That would be Jesus Christ. No one can come to the Father but by Jesus. Jesus is the solution to the sin problem, the means of salvation, the agent of creation, and the reason for salvation because the purpose for which we are saved is to be conformed to the image of Christ so that He would be the firstborn of many brethren.
Col. 1:16 For by Him (the pre-incarnate Jesus) all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17] He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

Rom. 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

John 10:10 ... "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

1.) It tells us that God is and sets forth many of his characteristics.
2.) God speaks to us. God has revealed himself to humankind ever since there was such a thing as humankind.
3.) God sent his Son Jesus Christ to save us.
4.) Come unto Christ and accept his sacrifice.

Matthew 22:-36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments-

It's not about the person but the Way He embodied; the Way to live in community with God and man, how to achieve it and how to live it.
