PRESENT_____ FUTURE_____ . The chapters we have had before us (John 1:1-51; John 2:1-25; John 3:1-36) are thus evidently an introduction: God revealed not in the Word alone, but in the Word made flesh, in the Son who declared the Father; His work, as God's Lamb, for the world, and His power by the Holy Ghost in man; then viewed as the centre of gathering, as the path to follow, and as the object even for the attendance of God's angels, the heaven being opened, and Jesus not the Son of God and King of Israel only, but the Son of man object of God's counsels. 'I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. Besides this, goodness overflows, in that the Father is gathering children, and making worshippers. If we believe "thatChrist died for our sins according to the Scriptures that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," then we have heard His Word, believed the Father Who sent Him, and "are given eternal life, and will not come under judgment but have passed from death to life.". THE HOLY BIBLE, NEW INTERNATIONAL According to Romans 5:8, how has God shown that he loves you? Two resurrections, one of life, and another of judgment, would be the manifestation of faith and unbelief, or rather, of those who believe, and of those who reject the Son. Art thou that prophet? For this, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill Him; because He added the greater offence of making Himself equal with God, by saying that God was His own Father. It is not now the revelation of God meeting man either in essential nature, or as manifested in flesh; nor is it the course of dispensational dealing presented in a parenthetic as well as mysterious form, beginning with John the Baptist's testimony, and going down to the millennium in the Son, full of grace and truth. He speaks of Himself as the Son of man in death; for there could be no eating of His flesh, no drinking of His blood, as a living man. Heavy drinking can cause you to see things that aren't. Thus solemnly does the meek Lord Jesus unfold these two truths. Thus it is not the Spirit of God simply giving a new nature; neither is it the Holy Ghost given as the power of worship and communion with His God and Father. It was not so. John 1:26-27; John 1:26-27) For himself he was not the Christ, but for Jesus he says no more. The great fact of the incarnation is brought before us "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father"). The US Capitol is once again secured but four people are dead - including one woman who was shot - after supporters of President Donald Trump breached one of the most iconic . (Verse John 3:10). He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. he might be; and this, too, as the expression of the true and full grace of God in His only-begotten Son given. And while He does not hide the privilege of the Jews, He nevertheless proclaims that "the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. I praise and thank You thatI have passed from death to life, by believing on Jesus. In vain did any come to the Baptist to report the widening circle around Christ. Of this we learn nothing, here. It is the revelation of God yea, of the Father and the Son, and not merely the detecter of man. B. Inviting other members of the emergency management team to discuss common goals. The Benefits of Hearing and Believing Elder R.M. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk."

Judgment is the alternative for man: for God it is the resource to make good the glory of the Son, and in that nature, in and for which man blind to his own highest dignity dares to despise Him. Schizophrenia causes psychosis and is associated with considerable disability and may affect all areas of life including personal, family, social, educational, and occupational functioning. He was simply saying what Paul would teach in Romans 8: "There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. The implications of this are staggering. Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. John 5:24 (NASB) Verse Thoughts Jesus had just healed a man at the pool of Bethsaida, but He did this healing on the Sabbath. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. "Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water." Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. Yet before a miracle, as well as in the working of those which set forth His glory, it is evident that so far from its being a gradual growth, as it were, in His mind, He had, all simple and lowly though He were, the deep, calm, constant consciousness that He was God. More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents. Nicodemus, not understanding in the least such a want for himself, expresses his wonder, and hears our Lord increasing in the strength of the requirement.

John 5:24 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. So only is man born of God. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." 3. The Jews had so misinterpreted the Law of Moses about the Sabbath day that they considered the miracles that Jesus carried out on the Sabbath, violated their strict rules. All rights reserved. 10 It is our judgment, despite a popular view that the specific signs number seven, the author, in fact, did not intend a catalog comprised of any specific number. He will have all honour the Son, even as Himself. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. #2 "whoever hears my word and believes" We are saved by hearing the truth of the gospel of Christ (Rom 10:17). So bright was His glory, so concerned was the Father in maintaining it, so immense the blessing if received, so tremendous the stake involved in its loss, that God vouchsafed the amplest and clearest witnesses. 32:39); for He "works all things after the counsel of His will" (cf. Every advocate of PME does this. The Lord, it is true, could and did go farther than the prophets: even if He taught on the same theme, He could speak with conscious divine dignity and knowledge (not merely what was assigned to an instrument or messenger). It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. Nor would the rejected Christ, the Son of man; for if lifted up on the cross, instead of having the throne of David, the result would be not merely earthly blessing for His people according to prophecy, but eternal life for the believer, whoever.

John 1:29; John 1:29John 1:34; John 1:34) of John Baptist's testimony here named; the first day (ver. First Peter 3:18-4:6. They were not to wonder then at what He says and does now; for an hour was coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; those that have done good to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to resurrection of judgment. It is there that we found the Lord, in the other synoptic gospels, fulfilling His ordinary ministry. For if, on the one side, God has taken care to let us see already the glory of the Son, and the grace of which He was full, on the other side, all shines out the more marvellously when we know how He dealt with a woman of Samaria, sinful and degraded. The brethren of the Lord Jesus, who could see the astonishing power that was in Him, but whose hearts were carnal, at once discerned that it might be an uncommon good thing for them, as well as for Him, in this world. Remark, too, the extent of the work involved in verse 29. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Nehemiah 9:5-8 (NLT) 5 Then the leaders of the Levitescalled out to the people: "Stand up and praise the Lord your God, for he lives from everlasting to everlasting!" Then they prayed: "May your glorious name be praised! Not only is there no healing to be extracted from the law by a sinner, but the law makes more evident the disease, if it does not also aggravate the symptoms. John 4:1-54 presents the Lord Jesus outside Jerusalem outside the people of promise among Samaritans, with whom Jews had no intercourse. Now, it is no longer a question of nature, but of relationship; and hence it is not said simply the Word, but the Son, and the Son in the highest possible character, the only-begotten Son, distinguishing Him thus from any other who might, in a subordinate sense, be son of God "the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father." .

Spite of the most express signs, and the manifest finger of God that wrote the ten words on tables of stone, the law sinks into comparative insignificance. Hearing, Swing, and Believing in the Gosl of John 329 John 1,19-51 The narrative portion of the gospel tegins with an interchange between John and a delegation from Jerusalem (1,19-28), an account of John's testimony to Jesus and its effect on two of his own disci- pies (1,29-39), and a description,of the effect of their words and For the Christian eternal life begins upon belief in him who sent Jesus.

"John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I spake: He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me." If she turned aside to questions of religion, with a mixture of desire to learn what had concerned and perplexed her, and of willingness to escape such a searching of her ways and heart, He did not refrain graciously to vouchsafe the revelation of God, that earthly worship was doomed, that the Father was to be worshipped, not an Unknown. Salem Media Group. Alas! "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

A California couple is suing a fertility clinic claiming that doctors mistakenly transferred an embryo that tested positive for a deadly cancer gene and then tried to cover it up. John 1:17; John 1:17) The law, thus given, was in itself no giver, but an exacter; Jesus, full of grace and truth, gave, instead of requiring or receiving; and He Himself has said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. (Verse John 7:39), Nothing can be simpler than this. "He must, increase, but I decrease." Before the manner of His manifestation comes before us in verse 14, we have the secret explained why some, and not all, received Christ. The same God who did not leave Himself without witness among the heathen, doing good, and giving from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, did not fail, in the low estate of the Jews, to work by providential power at intervals; and, by the troubled waters of Bethesda, invited the sick, and healed the first who stepped in of whatever disease he had. The Puritans in New England endured the chilliest winters of the time in the period of 1680 to 1730 according to the weather records from Mckaila (2014). But Jesus replied, "My Father is working until now, and I Myselfam working. For John abiding in Christ involves love for one another, as in John 15:9-17, and John 5:24. Jesus is making the profound statement that salvation is a free gift from God for those who believe in his Son, Jesus Christ. For He who spoke was divine. When one of the first two is not in control, the soul is in a state of disarray. None the less did the result of His death proclaim His Deity. Observe: not which was, but "which is." (VerseJohn 4:10; John 4:10) Infinite grace! In John He is One who could be described as Son of man who is in heaven; but He belonged to heaven, because He was divine. (Verses John 7:16-18) , The Jews kept not the law) and wished to kill Him who healed man in divine love. John 7:38; John 7:38) And then we have the comment of the Holy Ghost: "(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified)" There is, first, the thirsty soul coming to Jesus and drinking; then there is the power of the Spirit flowing forth from the inner man of the believer in refreshment to others.

This, of course, supposes the setting aside of Jerusalem, its people and house, as they now are, and is justified by the great fact of Christ's death and resurrection, which is the key to all, though not yet intelligible even to the disciples. Indeed, it is the total eclipse, not merely of law and remedial mercies, but even of promised Messianic glory, by everlasting life and resurrection at the last day. For this reason Jesus perfected revelation by fulfilling it through his whole work of making Himself present and manifesting Himself: through His words and deeds, His signs and wonders, but especially through His death and glorious resurrection from the dead and final sending of the Spirit of truth. It is not surprising that Fackre appeals to 1Peter 3:18-4:6 to support the doctrine of salvation after death. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Still the eternal day alone will show out the full virtue of that which belongs to Jesus as the Lamb of God, who takes away the world's sin.
