PARA COMER ~ FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Perhaps the most read book of the
bible is the Gospel of John; when someone is searching for God or
comes to Christ what is the first book we recommend they read?
The Gospel of John. Why?
To create belief in the reader. For those who don't know Christ,
our hope is in reading this Gospel they might come to believe, and
to those who just came to know Christ, that they will be
strengthened in their faith as they learn of the God-man Jesus
Christ.
The message is "believe"
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
"But these are written that
you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that
by believing you may have life in his name." John 20:31 (NIV)
Jesus is God in the flesh no mere
man can say these words and do these things. Jesus is the Son of
God which is a strong and clear claim to full deity, being
identified as God. That's the message, the signs he presented were
to convince you to believe and rely upon Jesus as the Son of God,
the provider of eternal life.
What does it mean to believe?
Is it intellectual assent, I believe this historical Jesus
existed, I believe the facts, even the doctrines taught in the
bible…yes, but it's more
than that--isn't believing
getting warm feelings, positive emotions about Jesus and learning
about his teachings, it can be, but
it's more than that--Isn't
believing coming to a point in my life that I make a decision to
accept Jesus into my heart, yes, but
it is more than that.
What does it mean to believe?
To believe, to trust in Jesus as my Lord and my God is to be
committed to Him-I follow him and I obey him. We believe-entrust
our entire life to him, abandon our will, and follow his will,
giving ourselves to God. John
10:27, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they
follow me." (NIV) John 14:15, "If you love me, you will
obey what I command." (NIV)
John wrote his gospel so that people
might believe, to create belief in the reader; the book has a
clear evangelistic purpose. John simply wanted to fulfill his
mission in life as given by his Lord and his God Jesus Christ,
John 17:18, "As you sent me into
the world, I have sent them into the world." (NIV)
Jesus was sent . . . into the world
on a mission by His Father. So believers are sent . . . into the
world on a mission by the Son, to make the Father known.
John 3:17, "For God did not send
his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him." (NIV)
