The Purpose of Johns Gospel

BELIEVE!!!!

John 20:30-31(NIV)

30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Life in His name. Life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Another translation called The Message, has the verse this way:

John 20:30-31 (MSG)
30-31 Jesus provided far more God-revealing signs than are written down in this book. These are written down so you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and in the act of believing, have real and eternal life in the way he personally revealed it.

Just a portion, a percentage if you will, is written down for us to read. So many more miracles must’ve occurred in the lifetime of Jesus, but all we know are those that are written in the Bible. Imagine…ealing this earth knowing that you have seen the Messiah. That you have spent time with Jesus.

John, a best friend of Jesus, writes for us an account that enables us to get to know Jesus and understand His Gospel. Jesus is here for us. He was here in the beginning. He is with us now. He will be with us again soon. John wrote this Gospel for us to know He is coming.

Amen
