What I believe

  What I believe

The apostle John states,

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  

He was with God in the beginning. 

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  

In him was life, and that life was the light of men....

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ” John 1:1-4,14.

John here refers to Jesus as...

  “the word” 

That he was... 

“with God in the beginning”

That .....

“Without him nothing was made that has been made.”

That....

“In him was life and that life was the light of men...”

That...

“The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”

John then states that he and the other disciples had seen his glory the glory of the one and only who came from the Father.

And the reason all this happened is made clear by the apostle John who states,

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.

  At the same time the apostle John writes a warning when he states,

“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:18.

It is a message that neither I or anyone who believes in Christ Jesus can force anyone to believe. I simply place it here for those who would read it to simply think about.

Please think about it.
