Top Highlights
“John’s objective was not that the reader merely come to a crisis of faith and know certain facts as a result of reading this gospel, but rather that the reader might keep on believing. That which the reader is to believe is perhaps one of the most identifiable statements of Christology—‘that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.’” (Page xii)
“His name expresses the sum of all the qualities that mark His character and nature. To believe on, or believe in, that name involves the absolute transfer of trust from self to the Savior. Anything short of this falls short of saving faith.” (Page 4)
“Right up front in this gospel the apostle John establishes the eternal nature and deity of the Lord Jesus Christ” (Page 1)
“His creation (1:3). In the third verse, John specifically emphasizes the creative work of the Word” (Page 2)
“there will be a second, literal fulfillment before Christ comes in His glorious appearing” (Pages 10–11)
