All-or-nothing thinking usually leads to extremely unrealistic standards for yourself and others that could affect your relationships and motivation. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." #4 has eternal life and will not be judged The believer has begun eternal life upon salvation. This passage is used regularly to emphasize the doctrine known as "eternal security". But the Lord reproaches him, the master of Israel, with not knowing these things: that is, as a teacher, with Israel for his scholar, he ought to have known them objectively, at least, if not consciously. Here the Lord was really owned by the multitudes as the great Prophet that should come; and this in consequence of His works, especially that one which Scripture itself had connected with the Son of David. Loving Father, keep me ever mindful of Your Word and the truth that is contained in the plain message of Scripture and the glorious gospel of grace. 5 17. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. God does not here condescend to call it His, though, of course, it was His and holy, just, and good, both in itself and in its use, if used lawfully. For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. (ver. John 4:1-54 presents the Lord Jesus outside Jerusalem outside the people of promise among Samaritans, with whom Jews had no intercourse. But "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." There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that . In short, the riches of God's grace are here according to the glory of the Son, and in the power of the Holy Ghost. We have now the Word made flesh, called Jesus Christ this person, this complex person, that was manifest in the world; and it is He that brought it all in. Self-efficacy is a person's belief in their ability to succeed in a particular situation. The same picture, intensified to be sure, is sketched in John 20:24-29. But is passed from death unto life; both from a moral death to a spiritual life, being quickened, who before was dead in trespasses and sins; and from under a sentence of condemnation, and eternal death, which as a descendant of Adam, and according to the tenor of the law of works, he was subject to, to an open state of justification, according to the tenor of the covenant of grace; the righteousness of Christ being revealed to him, and received by faith, and the sentence of justification passed upon his conscience by the Spirit; so that he who before, in his own apprehension, was a dead man in a law sense, is now alive to God, and secure from the second death, and being hurt by it. Thus, in fact, we have the Lord setting aside what was merely Messianic by the grand truths of the incarnation, and, above all, of the atonement, with which man must have vital association: he must eat yea, eat and drink. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. Accordingly, if the law raised the question of righteousness in man, the cross of the Lord Jesus, typifying Him made sin, is the answer; and there has all been settled to the glory of God, the Lord Jesus having suffered all the inevitable consequences. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. No such sounds, no such realities were ever heard or known in Israel. Thus, manifestly, the whole question is terminated at the very starting-point of our gospel; and this is characteristic of John all through: manifestly all is decided. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. It is not merely a Messiah, who comes and offers Himself, as we find in other gospels, with most painstaking diligence, and presented to their responsibility; but here from the outset the question is viewed as closed. 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. Be they who they may now, as many as receive Him become children of God. There He supposes His full rejection and death. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. This question is raised, or rather settled, by the Lord in Jerusalem, at the passover feast, where many believed on His name, beholding the signs He wrought. For believers in Christ to enjoy the fullness of joy promised them by God all the time (John 16:23-24) 5. 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. They entered not into His words more than His grace, but thought and spoke, like the Samaritan woman, about things of this life. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." It was sabbath-day. 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. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." There is difference of manner for the world and His own ignorance and rejection.

John 5:37 Try listening to 1 John 5:11-13 on a Bible app, or record it with your voice and listen. He saw him under the fig tree. The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. No man hath seen God at any time. Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. VERSION, NIV Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica. How striking the omission! They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. Man, dead in sins, was the object of His grace; but then man's state was such, that it would have been derogatory to God had that life been communicated without the cross of Christ: the Son of man lifted up on it was the One in whom God dealt judicially with the evil estate of man, for the, full consequences of which He made Himself responsible. "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me :" ~ Ps 66:18. NIV Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life., NLT I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life.

John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. Your faith can be a hindrance or a blessing. Bible > John > Chapter 5 > Verse 24 John 5:24 Context Crossref Comment Greek Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. It is here we learn in what condition of His person God was to be revealed and the work done; not what He was in nature, but what He became. It should be noted that throughout Scripture until the very end of His revelation, this " as many as " attitude reflects the Father's heart toward His rebellious creatures, John recording And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. FIVE WONDERFUL THINGS John 5:24 Intro. He entered this world, became flesh, as born of woman; but there was no diminution of His own glory, when He, born of the virgin, walked on earth, or when rejected of man, cut off as Messiah, He was forsaken of God for sin our sin on the cross. The power of Jesus' sovereign words had the power to heal (and raise the dead, cf. I apprehend the words the Authorised Version gives in italics should disappear. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. For that reason, they "sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.". 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. 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. Grace begins, glory descends; "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone. Stigma, discrimination, and violation of human rights of people with schizophrenia are common. None the less did the result of His death proclaim His Deity. There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. It is now eternal reality, and the name of Jesus Christ is that which puts all things to a final test. A second and wholly new man appears the bread of God, not of man, but for men. Alas! Natural birth had nothing to do with this new thing; it was a new nature altogether in those who received Him: "Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." No mere man, nor angel, not the highest, the archangel, but the Son. But there was this difference from the former occasion, that, at the marriage in Cana (John 2:1-25), the change of the water into wine was clearly millennial in its typical aspect. It is not simply the new birth such as a saint might, and always must, have had, in order to vital relations with God at any time. Flesh and world are judged morally. It was but preliminary, of course; still it was a deep reality, the then present grace in the person of the Son, the Saviour of the world, who filled their once dark hearts with light and joy. May it be exalted above all blessing and praise! In the five porches, then, of this pool lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. This doesnt mean that what he is about to say is more true, only that it is more important. c. are quick to make and stick to initial impressions. Such was Jesus in person, contrasted with all who belong to the earth. 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. Jesus had just healed a man at the pool of Bethsaida, but He did this healing on the Sabbath. 05:08. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. And they asked him, What then? The allusion to the fig-tree confirms this. (Ver. It seemed natural: He had fed the poor with bread, and why should not He take His place on the throne? (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? It is not only the nature, but the model and fulness of the blessing in the Son, who declared the Father. Scripture is, or may be, before man always.

He reminds them of his previous disclaimer of any place beyond one sent before Jesus. In both instances Thomas appears as a person loyal to Jesus and ready to die with him, but, at the same time, skeptical, stubborn, and realist in a somehow negative way. They had stumbled before, and the Lord brought in not alone His person, as the Word made flesh, presented for man now to receive and enjoy; but unless they ate the flesh, and drank the blood of the Son of man, they had no life in them. "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." So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. According to Romans 5:8, how has God shown that he loves you? If He judges, it is not without full warning. For the astonishing thought is, not merely that Jesus receives the Holy Ghost without measure, but that God gives the Spirit also, and not by measure, through Him to others. How withering the words! Judgment has been given on Christ on the cross, so the believer will face no judgment for his or her sins. For the Christian eternal life begins upon belief in him who sent Jesus. The Lord and the disciples are next seen in the country district, not far, it would seem, from John, who was baptizing as they were. How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! Guided, they felt, by a divine hand, they coated steel panels in white paint and welded them together until, eventually, the shape of a woman, 90 feet tall, emerged. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. Verse 9 "Immediately the man became well. "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." And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. . 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. The healing of the courtier's son, sick and ready to die, is witness of what the Lord was actually doing among the despised of Israel. Heavy drinking can cause you to see things that aren't. He could be declared only by One who was a divine person in the intimacy of the Godhead, yea, was the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. To stay connected to their parent stock, as a branch and be fruitful (John . Get Your Bible Minute in Your Inbox Every Morning. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. He will have all honour the Son, even as Himself. He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he that disobeys the Son, in the sense of not being subject to His person, "shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" Such is the issue of the Son of God present in this world an everlasting one for every man, flowing from the glory of His person, the character of His testimony, and the Father's counsels respecting Him. But let them beware how they perverted it. Bear in mind that one of the points of instruction in this first part of our gospel is the action of the Son of God before His regular Galilean ministry. We see the world with our brain, and at best that organ is merely a very good guesser, says Sekuler. His Father "saving him from death" could have meant protection from death. Here we see Him accepting, not as fellow-servant, but as Lord, those souls who had been under the training of the predicted messenger of Jehovah that was to prepare His way before, His face. Gospel According to John, fourth of the four New Testament narratives recounting the life and death of Jesus Christ. #2 "whoever hears my word and believes" We are saved by hearing the truth of the gospel of Christ (Rom 10:17). When the man that had been healed obeyed Christ's instruction and picked up his bed to carry it home, it was construed as work, and they accused Jesus of violating their laws. 11:33-36. Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. John 7:37) It is not a question of eating the bread of God, or, when Christ died, of eating His flesh and drinking His blood. Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. "He Who Has the Son Has Life" 7. Here He is not portrayed as the Son of man who must be lifted up, but as the Son of God who was given. In the Word was life, and the life was the light of men. Thus a despised Christ is not merely a crucified Son of man, and given Son of God, as in John 3:1-36, but Himself a divine giver in communion with the Father, and in the power of the Holy Ghost who is given to the believer, the source of worship, as their God and Father is its object for the worshippers in spirit and truth (though surely not to the exclusion of the Son, Hebrews 1:1-14). This last is the figure of a truth deeper than incarnation, and clearly means communion with His death. God never left Himself without witness; He did not even among the Gentiles, surely yet less in Israel. 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). The Lord Jesus did, without question, take humanity in His person into that glory which He so well knew as the Son of the Father. More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents. To this last the Lord attaches the deepest importance. Dost thou see? It is evident, that were He not God, it would be an interference with His glory, a place taken inconsistent with His sole authority, no less than it must be also, and for that reason, altogether ruinous to man. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. He was God. The rejection of Christ is the contempt of God Himself, in that of which He is most jealous, the honour of the Saviour, His Son. 6 "You alone are the Lord. Melissa and . and the two disciples leave John for Jesus. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. 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. The question really is, whether man would trust God. But when the Lord speaks of His cross, and not God's judicial requirements only, but the gift of Himself in His true personal glory as the occasion for the grace of God to display itself to the utmost, then, and not till then, do we hear of eternal life, and this connected with both these points of view.
