What was the purpose of writing the Gospel of John?

"And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you might have life through his name." (John 20:30-31)

In Adam, humans who died in sin and death are found as servants of righteousness and life by crossing the cross from Adam and entering Christ through the grace of Christ's redemption, which means 'being born again, becoming a new creation, becoming a holy saint.

However, it is impossible to have eternal life in Christ through signs or the law delivered by angels.

Only through the word of the Son can one have eternal life.

God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that we can have eternal life in him. (John 3:16)

What is important is whether you believe that the One who rose again after the Son of Man was lifted up like Moses lifted up a snake in the wilderness is the only begotten Son, and that you know and believe in his words that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. (John 3:14-15)

A person standing before the cross only looks at Jesus and believes in him, but a person who is baptized who died and was resurrected again with Christ believes in him as the Lord in Christ.

That is why he says that those who believe in the Son have eternal life, but those who do not obey the Son will not see eternal life, but rather the wrath of God remains on them (John 3:36).

They say that they have been forgiven of their sins, but only actions are considered sins and they cannot leave the place of sin where they died in Adam due to sin and death, so they are still slaves to death and are under the wrath of God.

So the apostle John also says that those who reject Christ, the antichrist, or those who do not love Christ, the brother who became our brother to give us life, do not have eternal life (1 John 3:14-15).

Therefore, although all unrighteousness is sin: if any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. (1 John 5:16)

Even those who kill people can truly repent and receive eternal life, but soul killers who reject Christ are children of the devil (John 8:44), so they cannot receive eternal life.

Rejecting the Holy Spirit is rejecting Christ, so there is no way to receive eternal life.

Therefore, being unbiblical is a scary thing, but being unspiritual is even more scary.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the shepherd of our souls. We are his sheep.

When we hear his voice, we come to life and know that we have passed from death to life through Christ.

When we follow his death and resurrection, we enter the gate of the sheep and eat the bread of life.

When we hear the voice of the Lord and know and believe that his death is my death and his resurrection is my resurrection, he gives us eternal life and we gain the image of God and attain the attributes of God (John 10:35).

Because the Lord Jesus Christ is resurrection and life (John 11:25), through his resurrection He resurrects us who were dead in Adam and through his life becomes eternal life.

In order to give us that eternal life, just as a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies and bears much fruit, he offered his body on the cross so that the Spirit of truth would come and make us one bread, one body, and one spirit with the Lord through the Spirit of the Lord who comes to all.

He explained such a state with the parable of the vine and the branches, but those who pray in the name of the Lord through the labor of childbirth, denying themselves, according to the teaching and reminder of the Spirit of truth, do not need any more parables.

Because every time they call on the name of the Lord, they can feel that they are eating the life with the Lord and that they have been seated on the throne with the Lord. (Revelation 3:20)

The cause of all our human misfortune is death due to Adam's sin in Eden.

Because this death shoots the arrows of sin (1 Corinthians 15:56), if we do not hear the gospel of truth and follow Christ, we will be knocked out by the arrows of sin and suffer from weakness and illness.

Even if we believe in Jesus and receive forgiveness of sins and are washed in his blood, if we do not know repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38) that can escape the place of death, we are still under death.

The reason sin is scary is because death continues to kill people after it.

Death is the first cause and causes all people to struggle in the swamp of misfortune.

Sin is revealed on the outside, but death is the greatest enemy of mankind that the devil secretly hides, so people only consider sin important and do not know death.

This death continues to give people fear, discomfort, and anxiety that they do not know, so people wither away.

Because of this, even though they say they believe in Jesus, they look dull and boring with a pale face.

However, when they see food, money, or something interesting, they get excited about it and then it goes away again.

This death is so scary that it enters the lake of fire last, after the Antichrist and the false prophet, and then the devil, and is the highest level of the world.

Therefore, only by believing in Jesus as Christ, the Son of God, and gaining life in him can we overcome this death and enjoy and rejoice in the eternal life of righteousness, peace, and joy.

Therefore, salvation of the epistle of Roman is necessary.

The law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ completely frees us from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2) and creates the optimal spiritual state where we can think of the Spirit.

Therefore, unspiritual teachings are false, deceptive, and illegal.

It's similar, but even if it's slightly different, it's wrong.

Therefore, no matter how much you try to 'fall and rise' as a sign, it is not eternal life, so you just fall and rise because you cannot overcome death, and the swamp of misfortune remains the same.

You say, 'Only Jesus, believe in Jesus, go to heaven, and live forever after you die', but if you are currently under death, God's wrath remains on you, so it is hard.

The Lord came in human form to save us from death by dying for our sins and to transfer us into him so that we can obtain eternal life.

This is the born again and sanctification, so the Holy Spirit comes to make us know the truth and to boldly call upon the name of the Lord in Christ, so that we can obtain that life and gain it abundantly and fully, overcome the power of Hades that death drags around, and boldly go to the heavenly gate opened by the key of heaven before the Father to see his glory, love, worship, and praise him.

Of course, this salvation of eternal life does not come overnight, but if we consistently listen to the word of truth, engrave it in our hearts, and follow and follow Christ’s path, one day we will find ourselves boldly advancing toward heaven in Christ.
