Pastor Tim Goad brings us to what most credible scholars and commentators believe to be the conclusion to John's gospel, answering what has been seen as a controversy in the wording either leaning towards John showing to use HIS inspired writings as a tool of evangelism, or as a tool of continuing encouragement and assurance of GOD's grace in salvation in the regeneration of the lost to believe upon JESUS CHRIST as the only way, truth, and life. But if we look intently at the whole of this book, we see both of these truths working together, intertwined beautifully, to bring to light the truth of who JESUS is, and the message HE came to bring in saving sinners, as well as uplift HIS people in their faith towards HIM. Tim also debunks the thought that it is the very printed words that have the power to save, but the power of the HOLY SPIRIT in regeneration that truly brings about saving faith, a new heart,and a love of CHRIST that causes one to follow and obey. |
