Bible Commentary

John 3:36

The chapter closes with the same note it began — new life is available only through Jesus. There is no middle ground. This is the most serious and the most wonderful truth in all the world.

Memory phrase: Believe in the Son — and have everlasting life.

Talk about it: The verse says that those who believe have everlasting life right now — not just later. What does that mean for you today?

Prayer: Jesus, I believe in You. I choose life. Thank You for the everlasting life that is mine in You.
