Bible Commentary

John 20:31

John's purpose statement is the purpose of the entire Bible for every reader: believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and have life. That life is for you, right now, in His name.

Memory phrase: Believe in Jesus — and have life.

Talk about it: John says this book was written specifically so that YOU might believe. How does it feel to know the Bible was written with you in mind?

Prayer: Jesus, I believe You are the Christ, the Son of God. And I receive the life You give. Thank You.
