John Chapter 14 Discussion Page 14

The Lord is great at all times.

No person comes to the Father except by Jesus. Jesus is the only Way to Eternal Life. Exodus 3:13-14 says,And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Moses needed confidence and and God said to tell him that I AM was sending Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt by I AM 's power. John 14 passage is a treasure because Jesus is talking about being the WAY to eternal life and being the only Way to God. Also that Jesus would send the Holy Spirit in His name after Jesus ascended back to the Father, coming on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2. John is one of my favorite books in the Bible. Yes, God has different names but only one begotten Son, Jesus and we have life in His name, when we trust and obey Him.

I thought that this passage refers to all believers, no matter what faith you followed. Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Hindu,Judaism,etc.! If you believed in God, Yahweh, Jehovah....The creator of us all, no matter what name you place to our Lord. I once heard that He gave his name to Moses as "I am " when Moses asked while on the mount and God appeared as the burning bush.

Jesus Christ is our peace that he gave according to Ephesians 2:14 If you have accepted Him, you will enjoy His peace in every situation.

Hello M. Lynn You are welcome. Knowing that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh and that all things were created by him and without him nothing can be made that was made, John 1 3 "All things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made ". Nothing is impossible for him to do.

Thank you Evangelist Robinson. I have a definite understanding of the Godhead after exploring your information.

Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Acts 2 38 is the beginning of our Christian walk. We need to be spreading the Word of God by living His Word, planting seeds of hope for a future, making disciples of all nations, be shining lights for the dark world, always pointing to Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith.Many people are blinded by money and miss the riches of Christ. Judas saw our Savior Jesus perform many healings, miracles and people raised from the dead but Judas chose a different path. We need to pray that our nation, friends and families repent and come to Jesus, the giver of true riches.

Hello M. Lynn Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. There is no three beings in the godhead to worship. There is only one. 1 John 5 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one. Also read 1 Timothy 3 16. The choice is yours to serve him in spirit and in truth by following Acts 2 38.

This Chapter is a beautiful read of why faith is the ultimate imperative in our relationship to the Father and Son. His explanation to Judas was an open heart invitation to the trinity, the choice is ours.

Part 3 of 3 Ephesians 4 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. There are many religions, but there is only one faith. Faith is what separates what is true and not true. The true believers believe in the word of God as it is written by the Apostles follow what Peter stated on the day of Pentecost in order to be saved, Acts 2 38. According to Paul epistle James 1 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world , James was saved. He was of the same faith as Paul and Peter.

Part 2of 3 If I can say it like this, in regarding the scripture John 14 2 In my Father 's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you , Jesus is not saying that he is going to build anything for us. He is going to prepare a place not build. Think about it like this, when a person visits or relatives move in, you make room for them in your abode or home. This is what Jesus was saying. The mansions are already there. God does not find rest in us. We find rest in him. Matthew 11 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .

Part 1of 3 Hello Sandesh tiwade The body is a temple for the living God. 2 Corinthians 6 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them and I will be their God, and they shall be my people . This scripture is referring to the filling of the Holy Ghost by God within the body of a person who has followed Acts 2 38. After we have followed Acts 2 38 then we become the living temples of God.

Could someone tell me why they think fasting isn 't taught more. Jesus said His followers would fast more after he left. I don 't understand why I don 't hear more sermons on fasting but there are many in churches who would never dream of missing the monthly potluck after worship.

Yes,Sandesh, we need to pray Jesus comes soon. We need to love one another more. Our job as the church is to not argue but tell people about Jesus so He can add them to the body, church. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male or female for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if belong to Christ, then you are Abraham 's offspring, heirs according to promise. " Galatians 3 28 29 We always need to follow what Jude 3 says and earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to all the saints, beginning in Acts 2.

In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed, Father help them to be one as we are one so the world will believe you sent me. John 17 17 21. Yes, we need to be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing in the lost and lifting up the fallen. Not arguing on who has more truth. Jesus is the Way and we find rest in Him. There us no other name under Heaven whereby we are saved but Jesus.

THERE ARE MANNY ABODES IN MY FATHER 'S HOUSE AS OUR LORD SAYS ,HE WAS THE HOUSE ON THIS EARTH . MANNY ABODES ARE THE BELIEVERS. THE WAY WAS CROSS AND HIS COMING WAS IN RESURRECTION . SO WE THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE PLACE WHERE GOD FINDS REST. THOSE WHO THINK OF MANSION OR MATERIAL HOUSE SHOULD THINK THAT WE HAVE GOD WHO CREATES BY HIS WORD SO CAN YOU THINK THAT LORD JESUS IS BUILDING ABODES FOR LAST 2000 YEARS.HE IS BUILDING HIS BODY MATT 16 18 , YET NOT COMPLETE. WE NEED TO PRAY THAT HIS BODY CHURCH SHOULD BE BUILD. THERE ARE MORE THAN 90000 DENOMINATIONS IN CHRISTIANITY AND SORRY TO SAY THAT EACH DENOMINATION THINKS HE IS BETTER AND PERFECT , THEY UNDERMINE OTHERS. THERE IS NO ONESS, NO HARMONY ,THERE IS ALWAYS CRITICISM WITH ONE ANOTHER. WE NEED TO PRAY THAT THERE MAY BE HARMONY WITH EVERY BELIEVER OF ANY RACE , COUNTRY , COLOR , LANGUAGE ETC. SO THAT LORD WILL COME SOON

Isn 't it exciting to talk about heaven? I wonder why there are not more sermons and books on heaven?

Hello Joni G. John 14 2 In my Father 's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you . If it were not so Jesus would not have said it. I believe there are physical mansions. We know that there is furniture of some sort, because in Revelation 4 1 thru 4 there are thrones mentioned. There is a city mentioned in heaven that is surrounded by gates, Revelation Chapters 21 and 22. It is not beyond the realm of belief that Jesus Christ has mansions, physical mansions made for us. We will be singing, rejoicing, and praising God forever. There will be no more sickness or hatred. However, this still does not mean that we will not have furniture and places to live. The four and twenty elders sit and then fall down and worship God, Revelation 4 10.

I wonder what kind of mansion Jesus is building for us? He knows us inside and out. It won 't be a physical mansion of course. We are going to be praising Him forever and ever. When I was a little girl singing in worship, I remember the preacher saying we would be singing praises forever. I thought, won 't we get tired? No more tiredness. Rest in the Savior. He will also explain many things to us...

thanks!

Hello Nancy Yes, you are absolutely correct. It is part of the salvation plan. You cannot just get any kind of baptism. It has to be the correct baptism. The correct baptism is so important that Paul rebaptized 12 men the correct way, Acts 19 1 thru 7.

Baptism IS NEEDED for salvation...repent and be baptised everyone of you for the remission of you sins... maybe not said in exact words .

Baptism is not only a work but a deed as well. The word work means activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. You make up your mind to follow Acts 2 38. You are putting for a physical effort to get the job done by being submerged in water according to the scriptures. The word deed means something that is done, an act or action. Colossians 3 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. The baptism means to submerge in water. The Greek word baptizo means to dip or to plunge. The symbolic meaning of the baptism is the burial. There are many examples of this throughout the Book of Acts. The baptism is so important that in Acts 19 1 7 these 12 men had to be rebaptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Jesus said it Peter clarified it on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2 38, the Apostles carried it out. Even Paul who is the Gentiles Apostle baptized Acts 19 1 thru 7. Baptism is very important and part of the salvation plan.

Water baptism is a Work, not needed for salvation. It is a heresy called "baptismal regeneration ". For more info on how to Really be saved, visit GotQuestions dot org

Hello I cannot stress enough that we are living in the last days. You must follow Acts 2 38 in order to be saved. You must have the correct baptism. Does baptism save you alone? The answer is no. You need to repent and God has to fill you with the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the spirit of God give utterance. However, baptism is part of the salvation plan. The preacher must call the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. The correct and true baptism will bring about the following Being baptized the correct way, you are baptized unto his death, have put on Christ, buried with him, and the answer of a good conscience toward God. Romans 6 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Galatians 3 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Colossians 2 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 1 Peter 3 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ Everyone needs to be baptized and in the correct way so saith the Word of God.

Hello Mockingbird I do not think that you are saying the same thing as I am are you? Colossians 2 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. The only way that Jesus Christ dwells in us is through the power of the Holy Ghost which he gives to those who truly repents. The evidence after receiving the Holy Ghost is the speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God give you utterance. There is only one being in the Godhead bodily. There is not three beings in the Godhead bodily. Jesus Christ is God all by himself. It is a mystery, but it is the truth, 1 Timothy 3 16.

Father Son Holy Spirit Trinity Which equals to One Jesus Christ The Father in Jesus and Jesus in the Father and Jesus in me Which equals 3 in 1 and all in Jesus and me. I like Ileana Pierra 's comment I am so Happy for you !!!!!

GOD sent JESUS because JESUS is the eternal life which lives in GOD I am in JESUS ANDJESUS IN ME JESUS IN GOD I AM IN GOD IS HAVE ETERNAL LIFE

Salvation at the moment we are immersed into Christ. Water baptism is the final step in being saved. Before that we have heard the beautiful Gospel, have believed in Christ 's death, burial and resurrection, have confessed his name to be the Son of God, repented of our sins. By grace are we saved through faith. An active faith. If we were saved the moment we believed, there would be no example of people being baptized into Christ on the day of Pentecost. Peter who knew the Jews were cut to the heart for crucifying Jesus would have said, you believe. Welcome to the kingdom, church,new birth! He did not. When asked what they should do, Peter told the Jews to repent and be baptized. They received the gift of the Holy Spirit as we do today. Their hearts were ready to obey and grow. We are but jars of clay holding this beautiful message! Let us gently lead others to Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, King and friend. Let 's ask the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and point to Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Sometimes we focus on the natural reasoning of things,losing at the same time,our spiritual purpose.Because God is spirit,then our thoughts and spiritual perspectives should also be spiritual minded.Then our connections will connect.
