John

Portrait of John

The beloved disciple John followed Jesus from the shores of Galilee to the cross of Calvary, where the Savior committed his mother into his keeping, and later received visions of the risen Lord on the isle of Patmos. His Gospel presents the deity of Christ through profound signs and discourses that lead souls to faith in the Son of God, while his letters call the church to walk in light and love as evidence of true fellowship with the Father. The book of Revelation crowns his testimony by disclosing the victory of the Lamb and the renewal of all things, strengthening believers to endure until the Lord returns.

Key Passages

For God So Loved the World

John 3:16-17

F16or God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

In the Beginning Was the Word

John 1:1-5

I1n the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

God Is Love

1 John 4:7-12

B7eloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

A New Heaven and New Earth

Revelation 21:1-5

A1nd I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
