According to John 5:24, what three things are the result of hearing and believing? It was God's great gift of love, mercy and grace (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-9). Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. He who owns the reality of Christ's incarnation, receives most thankfully and adoringly from God the truth of redemption; he, on the contrary, who stumbles at redemption, has not really taken in the incarnation according to God's mind. Grace begins, glory descends; "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." The close of the chapter shows us the Lord in Galilee. They knew what they worshipped, but not the Father, nor were they "true." It was not so. From CNN staff. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. 1 The psalmist proclaimed: "The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever" (119:160). His earthly rights are just where they should be; but not here, where the only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father has His appropriate place. And herein is that true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth. This brings all to a point; for the woman says, "I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things." As a present fact, the Lord justifies the judicial act before their eyes by His relationship with God as His Father, and gives the Jews a sign in the temple of His body, as the witness of His resurrection power. Deeper questions demanded solution. This leads Philip to Nathanael, in whose case, when he comes to Jesus, we see not divine power alone in sounding the souls of men, but over creation. and he cometh not to judgment, but has passed from the death, into the life. All this, however, was abstract, whether as to the nature of the Word or as to the place of the Christian. In 1 Peter 3:18, how did Peter explain what God has done to bring men to Himself? Hence it is that here the Son, according to the grace of God the Father, gives the Holy Ghost eternal life in the power of the Spirit. We have now the Word made flesh, called Jesus Christ this person, this complex person, that was manifest in the world; and it is He that brought it all in. Nothing less than everlasting life in Christ can deliver: otherwise there remains judgment. Nothing in the slightest degree detracted from His own personal glory, and from the infinitely near relationship which He had had with the Father from all eternity. Whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. But if the Spirit speaks of the Son of God, the law dwindles at once into the smallest possible proportions: everything yields to the honour the Father puts oil the Son. What Jesus said in essence is that some of you have been given ears that can continually hear. John 5:25 "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live." John 5:30 "I can do nothing on my own. 32:39); for He "works all things after the counsel of His will" (cf. There is but one unfailing test the Son of God God's testimony to Him. For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. And as life is in the person of the Son, so God in sending Him meant not that the smallest uncertainty should exist for aught so momentous. John 3:19; John 3:19) Other things, the merest trifles, may serve to indicate a man's condition; but a new responsibility is created by this infinite display of divine goodness in Christ, and the evidence is decisive and final, that the unbeliever is already judged before God. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. They accomplished this by repeatedly pairing the white rat with a loud, frightening clanging noise. Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. John chapter 5. (Verses John 5:17-18). The Jews had so misinterpreted the Law of Moses about the Sabbath day that they considered the miracles that Jesus carried out on the Sabbath, violated their strict rules. (Ver. #1 Very truly, Jesus underlines a point by beginning with very truly. Everything he says is true. To the Pharisees, indeed, his words as to the Lord are curt: nor does he tell them of the divine ground of His glory, as he had before and does after. "The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came ( ) by Jesus Christ." "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." The Jews, then, who could not help, and pitied not their fellow in his long infirmity and disappointment, are scandalized to see him, safe and sound, carrying his couch on that day. In the beginning of the chapter it was rather an essential indispensable action of the Holy Ghost required; here it is the privilege of the Holy Ghost given. Now, it is the Holy Ghost in the power that gives rivers of living water flowing out, and this bound up with, and consequent on, His being man in glory. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." So rich and transparently divine was the grace: not some souls, more meritorious than the rest, rewarded according to a graduated scale of honour, but "of his fulness have all we received." Here there could not be more, and He would not give less: even "grace upon grace." "He was in the world, and the world was made by him." The implications of this are staggering. The disciples of John dispute with a Jew about purification; but John himself renders a bright witness to the glory of the Lord Jesus. In his most famous and controversial experiment, known today as the "Little Albert" experiment, John Watson and a graduate assistant named Rosalie Rayner conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. There is difference of manner for the world and His own ignorance and rejection. Here He is not portrayed as the Son of man who must be lifted up, but as the Son of God who was given. God heard his Son in his time of crisis, but he didn't let the cup pass. Fritzsche, p. 21). John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. According to John 5:24, what three things are the result of hearing and believing? But Jesus replied, "My Father is working until now, and I Myselfam working. It was not that they were better than their neighbours. How was this? The Light, on coming into the world, lightens every man with the fulness of evidence which was in Him, and at once discovers the true state as truly as it will be revealed in the last day when He judges all, as we find it intimated in the gospel afterwards. Remark, too, the extent of the work involved in verse 29. And let him that heareth say, Come. For the Christian eternal life begins upon belief in him who sent Jesus. For evidently it is the theme of worship in its Christian fulness, the fruit of the manifestation of God, and of the Father known in grace. THE HOLY BIBLE, NEW INTERNATIONAL The Literary Theory Handbook introduces students to the history and scope of literary theory, showing them how to perform literary analysis, and providing a greater understanding of the historical contexts for different theories.. A new edition of this highly successful text, which includes updated and refined chapters, and new sections on contemporary theories Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. Jesus had just healed a man at the pool of Bethsaida, but He did this healing on the Sabbath. It finds, of course, a present application, and links itself with that activity of grace in which God is now sending out the gospel to any sinner and every sinner. He must be born of God. #2 whoever hears my word and believes We are saved by hearing the truth of the gospel of Christ (Rom 10:17). It was impossible that there should not be righteous dealing with human evil against God, in its sources and its streams. Bear in mind that one of the points of instruction in this first part of our gospel is the action of the Son of God before His regular Galilean ministry. The contrasts are as strong, at least, as the resemblance with the healing of the centurion's servant in Matthew 13:1-58 and Luke 7:1-50, which some ancients and moderns have confounded with this, as they did Mary's anointing of Jesus with the sinful woman's in Luke 7:1-50. hath everlasting life; not only in the purpose of God, and in the covenant of his grace, and in the hands of Christ, and in faith and hope; but he has a right unto it, and a claim of it, according to the declaration of the Gospel; and besides, has the principle of it in himself, the grace of God, which springs up into, is the beginning of, and issues in eternal life; he has also a meetness for it, and has the pledge and earnest of it, the Spirit of God, and shall certainly enjoy it: and shall not come into condemnation; neither for original sin, though judgment has passed upon all men unto condemnation for it; nor for actual sins and transgressions: for though everyone deserves condemnation, yet were there as many sentences of condemnation issued out as sins committed, not one of them could be executed on such who are in Christ Jesus, as he that believes in him is openly and manifestatively in him: the reason is, because the death of Christ is a security against all condemnation; and whoever believes in him shall not be condemned, but saved; and though he may come into judgment, yet not into condemnation: he shall stand in judgment, and be acquitted by the righteousness of Christ, which he, by faith, receives as his justifying righteousness. First, a new nature is insisted on the Holy Ghost's quickening of each soul who is vitally related to God's kingdom; next, the Spirit of God takes an active part not as source or character only, but acting sovereignly, which opens the way not only for a Jew, but for "every one." The Jews, with all their privileges, were strangers here. Both of them were in relation to man on the earth; the one while He was here, the other from above. Pia Sr. (John 5:24 KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. It is the revelation of God yea, of the Father and the Son, and not merely the detecter of man. And in this He is sovereign. It sends those. Man might pull Him down destroy Him, as far as man could, and surely to be the basis in God's hand of better blessing; but He was God, and in three days He would raise up this temple. Guided, they felt, by a divine hand, they coated steel panels in white paint and welded them together until, eventually, the shape of a woman, 90 feet tall, emerged. There was purpose in it. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. All is fitly closed by the declaration, that "the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." If I believe that God can't or won't do a certain thing, then it usually follows that God doesn't. The disciples come; the woman goes into the city, leaving her waterpot, but carrying with her the unspeakable gift of God. God's Word provides assurance for our everyday lives And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Resurrection will be the proof; the two-fold rising of the dead, not one, but two resurrections. Try listening to 1 John 5:11-13 on a Bible app, or record it with your voice and listen. Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. No charge could be remoter from the truth. There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. For this, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill Him; because He added the greater offence of making Himself equal with God, by saying that God was His own Father. God the Father forms a new family in, by, and for Christ. In these two points of view, more particularly, John gives testimony to Christ; He is the lamb as the taker away of the world's sin; the same is He who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Clinical trials of the gel began in 2019, inviting men aged 18 to 50 in a relationship with a woman aged 18 to 34 to enrol for two years. Thus it is not the Spirit of God simply giving a new nature; neither is it the Holy Ghost given as the power of worship and communion with His God and Father. How did John say a person receives the gift of salvation in John 1:12? His death on the cross included much more, clearly answering to the first; His baptizing with the Holy Ghost followed His going to heaven. They are embodied& revealedin Jesus - Jno. John 5:24 NIV "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." (VersesJohn 6:1-21; John 6:1-21). CNN . Today, it is still Jesuss Word that saves. No mere man, nor angel, not the highest, the archangel, but the Son. 2. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. Thus, in fact, we have the Lord setting aside what was merely Messianic by the grand truths of the incarnation, and, above all, of the atonement, with which man must have vital association: he must eat yea, eat and drink. What a witness all this to His person! He could be declared only by One who was a divine person in the intimacy of the Godhead, yea, was the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. Thus the Holy Ghost, given by the Son in humiliation (according to God, not acting on law, but according to the gift of grace in the gospel), was fully set forth; but the woman, though interested, and asking, only apprehended a boon for this life to save herself trouble here below. Glory would be displayed in its day. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing was a terrorist attack carried out on February 26, 1993, when a van bomb detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Accordingly, if the law raised the question of righteousness in man, the cross of the Lord Jesus, typifying Him made sin, is the answer; and there has all been settled to the glory of God, the Lord Jesus having suffered all the inevitable consequences. ", This response infuriated the Jews, for they knew thatJesus was making Himself equal with Almighty God. He was God. The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. Because of God's deep love for man He devised a plan to remove his sin and save his soul eternally. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. It is our evangelist's way of indicating His Galilean sojourn; and this miracle is the particular subject that John was led by the Holy Ghost to take up. The Lord and the disciples are next seen in the country district, not far, it would seem, from John, who was baptizing as they were. John 1:19-37; John 1:19-37) It is here presented historically. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. To stay connected to their parent stock, as a branch and be fruitful (John . Scripture is, or may be, before man always. Were the Jews zealously keeping the sabbath? 1. There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. His Father "saving him from death" could have meant protection from death. He explained that His whole life was to do the will of the Father and to carry it out in the power of the Spirit so asto please the Father, by only saying and doing the things that He heard from the Father. This statement (verse John 1:15) is a parenthesis, though confirmatory of verse John 1:14, and connects John's testimony with this new section of Christ's manifestation in flesh; as we saw John introduced in the earlier verses, which treated abstractly of Christ's nature as the Word. Eph. The rejection of Christ is the contempt of God Himself, in that of which He is most jealous, the honour of the Saviour, His Son. Coming after John as to date, He is necessarily preferred before him in dignity; for He was ( ) [not come into being ( )] before Him. Even now faith knows, that instead of sin being the great object before God, ever since the cross He has had before His eyes that sacrifice which put away sin. OBSERVING in the general preface, published in the December Magazine, * a hint which I have construed into a desire to increase the number of your miscellaneous correspondents; and, stimulated by the delicate reproof upon literary indolence, which that elegant exordium contains, I feel myself, while sitting quite at my leisure, on this evening of January 27th, 1792, strongly incited by my good . (ver. Verse 9 "Immediately the man became well. "And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. The same picture, intensified to be sure, is sketched in John 20:24-29. (Verses John 7:3-5) The Lord intimates the impossibility of anticipating the time of God; but then He does it as connected with His own personal glory. The question really is, whether man would trust God. In Jesus' Name we pray.. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." ~ Romans 12:21 (Col. 1:9-14) "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." ~ Prov 14:34. For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (Ver. For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
