Don’t be so surprised!
Indeed, the time is coming
when all the dead in their graves
will hear the voice of God’s Son,
and they will rise again.
Those who have done good
will rise to experience eternal life,
and those who have continued in evil
will rise to experience judgment.
John 5:28-29
“I tell you the truth,
those who listen to my message
and believe in God who sent me
have eternal life.
They will never be condemned for their sins,
but they have already passed from death into life.
John 5:24
…wake up and look around.
The fields are already ripe for harvest.
The harvesters are paid good wages,
and the fruit they harvest
is people brought to eternal life.
What joy awaits
both the planter and the harvester alike!
John 4:35-36
The woman said,
“I know the Messiah is coming—
the one who is called Christ.
When he comes,
he will explain everything to us.”
Then Jesus told her,
“I AM the Messiah!”
John 4:25-26
…the time is coming—
indeed it’s here now—
when true worshipers will worship the Father
in spirit and in truth.
The Father is looking for those
who will worship him that way.
For God is Spirit,
so those who worship him
must worship in spirit and in truth.”
John 4:23-24
…anyone who believes in God’s Son
has eternal life.
Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son
will never experience eternal life
but remains under God’s angry judgment.”
John 3:36
Jesus replied,
“If you only knew the gift God has for you
and who you are speaking to,
you would ask me,
and I would give you living water.”
…those who drink the water I give
will never be thirsty again.
It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them,
giving them eternal life.”
John 4:10, 14
“For God loved the world so much
that he gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
will not perish
but have eternal life.
God sent his Son into the world
not to judge the world,
but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-17
But if you don’t believe me
when I tell you about earthly things,
how can you possibly believe
if I tell you about heavenly things?
No one has ever gone to heaven and returned.
but the Son of Man has come down from heaven.
John 3:12-13
The wind blows wherever it wants.
Just as you can hear the wind
but can’t tell where it comes from
or where it is going,
so you can’t explain
how people are born of the Spirit.”
John 3:8
