Judgment has been given on Christ on the cross, so the believer will face no judgment for his or her sins. The House Jan. 6 select committee's fourth hearing of the month just wrapped up. 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. Nay, "the world knew him not." Nor was it yet complete. 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 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. 5 17. So only is man born of God. We were dead in our trespasses and sins, walking in darkness (Eph 2:1). This is all perfectly true, of course; and we have it elsewhere. John 1:29; John 1:29John 1:34; John 1:34) of John Baptist's testimony here named; the first day (ver. The implications of this are staggering. "But He said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of." The Father and the Son were at work. As this chapter sets forth the Lord Jesus with singular fulness of glory, on the side both of His Godhead and of His manhood, so it closes with the most varied and remarkable testimonies God has given to us, that there may be no excuse. 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. The two acts (new birth and faith) are so closely connected that in experience we cannot distinguish them. (VersesJohn 3:7-8; John 3:7-8), It is hardly necessary to furnish detailed disproof of the crude, ill-considered notion (originated by the fathers), that baptism is in question. According to Dweck and Ehrlinger, people who hold an entity theory of human nature: a. see the world as in a constant state of flux. Jno. The Lord, it is true, could and did go farther than the prophets: even if He taught on the same theme, He could speak with conscious divine dignity and knowledge (not merely what was assigned to an instrument or messenger). what God has done & will do for all who believe & obey Jesus! c. are quick to make and stick to initial impressions. he would not. but He, who is the Word made flesh, is the only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, and so competent to declare, as in fact He has. The person of the Son was there the object of divine and overflowing joy even then, although, of course, in the full sense of the word, the Holy Ghost might not be given to be the power of it for some time later; but still the object of worship was there revealing the Father; butJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 supposes Him to be gone up to heaven, before He from heaven communicates the Holy Ghost, who should be (not here, as Israel had a rock with water to drink of in the wilderness outside themselves, nor even as a fountain springing up within the believer, but) as rivers flowing out. Such is God's vindication of His outraged rights; and the judgment will be proportionate to the glory that has been set at nought. No doubt Jesus Himself had the Holy Ghost given to Him, as it was meet that He in all things should have the pre-eminence; but it shows yet more both the personal glory of Christ and the efficacy of His work, that He now gives the same Spirit to those who receive His testimony, and set to their seal that God is true. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. No doubt He must become a man, in order, amongst other reasons, to be a sufferer, and to die. "Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life." - John 5:24 Hearing His Word Jesus said, "Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life," so we must hear what Jesus says to us, but more importantly, we must do what He says (Matt 25:40). 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. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. John was not yet cast into prison. Could they, then, reject the Son, and merely miss this infinite blessing of life in Him? (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." 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. But it is important we should know how He entered the world. Man is morally judged. I praise and thank You thatI have passed from death to life, by believing on Jesus. Alone, he laments his inability to write poetry. (ver. The Puritans in New England endured the chilliest winters of the time in the period of 1680 to 1730 according to the weather records from Mckaila (2014). How could either light or love rest in a scene of sin, darkness, and misery? 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." Black-or-white thoughts may also set you up for. Thus it is a kind of transitional fact for a most important part of our gospel, though still introductory. Natural birth had nothing to do with this new thing; it was a new nature altogether in those who received Him: "Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. In truth, Christian baptism did not yet exist, but only such as the disciples used, like John the Baptist; it was not instituted of Christ till after His resurrection, as it sets forth His death. , , . How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! that we may give an answer to them that sent us. Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? This only secures His honour in those that believe God's testimony to Him, the Son of God; and to these He gives life, everlasting life now, and exemption from judgment, in this acting in communion with the Father. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. None the less did the result of His death proclaim His Deity. If He judges, it is not without full warning. In a certain sense, the principle of John 4:1-54 was made true in the woman of Samaria, and in others who received Christ then. Stigma, discrimination, and violation of human rights of people with schizophrenia are common. So in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, who would pretend to such a power? 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., NLT I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. (Ver. (Page 61; 1989). Thus, manifestly, the whole question is terminated at the very starting-point of our gospel; and this is characteristic of John all through: manifestly all is decided. John 4:1-6; John 4:1-6) What a picture of rejection and humiliation! (Verse John 7:39), Nothing can be simpler than this. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me :" ~ Ps 66:18. Alas! Of this we learn nothing, here. His first approach is often to cast doubt on the work God has done in your heart. Pharisaic jealousy had wrought; and Jesus, wearied, sat thus at the fountain of Jacob's well in Sychar. 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. (VersesJohn 6:1-21; John 6:1-21). Such was Jesus in person, contrasted with all who belong to the earth. (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). Jesus is making the profound statement that salvation is a free gift from God for those who believe in his Son, Jesus Christ. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." He bows to, as he explains, the sovereign will of God. The result immediately follows. The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. Such was the grace that God was displaying in Him, the true and full expresser of His mind. Therefore, it seems to me, He adds verse 24. It is there that we found the Lord, in the other synoptic gospels, fulfilling His ordinary ministry. Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. In the five porches, then, of this pool lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. Hearing, Swing, and Believing in the Gosl of John 329 John 1,19-51 The narrative portion of the gospel tegins with an interchange between John and a delegation from Jerusalem (1,19-28), an account of John's testimony to Jesus and its effect on two of his own disci- pies (1,29-39), and a description,of the effect of their words and Frequently asking others to speak more slowly, clearly and loudly. John 3:1-36 follows this up. The brethren of the Lord Jesus, who could see the astonishing power that was in Him, but whose hearts were carnal, at once discerned that it might be an uncommon good thing for them, as well as for Him, in this world. 5. Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. For if the Son (cast out, we may say, in principle from Judaism) visited Samaria, and deigned to talk with one of the most worthless of that worthless race, it could not be a mere rehearsal of what others did. Fritzsche, p. 21). No man hath seen God at any time. God orders matters so that a favoured teacher of men, favoured as none others were in Israel, should come to Jesus by night. behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. E-Book Overview. The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. 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. He was just stating what the Philippian jailer would hear: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you willbe saved." They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. 11 What is significant about the first two signs is that they occurred in Cana of . So we see in the attractive power, afterwards dealing with individual souls. The looking for signs and wonders is rebuked; but mortality is arrested. 1:11). The resurrection of the Lord is not more truly a demonstration of His power and glory, than the only deliverance for disciples from the thraldom of Jewish influence. 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 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. Bible > Commentaries > John 5:24 eBibles Free Downloads John 5:24 Sons they might have been in bare title; but these had the right of children. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. (VerseJohn 4:1; John 4:1) It was strange to her that a Jew should thus humble himself: what would it have been, had she seen in Him Jesus the Son of God? Not Jacob was there, but the Son of God in nothing but grace; and thus to the Samaritan woman, not to the teachers of Israel, are made those wonderful communications which unfold to us with incomparable depth and beauty the real source, power, and character of that worship which supersedes, not merely schismatic and rebellious Samaria, but Judaism at its best. The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (Verses John 1:44-51). The Lord meets him at once with the strongest assertion of the absolute necessity that a man should be born anew in order to see the kingdom of God. Meanwhile, near Leonato's estate, Benedick asks Margaret to bring Beatrice to speak to him. It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. The Father seeks worshippers. In such a condition, individuals make poor choices and live unhappy lives. Thus a despised Christ is not merely a crucified Son of man, and given Son of God, as in John 3:1-36, but Himself a divine giver in communion with the Father, and in the power of the Holy Ghost who is given to the believer, the source of worship, as their God and Father is its object for the worshippers in spirit and truth (though surely not to the exclusion of the Son, Hebrews 1:1-14). No doubt there are intervening applications; but such is the ultimate result of His work as the Lamb of God. Summary: Act V, scene ii. 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. 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. The Moral Soul The scripture text that brother Michael is preaching from is John 5:24-25 and the audio is 53 minutes long. VERSION, NIV Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica. But his ways were higher. (Ver. It seemed natural: He had fed the poor with bread, and why should not He take His place on the throne? . It is here we learn in what condition of His person God was to be revealed and the work done; not what He was in nature, but what He became. Thus we have traced, first, hearts not only attracted to Him, but fresh souls called to follow Him; then, in type, the call of Israel by-and-by; finally, the disappearance of the sign of moral purifying for the joy of the new covenant, when Messiah's time comes to bless the needy earth; but along with this the execution of judgment in Jerusalem, and its long defiled temple. (Ver. There is difference of manner for the world and His own ignorance and rejection. God does not here condescend to call it His, though, of course, it was His and holy, just, and good, both in itself and in its use, if used lawfully. The law works no deliverance; it puts a man in chains, prison, darkness, and under condemnation; it renders him a patient, or a criminal incompetent to avail himself of the displays of God's goodness. Such shall live. 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 judgment; but is passed from death unto life. I don't realize until the next morning that it's completely insane to think any of this. Then, resuming the strain of verse John 1:14, we are told, in verseJohn 1:16; John 1:16, that "of his fulness have all we received." So on the last day, that great day of the feast (the eighth day, which witnessed of a resurrection glory outside this creation, now to be made good in the power of the Spirit before anything appears to sight), the Lord stands and cries, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." 4 5 One who was . How withering the words! There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. They had no common thoughts, feelings, or ways with the Father and the Son. John 3:31-36) he speaks of His person in contrast with himself and all; of His testimony and of the result, both as to His own glory, and consequently also for the believer on, and the rejecter of, the Son. (Ver. At Pentecost, Jesus empowered his followers to preach his Word. . John Vassallo is instead now proposing a car wash near the southwest corner of West Bluemound and North Mayfair roads. Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. "The retina takes a three-dimensional world and collapses it into signals. He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he that disobeys the Son, in the sense of not being subject to His person, "shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" Such is the issue of the Son of God present in this world an everlasting one for every man, flowing from the glory of His person, the character of His testimony, and the Father's counsels respecting Him. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Jesus finally summed up this important teaching that spelt out the clear message of His eternal deity before saying: "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul.

Nehemiah 9:5-8 (NLT) 5 Then the leaders of the Levitescalled out to the people: "Stand up and praise the Lord your God, for he lives from everlasting to everlasting!" Then they prayed: "May your glorious name be praised! They had eyes, but they saw not; ears had they, but they heard not, nor did they understand His glory.
