John 20:30 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.


John 20:30    Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

What are not written in this book?

“Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book” (John 20:30).
  •       How is this reiterated in John 21:25?
Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written” (John 21:25).

Why have these been written?

“but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31).
  •       What are you to believe?
“…that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…” (John 20:31).
  •       What may whoever believes in Him have?
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
  •       What is the result of unbelief in Jesus?
John 8:24 “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”


  Father,
You are true. Your will is for us to believe in Your Son Whom You sent to take away the sins of the world. For You so loved the world, that You gave Your only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For You did not send Your Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.


How may you have life in His name?

“…that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31).
