(KJV) John 1:1

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

John begins his Gospel (his account of the “good news” and true story of Jesus Christ) by calling Jessus “the Word” (Greek logos). By using this title, John presents Jesus as the personal Word of God through who God spoke all things into existence (John 1:3; Genesis 1:3; Genesis 1:6, 9; Genesis 1:14-15; Genesis 1:20, 24). The Bible also reveals that God has spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2; Hebrews 1:3); and Jesus Himself declares that His own words are directly from God (John 8:28; 14:24). It is also written in the Bible that Jesus Christ is God’s wisdom for us in every way, helping us to understand and accomplish God’s purposes (1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 3:10-11; Ephesians 3:10; Colossians 2:2-3). Also, the Word describes Jesus as the perfect revelation and representation of the Father’s nature and character (John 1:3-5, 14, 18; John 1:4; John 1:5; Colossians 2:9). That is to say, He is God in human form. Just as a person’s words reveal his or her heart and mind, Christ as “the Word’ reveals the heart and mind of God (John 14:9), John gives us three main characteristics of Jesus Christ as “the Word.”

1. The Word in relation to the Father. (a) Christ was “with God” before the creation of the world (Colossians 1:15). He was a person existing from eternity – without beginning or end – distinct from God the Gather but in and eternal, unified relationship with Him). (b) Christ is divine (“the Word was God”), having the same nature, character and quality of being as the Father (Colossians 2:9; Mark 1:11).
2. The Word in relation to the world. It was through Christ the God created the world (John 1:3). In fact, all things were not only made by Him (by Christ, the Word), but for Him as well (Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2).
3. The Word in relation to humanity. “The Word Became flesh” (John 1:14). In Jesus, God became a human being, taking on our form of existence, but with our sinful nature (since He was conceived by a miracle of the Holy Spirit; Matthew 1:23). This is the basic statement of the incarnation (God coming to us in human form): Christ left heaven and entered the condition of human life through the gateway of human birth (John 1:14; Matthew 1:23).

(KJV) John 4:24

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Because Jesus Christ is the truth (John 1:14; 5:31; 14:6; Luke 4:25; 9:27; 12:44), to live in unity with Christ requires speaking the truth (1 Corinthians 5:8; Ephesians 4:25) and living by the truth. People who claim to have a relationship with Christ (that is, to be spiritually saved), yet do not live and speak the truth as revealed in God’s Word, are deceived (1 John 1:6). In time, they will expose the real condition of their hearts (John 8:44; Acts 5:3). They are opposed to God and will have no place in the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:15). The Bible teaches that a liar is of “the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 3:9).

(KJV) John 4:23-24

 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Jesus teaches several things here:

1. First of all, the place of worship in not the issue; God’s primary concern is our spiritual attitude.
2. “In spirit” points to the level, or depth, at which true worship occurs. True worship must come from the heart. It should reflect godly character and a deep inner devotion to God. We must approach God and offer ourselves to Him in complete openness and with a spirit that is directed by the Holy Spirit. Above all, our worship must focus on God’s character and attributes and be a heartfelt expression of our own spirit to God’s Spirit.
3. “Truth” (Gree, aletheia) is a primary characteristic of God’s nature (Psalms 31:5; Romans 1:25; 3:7; 15:8) and is personified (given human expression) in Christ (John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 11:10; Ephesians 4:21). It is descriptive of the Holy Spirit (John 14:17; 15:25; 16:130), and it is also at the heart of the gospel message of Christ (John 8:32; Galatians 2:5; Ephesians 1:13). True worship must be a reflection of and response to the truth of the Father that is revealed in the Son and received through the Spirit. Those who encourage worship that is not based upon the truth and teachings of God’s Word have in reality rejected the only real and legitimate foundation for true worship.

(KJV) John 4:22

You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

The Samaritan Bible contained only the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament); their failure to accept much of God’s revelation meant that they knew little about Him. “Salvation is from the Jews” simply refers to the fact that the Messiah, or Christ (John 4:24), would be a Jew.

(KJV) John 4:14

but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

The “water” Jesus offers is spiritual life (Isaiah 12:3). To experience this life, one must “drink” the living water (John 7:37). The word “drink” (Greek pineto, from pino) is in the present imperative tense, representing continuing or repeated action. This act of drinking is not a momentary, single experience, it is an ongoing lifestyle. Drinking the water of life requires regular interaction with the source of the living water, Jesus Christ Himself. No one can continue to drink the water of life if he or she neglects a relationship with Christ and becomes disconnected from the source of the water. Such people will dry up spiritually or become, as Peter describes it, “springs without water” (2 Peter 2:17).

(KJV) John 4:7

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”

Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman reveals His commitment to His heavenly Father’s purpose and His own inner desire to bring people of all races, cultures and backgrounds into a personal relationship with God (2 Kings 17:24; Luke 9:53). Jesus’ consuming passion was to save the spiritually lost (Luke 15; Proverbs 11:30; Daniel 13:3; James 5:20), a goal far more important to Him than food and drink (John 4:34). We must follow Jesus’ example (just as the woman did by telling the townspeople, John 4:28-30). All around us people are ready to hear God’s Word. We must not delay or be unwilling to speak to them about their spiritual need and about Jesus, who can meet that need.

(KJV) John 3:36

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

The Greek word translated “rejects” is apeitheo and means to “disregard [turn attention away from] and disobey” or “not submit to.” It carries the meaning of “apathy,” or lack of concern. This word is contrasted with “whoever believes” (Greek pisteuo), which speaks of eager acceptance, obedience and active submission. For John, unbelief means to “reject the Son,” or to disobey Him. Faith and obedience are words that can be used in place of each other because they both have to do with actively trusting and following Christ (compare Romans 1:8 with Romans 16:19; 1 Thessalonians 1:8; Romans 15:18). In relation to God, a person cannot truly have faith without obedience not obedience without faith. Spiritual salvation comes as a free gift to those who receive Christ (Romans 5:15-16; 6:23), but once accepted it does not leave us free to do as we please. Those who are truly saved will continue to submit to God (Romans 10:3), live by His standards and develop Christlike character traits (John 1:5).

(KJV) John 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

A basic characteristic of the wicked – those who reject Christ – is that they love darkness. This means that they take pleasure in immoral behaviors – theirs and that of others. They are not concerned about defying God’s standards of right and truth (Romans 1:18-32; Philippians 3:19; 2 Timothy 3:2-5; 2 Peter 2:12-15). Truly born-again persons are just the opposite (John 3:16). They love what is right and true and take pleasure in doing what pleases God (1 Corinthians 13:6). They hate wickedness (Hebrews 1:9) and feel a deep sense of sorrow when people reject God and defy His standards. They definitely do not take pleasure in the activities that encourage lust or the open display of ungodly behavior that is common in contemporary society (Psalms 97:10; Proverbs 8:13; Romans 12:9; 2 Peter 2:8; Revelation 2:6).

(KJV) John 3:16

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

This verse reveals the heart and purpose of God – the great truth that motivated His plan of salvation for humankind.

1. God’s love is deep and wide enough to embrace all persons, “the world” (1 Timothy 2:4).
2. God “gave” His Son (who also gave Himself willingly, John 10:17-18) as an offering to pay the price for the sin (offenses and rebellion against God) of all humanity. This act was on of complete, undeserved love. God did not have to provide this sacrifice for us; it was not something forced upon Him (Romans 8:32; 1 John 4:10).
3. To believe (Greek pisteuo) includes three main elements: (a) a faith and confidence that Jesus Christ is God’s San and the only Savior for spiritually lost humanity; (b) an act of surrender that turns over to Christ the leadership of one’s life and a attitude of submission that continues to obey Christ (John 15:1-10; 14:21; 15:4); (c) the trust and assurance that Christ is both able and willing to complete a person’s salvation by bringing him or her to live with Him forever in heaven. Keep in mind that to “believe” in the true Biblical sense is not just a mental exercise; it is an active trust that surrenders the leadership on one’s life to Christ (John 1:12). Real faith continues to show trust through selfless action, obedience and service (James 2:14-16).
4. “Perish” is a term in John 3:16 that can be easily overlooked in the context of the wonderful gift of grace God offers. It is the tragic consequence of rejecting God (not believing in Him, not surrendering our lives to His leadership, not accepting His gifts of forgiveness and eternal life). To parish does not point to physical death but to the dreadful reality of spiritual death (permanent separation from God) and eternal punishment (Matthew 10:28).
5. “Eternal life” is God’s gift to those who accept Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness for sins and become “born again” spiritually. It is not something that can be earned by good works or personal effort; it is a gift that must be received. “Eternal” is more than simply living forever; it is a quality of existence that begins even in this life – it is the opportunity to know God now (John 17:3). It is a life that frees us from the power of sin and Satan and allows us to live spiritually beyond earthly things in order to develop and eternal relationship with God (John 8:34-36; 17:3).

(KJV) John 13:35

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

True godly love (Greek agape) must be the mark of distinction for Christ’s followers (1 John 3:23; 4:7-21). This agape love is basically a self-giving and sacrificial love that seeks and promotes the good of others (1 John 4:9-10). Relationships among Christians must be characterized by this kind of love and devotion. If this type of love is missing, people outside the church will not get an accurate picture of Christ’s love and may see no reason to consider being part of His church. Christians must befriend each other through difficulties, be careful of each other’s feelings and reputations and put aside their own interests in order to promote each other’s welfare (1 Corinthians 13; Galatians 6:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 1 Peter 1:22; 2 Peter 1:7; 1 John 3:23).
