MY FATHER’S WILL / JOHN 6:40

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:40

 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

MY FATHER’S WILL / JOHN 6:40

God’s will is His desires and plans based on His character and purposes. Therefore, it is important to understand the relationship of God’s will to human responsibility. 

  1. It is not God’s will that any believer should turn from a commitment to Him and fall “away from grace” (Galatians 5:4), separating himself or herself from God. For that matter, it is not God’s will that any individual should perish (2 Peter 3:9) or fail to accept the truth that can save them from spiritual death (1 Timothy 2:4). 
  2. However, there is a great difference between God’s perfect will and His permissive will – what He desires and what He allows because of our choices. He does not take away or deny the human responsibility to repent and trust Christ, even if it means that so many people will reject Him and miss His perfect will for their lives (Luke 19:41).
  3. God’s plan and desire to raise His people up at the last day (to bring their bodies to life in a way that they will live forever with Christ) does not release us from the responsibility of obeying His Word and following Him now (John 10:27; 14:21). For those who continue to obey and follow Him, death cannot destroy the life that Christ gives.

I WILL NEVER DRIVE AWAY / JOHN 6:37

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:37

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

I WILL NEVER DRIVE AWAY / JOHN 6:37

No matter who you are, where you have been or what you have experienced in life, Christ will accept you if you come to Him in humility. Jesus promises to welcome all who come to Him in true repentance and faith (those who trust Him enough to admit and turn from their own sinful way and then entrust the leadership of their lives to Him). Those who come to Jesus do not come in their own power; rather, they come in response to the grace God has given to them (John 6:44).

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE / JOHN 6:35

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:35

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE / JOHN 6:35

This is the first of the seven “I am” statements of Jesus recorded in John’s Gospel, each one focusing on an important aspect of Jesus’ personal ministry. This statement tells us that Christ is the one who sustains and nourishes our spiritual life (John 6:53). The other (I am) statements are: “the light of the world” (John 8:12), “the gate” (John 10:9), “the good shepherd” (John 10:11, 14), “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25), “the true vine” (John 15:1, 5),

MIRACLES / JOHN 6:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:1-2

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

MIRACLES / JOHN 6:1-2

  1. What are miracles? (a) They are works of supernatural origin and power (Greek dunamis; Acts 8:13; 19:11). (b) They function as a sign or mark (Greek semeion) of authority from God (John 2:11; Luke 23:8-11; Acts 4:16, 30, 33). The central and greatest miracle of the New Testament is the resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15).
  2. Miracles serve at least three purposes in God’s kingdom. (a) They honor Jesus Christ, verifying the truth of His message and proving His identity as God’s Son and our Savior (John 2:23; 5:1-21; 10:25; 11:42). (b) They express Christ’s compassionate love (Mark 8:2; Luke 7:12-15; Acts 10:38). (c)They signify the opportunity for salvation (Matthew 11:2), the coming of God’s kingdom and God’s power over and invasion into Satan’s kingdom.
  3. God’s Word teaches that miracles are to continue through His followers in the church. (a) Jesus sent out His followers to preach and perform miracles (Matthew 10:7-8; Mark 3:14; Mark 3:15; Luke 9:1-2). (b) Jesus declared that those who believed in Him through the preaching of His Word were to do the works that He did and would do even greater things (John 14:12; Mark 16:15-20). (c)The book of Acts records many miracles done in and through the lives of His followers (Acts 3:1; 5:12; 6:8; 8:6; 9:32; 15:12; 20:7).In other places in the New Testament, these are called “signs” that confirm the truth of Christ’s message (Acts 4:29-30; 14:3; Romans 15:18-19; 2 Corinthians 12:12; Hebrews 2:3-4). (d) The Holy Spirit wants to continue showing these signs in and through the church today (1 Corinthians 12:8-12, 28; James 5:14-15). 
  4. The New Testament also teaches that supernatural signs and wonders will be performed by the power of Satan trough false teachers and preachers, especially by the antichrist and his false prophet.

DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE WROTE / JOHN 5:47

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:47

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE WROTE / JOHN 5:47

This passage is important in recognizing Jesus’ view of the Old Testament. He indeed believed that Moses wrote the Pentateuch (Moses recorded God’s activities, Israel’s history and God’s law in the first five books of the Old Testament). A lesson from this statement that we still need today is this: if one does not believe in the God-given, Holy Spirit-directed inspiration and truthfulness of the Old Testament writings, he or she will not believe or submit to the authority of Jesus’ words and the New Testament writings. All of God’s written Word is a testimony that points to Christ and the purposes He would fulfill (Acts 24:14).

ACCEPT PRAISE FROM ONE ANOTHER / JOHN 5:44

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:44

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

ACCEPT PRAISE FROM ONE ANOTHER / JOHN 5:44

Those who are truly devoted to Christ and dependent on Him will not be motivated by the love of praise or esteem from other people. They will not be slaves to others’ opinions. Their goal will be to please God and fulfill His purposes for their lives. Those who get into a bad habit of depending on praise from others are really setting themselves up as idols (any object or anyone that is worshiped as a god). But only God deserves our praise. Desiring honor from other humans more than desiring honor from God is to reject Christ’s message and make genuine faith impossible (Romans 2:29).

YOU DILIGENTLY STUDY / JOHN 5:39-40

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:39-40

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

YOU DILIGENTLY STUDY / JOHN 5:39-40

Though many of the Jews knew what God’s Word in the Old Testament said, they did not understand what it really meant (John 5:38). The Jewish leaders even studied the Scriptures in great detail, and yet they did not understand or accept the One of whom the Word spoke. This shows us that simply knowing what God’s Word says, or even believing and following it to a degree, is not enough to save us spiritually. We must accept Christ personally and devote our lives to following Him. This includes living by the principles and purposes revealed in His Word.

THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD – RISE TO LIVE – THOSE WHO HAVE DONE EVIL / JOHN 5:29

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:29

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD – RISE TO LIVE – THOSE WHO HAVE DONE EVIL / JOHN 5:29

THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD

According to God’s Word, judgment is based on actions and conduct. That is because one’s actions over time represent his or her true beliefs, attitudes and inner spiritual condition. This means that we will be judged not by our claims to believe or have faith in Christ, but by how we have lived in response to Christ and our faith in Him (Matthew 12:36-37: 16:27; Romans 2:6-10; 14:12; 1 Corinthians 3:13-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 6:8; Colossians 3:25; Revelation 2:23; Revelation 20:11-13; Revelation 22:12). This does not mean that our good works are what save us, but our actions will show our faith and be a natural outflow of our relationship with Jesus (Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:14; 3:8-9) – or condemned by refusing to trust and surrender to Christ – but we will be judged and rewarded according to our actions (Ephesians 6:8; 1 Peter 1:17; Revelation 20:11-13).

RISE TO LIVE

The New Testament does not teach that there is a single, simultaneous (occuring at the same time) resurrection for all the dead. 

  1. It speaks of a resurrection of many “holy people” occurring immediately after Jesus’ resurrection (Matthew 27:52-53), of a resurrection occurring at the time of the rupture or “catching up” of the church by Christ (1 Corinthians 15:51-52), of a resurrection occurring one thousand years after the “first resurrection” of Revelation 20:6 (after the millennial reign of Christ on earth, Revelation 20:4).
  2. It is possible that “the first resurrection” includes the resurrection of all Christ’s people following His return to earth to defeat the forces of the antichrist and before He begins His thousand-year reign on earth (Revelation 20:4-6). In this case, the resurrection of Revelation 20:4-6 would complete the first resurrection.

THOSE WHO HAVE DONE EVIL

Immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, corruption, deceit and other sinful behaviors have no place in the lives of Christ’s followers (Colossians 3:5). People are defying the teachings of Christ and promoting deception if they teach that those who “believe” in Christ will still receive eternal life even though they live outside the boundaries set in God’s Word. This belief leads to a false sense of “eternal security” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21: Ephesians 5:5; Ephesians 5:6). While nothing else can remove us from God’s love or take us out of His hands (John 10:28; Romans 8:31-35), we can remove ourselves from eternal life and His care by choosing to disobey and defy His Word. We must pay attention to the words of Jesus: “those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.”

HEARS … BELIEVES – WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED / JOHN 5:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:24

 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.

HEARS … BELIEVES – WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED / JOHN 5:24

HEARS … BELIEVES

Jesus describes those who have eternal life (who have a personal relationship with God and will live with Him forever) and who will not be condemned as “whoever hears … and believers.” The verbs “hears” Greek akouon, from akouo) and “believes” (Greek pisteouoon, from pisteuoo) are present participles, which show ongoing action (“whoever is, or keeps on, hearing and believing”). This means that the “hearing” and “believing” are not acts of a single moment, but actions that must continue (John 1:12). To “hear” in Biblical terms suggests listening and responding; it means putting into practice what you learn. Christ affirms that having eternal life is conditional on a living and growing faith rather than on a momentary decision at some point in the past (John 1:12; John 4:14).

WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED

 “Condemned” (Greak krisis) is used in the sense of being headed for eternal spiritual death. Christ’s followers will not be condemned with the rest of the world (1 Corinthians 11:32). However, they will still be held accountable for their actions and judged according to their faithfulness with the opportunities and resources God gave them while on earth.

MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD / JOHN 5:18-24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:18-24

MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD / JOHN 5:18-24

Jesus makes several astounding claims here:

  1. God is His Father in a unique way.
  2. He maintains unity, communication and authority with God (John 5:19-20).
  3. He has the power to give life and raise the dead (John 5:21).
  4. He has the right to judge all people (John 5:22).
  5. He has the equal right to divine honor (the kind of respect only God deserves, John 5:23).
  6. He has the power to give eternal life (John 5:24).

But with all of this, notice how Jesus describes His complete dependence on His Father (John 5:19; 8:28). If Jesus, who was Himself God, had to depend on the Father, how much more do we need to rely on Him and spend time with Him – through prayer and God’s Word – so we can find guidance and spiritual strength.
