Why Was John’s Gospel Written? And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:30,31) Following the fall of man, creation has been subjected to futility and bondage (Gen 3:17-19; Rom 8:20-22). To reveal Himself more clearly, the Creator has given us His Word. • His Word is pure (Psalms 119:140; Prov 30:5). • God puts His Word above His Name! (Psalms 138:2). When speaking of creation, David uses Elohim. But of His personal revelation, His Word, 7 times does David uses the covenant name, YHWH. Creation is now under the curse: Revelation (and Redemption) is by His Word. “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (Jn 14:9). How do you discover God? By learning about Jesus.
