Believing in Jesus profoundly shaped Pope John Paul II's life and leadership. His faith provided a foundation for his moral convictions and dedication to human dignity, influencing his efforts in promoting peace, interfaith dialogue, and combating oppression. It also guided his pastoral approach, emphasizing love, forgiveness, and hope, which resonated deeply with people around the world. Ultimately, his belief in Jesus inspired him to be a transformative figure in the Catholic Church and beyond.
John 20:30, 31 - And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. [NKJV]
They wrote that we might believe in Jesus; as John said in the end of his gospel. 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 20.31)
John never says "believe in the Gospel of John". John says that his gospel was written: "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name". .....................John20:31
John 19:7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God." John 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
Mary, Paul and John the Baptist, all personally knew Jesus Christ.
John himself explained that the reason was "that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name."John 20 (v.26) And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be unto you." (v.27) Then saith he to Thomas, "Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing". (v.28) And Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord and my God". (v.29) Jesus saith unto him, "Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." (v.30) And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: John 20 (v.31) 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 was a cousin of Jesus.
The bible does not say why, but one thing is clear from the bible, John and Jesus were cousins. As Mary and Johns mother Elizabeth were cousins.
john is much older than jesus. john is the baptizer while jesus is the savior
Jesus and John the Baptist were cousins, and John was a prophet who baptized Jesus. John recognized Jesus as the Messiah and played a significant role in preparing the way for Jesus' ministry.
Yes, John was a disciple of Jesus.
No, John the Baptist was not Jesus' brother. John the Baptist was a cousin of Jesus, as his mother Elizabeth was a relative of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
