The Book of John is often recommended for new believers or to secure your faith. This book describes who Jesus is. You must know who He is before you can believe in Him. It describes His deity, the I AM's. As He said to Moses, "Tell them I AM sent you."And someone,who struggled with faith?
That was an introduction to all the I am's in John. "I am the Light"; "I am the Good Shepard"; "I am the Bread of Life"; "I am from above"; "before Abraham was, I AM"; "I am the Resurrection and the Life"; "I am the vine, you are the branches"; "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life ..."
You must realize that to take away the sins of the world you must be God, a mere man or angel could not. You must be all-knowing, all-powerful and omnipresent! Think of it know billions of people, all their sins, past, present and future in addition to all who have ever lived as well -- it requires God to do that. In John, He said I and the Father are ONE ... if you've seen Me, you've seen the Father and so He is the exact expression in the fullness of Glory, Grace, Truth, Power that the Father is. He relinquished and put aside all that temporarily to empty Himself into a baby, grow into a man and live among us. God became flesh and dwelt among us!
The more you know Him, the more your faith will grow. Faith comes by the WORD. A high degree of intelligence is not the way to God, otherwise, Stephen Hawking would know Him. You need to humble yourself and come to Him as a child and remove the preconceived garbage that the world has taught you.
