1 John 4:
9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

1 John 5:
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know
that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Before The Cross

Mark 2:17
When Jesus heard it, He said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician,

but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

To preach the Kingdom of God
Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

Those who receive have mysteries revealed to them

Mark 4:11
And He said to them, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God;

but to those who are outside, all things come in parables.

He clearly established His Identity and Purpose to Israel

John 20:
30
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;
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.

Authority over Satan and His Works

Acts 10:38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.


At The Cross: To Destroy the works of Satan: Sin and Death

1 John 3:8
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

To Glorify the Son of Man and His Father’s Name
John 12:

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour?

But for this purpose I came for this hour.
28 Father, glorify Your name.

John 13:
31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.

To be a propitiation for all sin

1 John 2:2
And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

While others are referred to as sons of God, Christ Jesus is the ‘only-begotten’,
meaning that the Lord exists of the same Spirit.

John 1:

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father,
He has declared Him.


This is critical for the Lord to make this statement:

John 14:
30
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment,

so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

That we may access eternal life in this Age in Christ

1 John 5:

18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself,
and the wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding,
that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God and eternal life.


The Good News of the Only Begotten Son and His Kingdom is not a “die and go to heaven” message,
it is living this life in righteousness and holiness before Him all the days of our lives in His service.
Luke 1:74 & 75

Life in Christ is the apostolic doctrine of conforming to the image of the Son in Spirit and Truth

Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

This is established In Christ, by the fellowship of the Body of Christ, under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.

1 John 1:

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—
2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life
which was with the Father and was manifested to us—
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us;
and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

The declared Kingdom of God IS eternal life in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

John 15:11
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

John 16:24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.


By this we may bear much fruit, and glory to His Name

John 15:

7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.


In this we are assured of our entrance into the everlasting Kingdom,
by the expression of our desires unto God, and the manifestation
of the work of faith as the evidence of things not seen.

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
