THE SUPPER IN JOHN CHAPTERS 13 TO 17
Both the promise of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17, John 14:26, John 15:26-27, John 16:7-14) as well as God's exclusive role in choosing man (John 15:16) occur in the self-same supper recorded in John chapters 13 - 17.
Peter [said] to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself." (Acts 2:38-39)
LORD JESUS' PRAYER FOR US BELIEVERS
Part of the prayer of Lord Jesus during the supper is thus "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word" (John 17:20).
Jesus said "through their word" (John 17:20) which means that "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) are words that the Apostle John recorded. John recorded the Word of God, and the Word of God says "for those also who believe in Me through their word" (John 17:20), and He preceded these words with "I do not ask on behalf of these alone" (John 17:20), so the Word of God during the supper is not just for the people in the room, but the Word of God during the supper is for all believers in all time.
In another part of the prayer, Jesus, Lord and God (John 20:28), says "I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours" (John 17:9).
Jesus said "I do not ask on behalf of the world" (John 17:9), so Jesus uses "the world" to mean different things. Such a difference exists in His use of "the world" in (John 17:9) compared to His use of "the world" in (John 3:16).
Thus, belief in Jesus through the Apostle John's words includes the Lord Jesus' words in John 15:16 and John 15:19 which are all part of the "through" John's "word" (John 17:20) which Jesus referred to in His prayer.
JOHN'S WRITINGS FOR US BELIEVERS
The Apostle John wrote "these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31).
Among the writings of John includes the statements of Jesus "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) and "I chose you out of the world" (John 15:19). These sayings of Jesus Christ, Lord and God (John 20:28), are part and parcel of the exclusive attribute of Jesus with respect to choice in the salvation of all His sheep in all time.
John's writings are for us believers to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing we have life in His Name; therefore, belief in Jesus about whom John wrote includes the exclusive centrality of choice reserved to Jesus by Jesus through Jesus in the salvation of all His sheep in all time.
JESUS COMMANDS US BELIEVERS TO GO AND TEACH AND PROCLAIM
The Apostle Matthew recorded the command of Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John 1:14), for all His sheep (John 10:27-30) with His words of "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20) and Mark recorded "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to all creation" (Mark 16:15). This teaching, this proclamation includes the exclusive role of God choosing man not man choosing God (John 15:16, John 15:19) for these words are a statement of the sovereignty of God according to Jesus Christ, Lord and God (John
20:28).
One of the teachings, one of the commands of Jesus is for we sheep of His to be entirely dependent on Jesus alone for salvation! We are to go and teach and proclaim this Truth (John 14:6).
THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE
Based on the above stated facts, as an independent first aveneue, the Apostles were not the only disciples in the supper room, so the Word of God, Lord Jesus "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) as well as "I chose you out of the world" (John 15:19) is binding upon all believers in all time.
As an independent second aveneue, just as the promise of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17) is binding upon all believers in all time also binding are the Word of God, Lord Jesus "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) as well as "I chose you out of the world" (John 15:19).
Furthermore, as an independent third aveneue, since Lord Jesus said "through their word" (John 17:20) with "their word" including John's messages a.k.a. the Book of John a.k.a. the Good Message of John a.k.a. the Gospel of John a.k.a. the supper recorded in John chapters thirteen to seventeen a.k.a. the word of John, this also makes "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) as well as "I chose you out of the world" (John 15:19) binding on all believers in all time.
Moreover, John's writings as an independent fourth aveneue express Jesus' inherent quality of choice reserved to Jesus alone in Jesus by Jesus through Jesus in the salvation of all His sheep in all time (John 4:6-42 [Living Water], John 6:35-40 [Bread of Life], John 7:37-39 [Living Water], John 15:13-19 [die for friends and God chooses exclusively], John 6:29 [God defines faith/belief in we believers as the work of God], John 3:21 [God wrings fruit in we believers], John 3:3-8 [God births we believers], John 6:44 [God draws the people of God and we people of God come to God], John 12:32 [God draws the people of God], John 20:28 [Jesus is God]).
Additionally, Lord Jesus' command for we believers to go and teach and proclaim as an independent fifth aveneue includes revealing the salvation of the Lord is of and by and through the Lord Jesus Christ exclusively (John 15:13-19, Matthew 19:25-26, and Exodus 14:13-18 as instruction from the Old Testament).
