The New Testament Gospel of John

The theme of John’s Gospel is that Jesus is the promised Messiah and Son of God. By believing in Jesus, people can have eternal life.

The Gospel of John teaches us who the "Person" of Jesus is. Our high priest manifested Himself into human form to reach all of humanity through God's love for His created beings. And through perfect obedience to His father in heaven, Jesus walked the perfect sinless life here while on earth and went to the cross to make atonement for our sins to restore us back into a relationship with God. John shows us the humanity of our Creator through the person of Jesus, God's son, the second person of the Trinity.

The Incarnate Word:

In the prologue John presents Jesus as the eternal, preexistent, now incarnate Word and as the one-of-a-kind Son of the Father who is himself God. God’s revelation and redemption in and through Jesus are shown to form the culmination of the history of salvation, which previously included God’s giving of the law through Moses, his dwelling among his people in the tabernacle and the temple, and the sending of the forerunner, John the Baptist.
