Synopsis

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV) John 14:6 - Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (NIV) What does it mean to believe? What does eternal life mean? What does it mean to love others as God intended? These two passages give us a message of hope, not only for post-mundane eternity but for right here and now — today! Unfortunately, these two passages have been used as justification for hatred and fearmongering by supposed Christian groups. Fortunately, they are getting it wrong. Hatred, distrust, public shaming, and finger pointing is not in God’s plan for us. This book is a careful examination of the passages, their original Koine Greek, and the context in which they are presented. The underlying message of love and acceptance is explored and given life. Learn what God wants us to love through a personal and deep understanding of the words of Jesus.
