They said to Jesus, “What shall we do to perform the works of God?”
Jesus answered, “This is God’s work, to believe in the Onewhom the
Father sent.” (John 6 : 28 , 29 )
Truly I say to you, those who believe in mehave eternal life. (John 6 : 47 )
Jesus cried out, saying, “If any are thirsty, they must come to me and
drink. If any believe in me,rivers of living water will flow out of their
bellies.” (John 7 : 37 , 38 )
Unless you have believedthat I am [he], you will die in your sins.
(John 8 : 24 )
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me,
even if they die they will live. And everyone who lives and believes in
mewill never die.” (John 11 : 25 , 26 )
Jesus said, “I have come into the world as a light so that all who believe
in mewill not remain in darkness.” (John 12 : 46 ; 8 : 12 )
As long as you have the light, believe in the lightso that you may be
children of the light. (John 12 : 36 )People will live in the Lord and the Lord in them (John 14 : 20 ; 15 : 1 – 5 ;
17 : 23 ), a situation that is brought about by faith.
To both Jews and Greeks Paul proclaimed repentance before God and
belief in our Lord Jesus Christ.(Acts 20 : 21 )
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me. (John 14 : 6 )
[ 3 ] Those who believe in the Son believe in the Father, since as we
said above, the Father is in the Son like a soul in a body. The following
passages make this clear:
If you had known me you would have known my Father also. (John
8 : 19 ; 14 : 7 )
Those who see me see the One who sent me. (John 12 : 45 )
Those who receive me receive the One who sent me. (John 13 : 20 )This is because no one can see the Father and live (Exodus 33 : 20 ), which
is why the Lord says,
No one has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, who is close to the
Father’s heart, has made him visible. (John 1 : 18 )§107 the lord the redeemer & redemption 143
