- John wrote his gospel to convince people that Jesus is the Messiah, but his gospel also strengthens the faith of those who already know that Jesus is the Messiah. We read and study John—and the rest of the Bible—all the days of our lives so that we will be kept in the faith and become more confident that we have found the very truth of God.

John was most certainly a Jew and he identifies himself in this gospel as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (13:23). John and his elder brother James (Acts 12:2) were known as the sons of Zebedee” (Matt 10:2-4) but were also referred to as the “Sons of Thunder” (Mark 3:17) and so there is little doubt that this was the disciple John that is mentioned...
John was written to the church, both then and now, but I also believe it was written for unbelievers as well because the Gospel of John focuses more on the divinity of Jesus Christ than any of the other gospels. It is much different than the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. These gospels are closely related in material and their narrati...
If this gospel had a specific purpose statement it would be “that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (20:31). The word “believe” appears over 100 times and ties in belief with having eternal life. The most famous or at least the most familiar verse in all the Bible may be J...
The gospel of Johnis my favorite because it elevates the divinity of Jesus Christ and that He is God that humbled Himself and condescended to our level. He was both human and divine…both Man and God.

Mar 1, 2016 · The Purpose of the Gospel of John. Introduction. O f the four gospels, John’s gospel presents Jesus as God most forcefully.

Feb 17, 2013 · Expository study of John: The Gospel of John is a selective, symbolic, eyewitness account of the person and ministry of Jesus, written so that you may believe in Him as the Christ, the Son of God, and thus have life in His name.
Purpose and Audience. John specifically states his purpose in 20:31, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Therefore the purpose of John's Gospel is to "confirm and secure Christians in the faith." [6] .
