SALVATION IS FREE TO ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE IN JESUS!

How important is faith?  It is the only way we have that can save us.  The Gospel of John uses the words "believe," "believeth," and "believed," eighty-five times!  Here are just a few of them, and pay special attention to how John ends his Gospel (Jn. 20:31 below)!

John 1:12-13 - "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on His name:  which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

John 2:22 - "When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they BELIEVED the Scripture, and the Word which Jesus had said."

John 3:14-18, 36 - "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  that whosoever BELIEVETH in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.  He that BELIEVETH on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - He that BELIEVETH on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

John 5:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and BELIEVETH on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

John 6:29, 40, 69 - "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on Him Whom He hath sent. - And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. - And we BELIEVE and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."

John 9:35-38 - "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou BELIEVE on the Son of God?  He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might BELIEVE on Him?  And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.  And he said, Lord, I BELIEVE.  And he worshipped Him."

John 11:25 - "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that BELIEVETH in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

John 20:31 - "But these are written,
that ye might BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that BELIEVING ye might have life through His name."
