The Book Of John

Send us a text

Well I decided to read the book of Ephesians, James, Colossians, 1st & 2nd Thessalonians, 1st & 2nd Peter, 1st & 2nd Timothy, the books of 1st, 2nd, & 3rd John, &  Titus, Philemon, And Jude. Like 1st, 2nd, & 3rd John they are in a single message, the book of Galatians, Philippians, 1st and 2nd Corinthians, Hebrews, Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

I have not added any commentary or narrative nor any chapter or verse references. Because they have been liked by quite a few listeners I thought I would try to do more of them with the remaining New Testament books of the bible. This way you have access to the entire New Testament on my Podcast. 

I do think it is a good idea because you can get the entire book in just a few minutes. Front to back without interruption. Now I say that but just reading the bible is not sufficient for learning, so God gave us teachers as well. Your spirit, new man, inner man, the Holy Spirit, and your heart depend on your getting the word down inside of you. If your Christianity is a dead work, it is because of a lack of bible reading time as well as a lack of bible doing time.    

So this message is not about teaching by breaking down the Book Of John, but about allowing you to seek the nuggets for yourself. This message my friends is about listening. Listen to the words, to the sentences, hear in your very spirit what marvelous things are being said. 

Now this message will be longer than you might be used to. The goal and purpose of recording each book in its entirety is to give you the uninterrupted, not even by chapter and verses, story. 

Now a little chit-chat about the book of John. This is the fourth of four gospels, although some believe that the book of Acts could also be considered a gospel. Neither weether, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that reading and knowing the gospels alone will not lead you to being a solid Christian. Read or listen to, and do, is the only method which works. I say this as kindly as possible, do not leave it up to your church to equip you to be the Christian you need to be. We are or were when we were unsaved, prone to live life blaming others for our station in life. We liked to hold others accountable for making sure we had everything we desired. Ha, and even as saved beings we can still fall into that error. 

In a new marriage no one should have to encourage you to spend time with your new husband or wife, if so then you shouldn’t marry or won’t be married long. Same, same with Jesus. No one should have to tell you to spend time with your new Spiritual Groom (Ephesians 5:25-27, Revelation 19:7-9). If anyone has to tell you to do so, then you are probably not ready to commit to Him and should but beg to be ready soon. im 

In addition, the book of John is distinct from the other similar gospels in that he had a unique relationship to God. He had revelation about God that the others didn’t have. You will also see that he is the same one who wrote the book of Revelation. He is also the only one of the original Apostles that wasn’t murdered, although there was attempts to do so such as boiling him in a vat of oil. 

Hosea 6:3 – “…Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord…

”1st Tim 5:17 - 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

2nd Tim 2:15 - Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
