That You May Believe | The Gospel of John || John tells us towards the end of his gospel that he wrote it ‘so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name’ (John 20:31). In the prologue John reveals the identity of Christ. He presents Jesus as the eternal and incarnate Word, who is both the Son of the Father, and is Himself God. And though there are those who reject Him, those who receive Him are made children of God.
