JOHN: THE GOSPEL OF BELIEF - The difference in John’s gospel in the hearing of the voice from heaven is John’s emphasis on the Father verifying not just the identity of the Son, but the atoning work of the Son. It is clearly Father God’s intention that redemption and spiritual renewal are to be found exclusively in the Son, the Lamb of God. So the church has the ongoing message to proclaim of the Son as the only forgiver of the world’s sin and the only bestower of the Holy Spirit.
