John 20:31
The Gospel of John was written so that we would believe that Jesus is the Christ [the Messiah], the Son of God; and that believing we could have life in his name.
Isaiah 42:1-3 Jesus fulfilled this prophecy.
John 5:30-57 The testimony that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God
Jesus’ testimony was not simply his own. There was more of a witness than just one man’s words. Nu 35:30; De 17:6; 19:15; Mt 18:16; Jo 8:13-18; 2 Co 13:1; 1 Ti 5:19

– The testimony from Scripture: Jo 5:39-47; Lk 16:19-31; 18:31-33; 24:25-27, 44-45
The resurrection and the holy spirit also give testimony to Jesus
