Discuss John 14 Page 56

If we sin, we are not Christ's, we are the devil's. Those who love the Lord, will keep His commandments. ( John 14:15)We are to walk in the newness of life, which means our old ways - the life of sin and iniquity, are put to death by Jesus's death. We are now resurrected and living a Holy Ghost filled life of righteousness made possible by the death and resurrection of Christ. Anybody who still sins and says they are Christ's is deceived and still bound by the devil. Now the Word of God is powerful...mighty...sharper than a two-edged sword..it cuts to the marrow. Don't be deceived. There is no way to continue in sin and truly have Jesus.

God is able to do all things.

i am going through a sad and disturbing period in my life and this verse is helping me get through it...i just keep repeating: "let not your heart be troubled...neither let it be afraid"...thanx so much!

@Akanimoh Well by that logic your'e also implying that the holy spirit is a male. I mean God has angels, that he uses but why is this holy spirit any different from angels? The holy spirit it God's active force.

Its plain and simple, loving jesus is keeping his commands. You have to believe in him coz hes the light,the way and the only way to salvation. Keep his commands and he will send you a helper the holy spirit.

John Chapter 14 verses 2,3 and 18 I find Jesus here in these verses promises us, all the believers and the non believers alike should expect if we do the works what Jesus is guiding us to do. In verse 6 he is also telling us nobody will go to the father but by through him. So the teaching here and the way it should be understood is CARRY YOUR OWN CROSS.

In my humble opinion the greater works "we" will do that Yeshua is talking about is when "we" the true house of Israel reunite as one. Since Yeshua walked this earth Christian have forgot the 7 feasts to the Lord and the 7th day Sabbath while the Jews have denied the Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah. There will come a day when these 2 house's reunite. When Christian will observe the feast and the Jews will accept Jesus. This is the story of the prodigal son. These are the greater works we will do. This is the next and last reformation before His return and it is happening now. Come be part of it in Yeshua's name I pray.

To Dianes comment on verse 14,Jehovah a latin was translated 1100-1200 CE from YHWH the unspoken name of God in old testament times.Durring the 3rd century BCE it was replaced with Adonai meaning my Lord.So it wasn't King James but the ancient Hebrew scribes.

John 1: 18 says" No man has seen God at any time".Many people saw Jesus. John 20:31 says "These have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God". Jesus was created directly by God having quality similar to those of his father. Psalms 83:18 says Jehovah is the most high. found in KJV New World Translation. Many other translations of the Bible have taken Jehovah out and replaced it with LORD.

HE says it in plain text for US to see .. I will NOT leave you comfortless, I will come unto you .. the Comforter/HOLY GHOST/Spirit of GOD that will bring back all things that you already KNEW as WE are PRE-destined beings, BUT are give an opportunity to make our own choice to accept or reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ and this is known: Free-Agency.

I KNOW ..JESUS was trying to reveal through PARABLES unto them that HE is the LIVING GOD ..and that HE has come in the FATHER'S NAME: JESUS ..Son of GOD: JESUS .. and the Comforter or HOLY GHOST that the FATHER shall send in my name: JESUS .. and this is the reason for ACTS 4:12 being in EVERY single Denominational Bible Version

Heaven & Hell do exist.

You wont believe it now but you will see it when you die.

Talk about hell- think about the worst,terrible, threatening experiences youve come across in life, and i mean the very worst of the worst, well hell will give you much worse experience than ever, and it will be going on for ever.

Then talk about heaven - think about the best of the best experience youve ever come across in life.
Bible said that the life out there has no comparison here on earth. You think about wealth, its there, you think about joy,its there for ever. But if you want to go there, there is no other way, but thru JESUS CHRIST alone.

He will be king in that New City, So therefore as a king of any country, he's got the authority of whom to be citizen and whom are not to be.
You wont do your search in the next life but now. As long as you have the breath on your nose, do it.
the best thing to know is that he is right there with you and he is just waiting for you to ask him.
All you got to do is pray. Dont go to a priest first coz he jst a man, or to the bible first coz he already said that the bible tells him, but to him fisrt. He is right with you. God bless you.

I really think you people who claim to believe should go do some good in the world. Go raise someone from the grave, go heal the million of people with cancer, go do any thing but sit around and judge other people. If you really believe the bible do some thing beside making up reasons why you can't do what the bible clearly states a believer can do.

James 5:14-15 "Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the Church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. And if they have committed sins, these will be forgiven."

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

God is good! We must believe and obey his word.

This is amazing onley jesus can help but u must believe wht u ask jesus and the father will give but where must ask jesus

For me the personal assurance spoken of by Jesus Himself in John 14 is the essence of the new life promise to all who believe in him and obey. May His mercy and grace abide with us always.

John 14:15 If ye love me keep my commandments... God wants us to keep His commandments... see matt 5:17

Vicky's John Chapter 14 comment about verse 2 on 10/13/2013, 8:35am...WHAT AM I MISSING? I have always believed this was talking to us as believers giving us comfort and assurance that He is preparing a place for us in His heavenly realm. From where do you get this interpretation, or idea that this is NOT the Church to whom He speaks? Clarify my confusion.

We are the temple of the living GOD. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church and we are the body. The Head and the body are one; therefore we are in CHRIST and CHRIST is in us.

i believe that jesus was clarifying a point that his role was to speak while the father in him carried out the works.for of himself he could do nothing

Jesus is Lord he is good for me and my Family my beneath factors my neighbour Enemies I bless God for what he has done for us. THANK U JESUS

I want to know more

Jesus said, ''He's the way'' which say Jesus Christ is the only available means made by God by which one could see Him. BY ACCEPTHNG JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR, AND HIS RULES.

I am thankful to have a Pastor who has devoted the last 40 years of his life in studying and rightly dividing the word of God. In John14:2 it is important to rightly divide the word. Jesus is talking to his disciples here. There are no Christians here. He is talking about the kingdom of Heaven which is a literal visible place. God is telling the nation of Israel no matter what their going through He is preparing a place for them. It is important to understand who is being addressed in a passage and here the church is not being addressed. Hebrews11:16 also tells us he is preparing the city for Israel.This is not mansions for us, the church, to live in.

Juan, don't be confused. Jesus had many titles in the Bible and they all applied! Here are a few more and where to find them.

Chief Cornerstone: ( Ephesians 2:20)
Firstborn over all creation: ( Colossians 1:15)

Savior: ( Matthew 1:21; Luke 2:11)
True Vine: ( John 15:1)
Way, Truth, Life: ( John 14:6)

It means there is a path of death. This confirmed prob 14:12and prob16:25 which says there is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof is the way of death. Path means road or way. And Jesus says in John 14:6 iam the way the truth and the life. It siimply means the path of life referred to in Ps 16:11 is Jesus the savior. This had been made know right from John 10:10 where Jesus catigorically declared that while the thief came to kill, steal and distroy, He has come to give life in abundance. Sir it is time to embrace life fully as we embrace Jesus with the whole of our heart

I like that, Gerald. I never looked at it that way before but now I see it.

(This is my response to Dom Di Stroia's comment 8/12/2013 at 4:47pm on Acts Chapter 9):

Our Lord Jesus Christ was saying upon "THIS ROCK" I will build "MY CHURCH" ( Matthew 16:18). That spiritual "ROCK" was "CHRIST" ( 1 Corinthians 10:4). Therefore, HE meant to say upon "MYSELF" I will build "MY CHURCH". That Church which He built is none other but the "HOUSE of GOD", which is the "CHURCH of the LIVING GOD", the "PILLAR and GROUND of the TRUTH" ( 1Timothy 3:15). That "TRUTH" is our "LORD JESUS CHRIST" ( John 14:6). That "TRUTH" is the "WORD" of GOD ( John 17:17). That "WORD" was "MADE FLESH" ( John 1:14). But "BEFORE" the "WORD" was "MADE FLESH" HE "was" "GOD" ( John 1:1). If you understand the greatness of the "MYSTERY" of His "GODLINESS" ( 1Timothy 3:16) therefore there is no doubt that you belong to the "CHURCH" that "JESUS CHRIST" built upon "HIMSELF" because you also believe the "TRUTH". It was written in In Colossians 3:1-2, "If ye then be "RISEN" with "CHRIST", seek those things which are "ABOVE", where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things "ABOVE", not on things on the earth.

We all have a place go brethen...
Wide & narrow gate...
Heaven or Hell
Matthew 7:13
Let watch a pray....

what a Glorious day ahead! I thank the Almighty for Giving me back the Joy of my Salvation! i saw my self toiling with sin,bt thank God,am back on track.Praise the Lord!
