So, no one thinks I have abandoned my blog, I thought I would share with you one of the quandaries I have had in my study of Jon recently. I am currently preparing a stuffy of this book to be published online and as soon as the first installments are completed, I will post them here as well. It’s taking up most of my current study and writing time.
JOHN 5:28-29
28Do not be astonished at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29and will come out—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
I searched many books, sites and also picked the brains of some friends on this one. It basically says you will be judged on what you do, which is contradictory to everything else in John. The following verse one chapter later sums up the conclusions of my friends (No commentary attempted to explain John’s statement).
JOHN 6:28-29
28Then they said to him, ‘What must we do to perform the works of God?’ 29Jesus answered them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.’
Good = believing
Evil = NOT believing
If anyone has other thoughts, they would be greatly appreciated.
