This document provides excerpts from the Bible discussing Jesus Christ. It summarizes that Jesus, the Word, existed with God from the beginning and all things were created through him. It describes how Jesus came to Earth as the light and salvation for humanity. While the world did not receive him, all who believe in him become children of God. The document emphasizes that Jesus loved the world so much that he came to save it, and that believers will have eternal life through faith in him.

1. { Jesus answered, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” – John 14:6 }

6. { Jesus answered, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” – John 14:6 }

7. 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without
him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of
men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, but the
darkness has not understood it.

8. 6 There came a man who was sent from God; his
name was John.
7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that
light, so that through him all men might
believe.
8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a
witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to every man
was coming into the world.

9. 10 He was in the world, and though the world
was made through him, the world did not
recognize him.
11 He came to that which was his own, but his
own did not receive him.
12 Yet to all who received him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God –
13 Children born not of natural descent, nor of
human decision or a husband‟s will, but born
of God.

10. 14 The Word became flesh and made his
dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,
the glory of the One and Only who came from
the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John testifies concerning him. He cries out,
saying, “This was he of whom I said, „He who
comes after me has surpassed me because he
was before me.‟”
16 From the fullness of his grace, we have all
received one blessing after another.

11. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One
and Only, who is at the Father‟s side, has
made him known.

12. Take a look at John 1:1,2 -–
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Jesus Christ is the Word; and he is God, sent to
Earth in the flesh. Before he even entered the frailty of
a human body, Jesus Christ was seated at the right
hand of his Father, in Heaven: before the creation of
the world.

13. John 3:16 - 21
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world
through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but
whoever does not believe stands condemned
already because he has not believed in the name
of God‟s one and only Son.

14. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the
world, but men loved darkness instead of light
because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and
will not come into the light for fear that his
deeds will be exposed.
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the
light, so that it may be seen plainly that what
he has done has been done through God.

15. So, according to God‟s Word – which is
completely true and trustworthy, Jesus left the glory
and splendor of Heaven; and he did this so that he
might save an already condemned (guilty) world.
He knew that humans could not enter Heaven –
not in the darkened state that we are all born into
(being found condemned by default, due to our sin
nature). And so, Jesus came down to us. He loved us
so very much, that HE came to US. That is a pure,
unconditional love: a perfect love, for God IS love.

16. Jesus shows us what we ought to do to be saved, as he
hung on the cross:
Luke 23:39 – 43
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at
him: “Aren‟t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don‟t you fear
God,” he said, “since you are under the same
sentence?
41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our
deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing
wrong.”
42 Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you
will be with me in paradise.”

17. The second criminal, hanging next to Jesus; the one
who rebuked the first, received salvation from the
Lord. And we can too!
1 He had faith in God, and in who Jesus was.
2 He acknowledged his wrong doing; he was
repentant.
3 He turned to Jesus and asked him for forgiveness.
And because of those three things, Jesus granted
him Salvation. And if you follow this example, the
Lord Jesus Christ will also save you.
