(ESV)\n\n Saint John wrote:\n Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the\n disciples, which are not written in this book; but\n these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is\n the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you\n may have life in his name.\n\n\n Is the Bible written to be a list of rules and regulations?\n As Christians, must we follow a certain dress code, refrain from\n eating certain foods, and avoid certain activities? Are we\n redeemed from sin, death, and the power of the devil because of\n our own works, or are we saved because of God's rich grace and\n undeserved love?\n\n We believe, teach, and confess, in accordance with the clear\n Word of God, that our salvation from sin and death is by God's\n love alone, not a result of our works. Jesus died, not because\n we are nice people, but because we are not nice people. His\n death is payment for our sin. Our good works pay nothing on the\n debt we owe to God and neighbor because of our sin.\n\n The Bible, including John's Gospel, is written so that we\n may know that Jesus is the Son of God. That is the message of\n the Bible. The Bible is not about our good works which earn us\n heaven, not a list of dietary rules or Christian clothing\n fashions. The Bible is the message, ``Jesus is the Christ, the\n Son of the living God.''[1]\n\n May our Lord open our hearts and minds to His Holy Word to\n see that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Christ, who bore our\n sins for our salvation. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
