The Book of John - Why We Can Believe Jesus

Nov 23, 2025

In a world saturated with deception and half-truths, we're confronted with a fundamental question: can we really believe Jesus? John chapter 7 reveals three compelling reasons why Jesus stands apart from every other voice competing for our trust.


First, His message comes directly from God, not from human training, philosophy, or opinion, but from heaven itself. This means we can trust not just His promise of salvation, but every word He speaks in Scripture about how we should live.


Second, His motives are absolutely pure. Unlike those who speak to gain personal glory or applause, Jesus sought only to glorify God the Father. His heart was never about building His own platform but about fulfilling God's will.


Third, His character is completely righteous. His life perfectly matched His message. No hypocrisy, no contradiction between public and private behavior. When we measure Jesus against the level of God's truth, we find He aligns perfectly. This isn't just an intellectual exercise; it's an invitation to transformation.


When we truly believe Jesus, His words shape our decisions, His motives guide our hearts, and His character becomes reflected in our daily lives. The world desperately needs to see believers who are 'on the level' whose lives line up with Jesus in word, motive, and character.
