To lead readers to trust Jesus as God's Messiah

Read it with trust, letting it lead you to Jesus

Treat it as useful information, but keep your trust elsewhere

Use it mainly to win arguments about religion

Assume belief is unnecessary if you know the facts

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and lived apart from you. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as the Messiah, the Son of God, and my Lord. Give me the life that comes through you, and make me yours. Amen.

Receive Jesus and His Life

Lord, revive your Church to trust Jesus more deeply. Where we have settled for information without faith, call us back to living belief in the Messiah, the Son of God. Let your people carry the life that comes through him into a weary world, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your People in Faith

Thank God for: a written account that points readers to Jesus; the clear witness that he is the Messiah and the Son of God; the gift of life that comes through believing him.

Give Thanks for the Written Witness

Pray by naming one question or hesitation you carry, ask God to use this account to lead you into deeper trust in Jesus, and ask for one clear step of faith you can take today.

Pray for Clearer Trust

Lord, keep me from reading these words without responding. Deepen my trust in Jesus, help me keep believing when my faith feels weak, and let the life you give shape my thoughts, choices, and hope, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Keep Believing

Pray for: friends and family who have heard about Jesus but have not yet trusted him; open hearts as they read John's account; courage to share a simple reason for your hope; their own receiving of the life that comes through his name.
