Live 4 The LORD

Lessons from John 16-17

God loves me because I love and Believe in Jesus that He came from the Father. 

John 16:27

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

God gave Jesus authority over every man. 

All men that God has given Jesus, Jesus will give eternal life to. 

Eternal life is knowing the Father the only true God and Jesus whom The Father has sent. 

John 17:2-3

just as You gave Him authority over all mankind, so that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Jesus has revealed the Name to the chosen men. The Father has given Jesus the chosen out of the world. 

Those chosen men were the Fathers and He gave them to Jesus. 

Those chosen men follow the word of the Father. 

Those chosen men came to know that all the father has given Jesus comes from the Father. 

The words Jesus speaks are from the Father and given from Jesus to those chosen men. 

Those chosen men have received the words from Jesus. 

Those chosen men truly understood that Jesus came from the Father. 

Those chosen men believe that the Father sent Jesus. 

John 17:6-8

“I have revealed Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have followed Your word. Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

Jesus has given the words of the Father to the chosen. 

The world hates the chosen because they are not of the world. 

Jesus does not want us out of the world. He wants us to sanctify the world. 

Jesus asks the father to keep us safe from the evil one. 

The chosen men are not of the world just like Jesus is not of the world. 

The chosen are to be sanctified in the Truth. 

The Word of the Father is Truth and this is what sanctifies. 

Jesus sends the chosen men into the world. 

John 17:14-18

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. Just as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

Jesus has made the Name of the Father known to the chosen men and will continue to make it known. 

The reason it will continue to be made known to the chosen men is so that the Love which the Father has for Jesus will be in those chosen men (the love of God for Jesus-his beloved son-will be in men) and Jesus will be in those chosen men. (God loves the chosen as much as he loves Jesus in the chosen)

John 17:26

and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
