“We know enough to have confidence in what God’s communicated to us, but we don’t know it all. If we did, we’d cease to be dependent upon the One we should be dependent upon…
In reading the gospel of John, we’re compelled to believe based upon who Jesus is, but also based upon the motivation of our great God, which was love, to send His only Son that we might be saved.”
