10 The Hard Things 11

11 You Must Be Born Again John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 12

12 Jesus and God are Equals/One John 5:18 - Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. John 10:30 - I and my Father are one. 13

13 Jesus Came From Heaven John 6:38 - For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:41 - The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. John 6:51 - I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 14

Acts 17:25, he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 16

16 The End of All Other Paths John 8:24 - I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 17

20 The Way, The Truth, The Life John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 21

21 Salvation For All, Through One John 3: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 22

22 Believing in Fear John 12: Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 23

23 Receive Him -> Sons of God John 1: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 24
