17. Write the key words for the fourth Gospel that are not key for the other Gospels?

2.5 Let’s Personalize this lesson…

It is very important that at this point we focus on the most important area of the Gospels, the
purpose. It is very obvious that all the evangelists (Gospel writers), at the very core of their
writing, is a strong message and emphasis that the readers should not miss the fact that Jesus
is God the Son, Who came to save the world from sin, demonstrating His deity and purpose in
words and deeds, so that the readers would believe in His person and finished work on the
cross, and victorious resurrection, and by believing, should have eternal life. John is the most direct on
this fact (John 20:31). For us our reaction is to trust our witnesses, and carry out their message. If what
these witnesses are saying is true and real to you will you carry out their message to the world? List out
the thing that prevented you from carrying out the gospel to the world, and how you have resolved to
overcome those obstacles?
