The Gospel According To John

The Mystery
Bible 1611.Com / Old Paths Bible Ministries © 2008John 1:16 "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ."
How can this be? Did not Noah find grace? [Genesis 6:8] “But Noah found
grace in the eyes of the Lord.” And did not Lot also? [Genesis 19:19]
What of Moses? [Exodus 33:12] Yes they all did, “but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ”. The dispensation in this age is characterized in a special way by GRACE. [Romans 5:20-21] “Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The grip by DEATH was broken when Jesus rose from the dead! [Ephesians 3:2-9] “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; [as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ] Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:”
The Holy Ghost said it this way through the Apostle Peter: [1 Peter 1:10-12]
“Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.”
This is the age of GRACE for all the GENTILES to come to Jesus Christ.
[Romans 11]Now we come to a verse that has been of great interest to the Devil and his dupes … the SCHOLARS for nearly two thousand years!!! [We need to be STUDENTS of God’s WORD … taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.]

The Gospel According To John
John 1:1 In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made
that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it
not.
John 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all
men through him might believe.
John 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
Light.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into
the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and
the world
knew him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 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:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor
of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and
truth.
John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he
of whom I
spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for
grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus
Christ.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is
in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests
and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
John 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not
the
Christ.
John 1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he
saith, I am
not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
John 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an
answer
to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
John 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make
straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
John 1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
John 1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
then, if
thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John 1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but
there
standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
John 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me,
whose shoe's
latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
John 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where
John was
baptizing.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold
the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.
John 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel,
therefore am I come baptizing with water.
John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending
from
heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with
water, the
same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending,
and
remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy
Ghost.
John 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
John 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his
disciples;
John 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the
Lamb of
God!
John 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
Jesus.
John 1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
them,
What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being
interpreted,
Master,) where dwellest thou?
John 1:39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where
he
dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him,
was
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto
him, We
have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he
said,
Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which
is by
interpretation, A stone.
John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
findeth
Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
John 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have
found him,
of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of
Nazareth, the
son of Joseph.
John 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come
out of
Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him,
Behold an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered
and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast
under the
fig tree, I saw thee.
John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the
Son of
God; thou art the King of Israel.
John 1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto
thee, I saw
thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater
things than
these.
John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Hereafter
ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and
descending upon
the Son of man.
