#67 - The Contribution of John’s Gospel to the Salvation Controversy

In this podcast Charlie gets detailed and focuses on the book of John and its intent. Specifically that it's an evangelistic book. There are three aspects that Charlie touches on and the second one is the primary focus of this podcast.

1. Jesus is a divine son, John begins and ends focusing on Christ' deity.
2. Presentation of belief as a proper response to Christ's offer. 
3. Eternal life is the result of belief. "That by believing you may have life in His name."

John's purpose then, was to induce and foster faith. The intent was to lead people to faith. But what were the conditions for salvation? Would we not expect a clear condition if this was the purpose of the book?  The answer is yes!

But is there a "special" kind of faith or belief required?  Listen to find out.
