Metochoi Learning

John’s Gospel was written so unbelievers may believe and have life in Jesus’ name (John 20:31). Throughout the book, John presents eternal life through two inseparable elements: the Giver and the Gift. Jesus repeatedly identifies Himself as the source of life—“I am the resurrection and the life”—and calls people to receive everlasting life by believing in Him. Through signs, witnesses, and Scripture, John builds a clear, complete, and simple case: eternal life is not earned, but received as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Discover John: Believe and Live is a focused journey through the Fourth Gospel that keeps John’s purpose front and center—so you can believe Jesus and have life in His name, and confidently share that message with others. You’ll learn to distinguish the essential saving promise from the rich backstory—anchored in Jesus’ guarantee, “He who believes in Me has everlasting life,” and John’s consistent use of “believe in Him” for saving faith. Expect a simple path that builds assurance and equips you to share messages that highlight the freedom of God’s saving grace.

Hebrews 6:4-8 stands as a sobering warning: those who have truly tasted the blessings of salvation and then decisively fall away cannot be restored by ordinary means. This is not the loss of eternal life, but the inevitability of severe divine discipline. Like unproductive land that yields thorns and is burned, the fruitless believer faces God’s chastening with the hope of eventual restoration. The passage calls believers to persevere in faith and fruitfulness, lest they share in the tragic consequences of renouncing the sufficiency of Christ.
