This verse shows that without the word of God in you one cannot believe in the One God sent. Believing is doing the works and the words of God as Jesus said. This shows it takes the words of God to believe.

John 5;

37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his form, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe him whom he has sent.


"Man does not live by bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God."


"From the believers heart shall flow rivers of living water."

Jeremiah 17:13 NRS

13 O hope of Israel! O Lord! All who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be recorded in the underworld, for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, the Lord.

How important is the word of God to you?

Jesus said from Matthew 12:42.....``.The Queen of the south (Sheba) will rise up with this generation at the judgement and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold something greater the Solomon is here ``....... Here Jesus says how far will you go to hear the Word of God ?

Well, truth be told, it ain't as important as the LOVE of God. If you really want to know..

John 17

"I have made known your name to them, and I will make it known, so that the love which with you loved me may be in them and I in them."

Notice in the verse above Jesus is speaking of God,s name and love and truth, that they may be in His followers. Seemingly saying that the name, and the truth are the love of God.

It is speaking about the LOVE and truth that IS Jesus being within us.

John 1:1, 14 shows who Jesus is, and the truth He brought. That truth was what He was teaching, and He recognized that the Pharisees in John 5 that should have had that truth in them, did not.

Jesus is the WORD God incarnate and He is the TRUTH of God in person.

The truth is the word of God as Jesus clearly states. He said( Father) "your word is truth". You have it all tangled up.

The son of man is the truth the way and the love. I am son of man. Abide in my word and you will live.

Unless you come to me you will surely die in your sin. Unless you eat and drink you will have no part of my inheritance.

OUR LOVE distinguishes us from those who do not hear his word

If you knew Him you would know me also because I come from Him, He sent me.

Some of the writings of John are so vague and debatable, that I cannot possibly have much regard a lot of his writings.
