Commentary on the Gospel of John

                                 Chapter One

                                                                                                                                  Verses 4-8

In the King James Bible which is the inerrant and infallible Word of God, in the phrase in John 1:4, "the life was the light of men," the word "light" is not capitalized. God meant for this verse to be written this way to indicate that He created His humans in His good image; that is, with His "light" inside of them, but as objects of His Consciousness. God meant that His created life that He put into humans should be a "light" to them; that is, a consciousness of their need to choose to be righteous.

In verses 6-8, God sent John the Baptist to be a witness of the "Light," which word is capitalized. This Light can only be the Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world to save sinners. Luke 19:10. In verse 7, the phrase "that all men through Him might believe" indicates the possibility that all humans can be saved with some form of salvation. But if God can never lose anything He has ever created, and if "the things which are impossible with men are possible with God," and if God "is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," then it must stand to reason that God will find a way to cause all humans to repent and believe in the Lamb of God of their own free will which will prove that God's Love is Real and Almighty. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 18:27; II Peter 3:9; I Corinthians 13:8. God will save by His grace all who repent and believe while still alive in the flesh, and God will save all of the rest of humanity who live on the earth and under the earth in the regions of the dead when they see His Majesty as the Lamb of God in a great worship service as recorded in Revelation 5:11-14. God will recreate these humans in body, soul, and spirit to live on His recreated earth. Humans saved by grace will enjoy a higher form of salvation, and all other humans will enjoy a lesser form of salvation.

The word "might" in verse 7 cannot mean that God will save some humans and lose others because God can never lose any part of His creations that He loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Revelation 21:5. If God's Love makes all good things possible, would God ever fail to devise a plan to save everything that He has ever created and loves? Revelation 21:5; Romans 8:18-23; Colossians 1:15-22. In Colossians 1:20, the Apostle Paul teaches that God will "reconcile all things unto Himself." In Colossians 1:16, Paul teaches that "by Him were all things created." In Colossians 1:21, Paul assures Christian believers that God has already reconciled them to Himself when they repented and believed.
