10. Consequences of Disbelief
Jesus said, “unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24)
The book of John was written with the purpose of proving that Jesus is the Son of God (a term of deity) and that we can have life through Him if we believe in His name.
If we have a different Son than the One that is shown in scripture, we do not have the Father either! (1 John 2:23)
