You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life

John 5:31-47

You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. 

“I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

 “I do not accept glory from human beings, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.

How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

But his claims for himself are mind-blowing. As 'Son of God'

Why?

Jesus didn't testify himself, but John has testified Him. But people rather chose for a tome to enjoy his light.

People believed that study the Scriptures diligently because there has eternal life, but the truth is the scripture testify about Jesus.

People like to show their own capability and their effort has been done to get the glory from human beings. It is selfishness in human beings for it is came from sins.

提出五個見證

1.約翰是點著的燈：暫時喜歡：當約翰說好的他們喜歡，責備他們就不喜歡。

2.耶穌所行神蹟的見證：神蹟違背了律法，所以猶太人不想提

3.不相信神的話：聖經字句，不等於神的道。形成一套遵守字句的系統就變成律法，卻沒有神的道。在驕傲中不明神的道。

4.查考聖經：創造的聖經神學不能得到生命。不是用聖經來證明我的生命。而是經由聖經，認識到耶穌、相信耶穌才能夠得到生命。

5.摩西的話：只喜歡從人來的榮耀，不在乎神來的榮耀。猶大人看重遵行律法，內心人看不到。我們追求人的讚美，就會流入法利賽人的光景。

How?

The real problem is the sins, the only solution is Jesus, who brings light and life to all who believe in Him.
