Summary

When we say, “I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,” we are not saying something sentimental. We are making a staggering claim. A claim that is either breathtakingly true—or completely insane.

Sermon Questions

1. John opens his Gospel by calling Jesus “the Word.” What does this tell us about who Jesus is and how God reveals Himself to humanity (vv. 1–3, 14)?
2. Why is it important that Jesus is described as God and that He “became flesh and dwelt among us” (v. 14)? What would be lost if either of those truths were missing?
3. How does understanding Jesus as God’s only Son shape the way we view forgiveness, identity, and worth—especially for those who feel broken or disqualified?
4. How does believing Jesus is God’s only Son give hope to people coming out of darkness, addiction, incarceration, or failure?
5. When you say, “I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son,” what are you trusting Him for personally—not just intellectually, but practically?
