NASB | John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:24 "That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins." [Ex 3:14; Matt 24:5; Mark 13:6; Luke 21:8] |
Subject: die in your sins |
Bible Note: To me the I am's in John 8:12-30 are affirmations by Jesus to the Jews present that he is the Christ the Messiah. John 8:58 affirms his eternal being. John 1:1 tells me he was God. I do not believe John 8:24 is saying you have to believe Jesus is God to be saved. I believe you must believe you are sinful, that without salvation you are doomed to damnation, that you can not save yourself but that you need a Savior, Jesus is that Savior, that the blood of Jesus poured out for the remission of our sins, paid the price and atoned and washed away our sins. I further believe that as a Christian we must continue to grow and learn and it is during this growing and learning that we learn Jesus was fully God and fully man. |
