31. John’s Humility
All Christians agree that sometimes the most important events are set in wilderness places and not palaces, and that John set a good example by giving himself a humble title rather than a pompous and self-important label. "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord’ ” (John 1:23).
32. Lamb of God
All Christians believe that Jesus is the Lamb of God. "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29b cf. John 1:36b)
33. Messiah
All Christians agree that Jesus is the Messiah (the Anointed One), called Christ in Greek. “‘We have found the Messiah!’ (which is, being interpreted, Christ).” (John 1:41)
34. Water to Wine
All Christians believe Jesus’ first public miracle, that He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11).
35. A House of Prayer
All Christians agree with Jesus that the primary use of a church building is that it should be “... a house of prayer” (Matthew 21:13 cf. Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46)
36. Born from Above
All Christians believe that “unless one is born anew [from above], he can't see the Kingdom of God… born of water and spirit” (John 3:3b-5)
37. Belief in Jesus
All Christians believe “that whoever believes in him [Jesus] should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:15-16)
38. Save the World
All Christians believe that God’s purpose is to save the world. “For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.” (John 3:17)
39. Hating the Light
All Christians believe that the reason many choose not to come to God is motivated by emotional desire for evil not honest logic or true science. “For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.” (John 3:20)
40. Gifts from Heaven
All Christians believe that whatever we have has come from God. “A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from heaven.” (John 3:27)
