The writer has attempted to show, in a world of shock and awe, God's hope, love, and assurance for today, tomorrow, and evermore. The way we live our lives while on earth will determine our fate at the end of our lives.
Whatever a person's profession, he owes his past, present, and future to the Creator who has given to us so abundantly that we might have life everlasting, which is the goal of this book. A vain attempt has been made to strengthen Christians in their role for Christian service. For when life is over, to spend eternity with the Author and Finisher of life is the hope of all human life. A realization that Jesus hears and answers our prayers and helps us solve our problems gives us the blessed assurance that God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.
I am the light of the world, he that followeth me, shall have the light of life (Jh 8:12). I am the good Shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep (Jh 10:11). I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved (Jh 10:9). I am the resurrection, and the life; whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die (Jh 11:25). I am the way and the truth and the life; no man cometh to the Father but by me (Jh 14:6). I am the vine, if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you (Jh 15:7). I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Rev. 22:13).
