    And I knew him not. That his testi-mony may not be suspected ofhaving been given either fromfriendship or favor, he anticipatessuch a doubt, by affirming that hehad no other knowledge of Christ

    than what he had obtained by divineinspiration. The meaning, therefore,amounts to this, that John does not

    speak at his own suggestion, nor forthe favor of man, but by the inspira-tion of the Spirit and the commandof God.

    Where dwellest thou?By this examplewe are taught that from the first, ru-diments of the Church we ought todraw such a relish for Christ as willexcite our desire to profit; and next,that we ought not to be satisfied witha mere passing look, but that weought to seek his dwelling, that hemay receive us as guests.

    a distance only, and thus allow Christ suddenlyto disappear, and all that they have learnedconcerning him to pass away. And thoughthose two persons did not at that time becomehis ordinary disciples, yet there can be nodoubt that, during that night, he instructedthem more fully, so that they soon afterwardsbecame entirely devoted to him.

    Excerpts from Calvins commentary on John 1:19-42.

    Christianity FAQPastors are often asked by newcomers andseekers, How do I become a Christian? and

    How do I know if I am a Christian? Theymay go onto ask

    whether theyare sup-posed to seebright lightsflashing, orif there willbe a sudden

    change in their lifestyle and behavior. Sadly,some respond to such questions too glibly: Ifyou are saved, you will know it. But questionslike these from those seeking the Lord shouldbe taken seriously. All believers, not only pas-tors, should be prepared to give a meaningfuland insightful answer from Scripture.

    One of the better testimonies regarding recog-nizing oneself as a Christian is given in John1:19-42. This is a record of a 3-day event

    when John the Baptist gave witness to theChrist as the One who was spoken of in theOld Testament prophecies. The Apostle Johnhas made some bold claims about Jesus in thepreceding verses and, in this passage, he sharesthe testimony of John the Baptist to back upthose claims.

    CHRISTIANS: HOW CAN WE KNOW? CONTINUED

    Taken together, Johns comments about theLord Jesus constitute a kind of prolegomenaor, first words, about the nature of Christianfaith.

    The One Who has comeJohn the Baptist proclaimed Jesus as the Sonof God and the Messiah for whom many inIsrael had been waiting. He assured the Phari-sees he was not the Christ and then quotedIsaiah 40:3 telling them he had come to telleveryone to make straight the way of the Lord

    (1:23). This is the first step of preparation foranyone who is wondering if he is a true be-liever: All true believers recognize their needfor a Savior and embrace Christ as the Son ofGod Who has come to save the world.

    John viewed Jesus as the One coming afterhim, the strap of whose sandals he was not

    worthy to fasten. He was implying a question,Do you believe Jesus is God incarnate; fully

    God and at the same time wholly man? Noone can be a Christian who does not begin thejourney of faith at this point, believing in Jesusof Nazareth as God the Word incarnate.

    The divine calling conveys knowledge of the ChristJohns second proclamation effectively chal-lenges us to ask, Do you recognize yourknowledge of saving faith as a gift fromGod? It is not enough to recognize Jesus as a

    good teacher, a good man, or even a great manwith a provocative philosophy of life. Theseare important issues, but the larger questionconcerns how we come to know that Jesus isGod. This is primary to Christianity. If youquestion this, you question the foundationstone of justification by faith alone.

    John the Baptist is telling us his knowledge ofthe Christ wasgiven to himby God. It didntcome to him because he grew up with Jesus; itdidnt come to him because he worked it outfrom some secret code found in the Old Testa-ment. It didnt come to him because he was agood guy doing good things. John tells us that

    hedid not know Him(Jesus as the Christ) untilthe Lord told him Jesus, on whom the Spiritdescended like a dove, was the One. Thus

    Johns proclamation of Jesus as the Lamb ofGod to take away the sins of the world came tohim from God the Father by divine illumina-tion.

    Knowledge of saving faith never comes by

    works; it is always the result of Gods gift andcalling, in which He enables us to understandthe unique character and work of Jesus Christ.

    Where you live I will liveHis third and final proclamation was Behold, theLamb of God! When Johns disciples heard thisthey understood it to mean follow Him. Theirdecision to follow Jesus is understood in thequestion, where are you staying? They were not

    seeking information about the physical locationof Jesus house; they wanted an invitation tofollow Christ as disciples. They knew it is notenough to just have knowledge of Christ as aman; they needed to know Him as the Son ofGod. Jesus response for them to come and see,

    More on nest page

    and their subsequent following tells us theywere seeking more. Jesus knew they had beencalled by God, had recognized Him as the Mes-siah, and now wanting a new way of living theyfollowed Him.

    The greatest test of faith is what we do with

    our life after we know Christ as Lord. Paul tellsus in Ephesians 2:8-10 we were not saved be-cause of good works but saved to do good

    works. This is not Lordship salvation in thesense we have to work out our salvation before

    we were saved. This is Lordship salvation in thesense we are now working and following thedoctrines of the faith in grateful and loving re-sponse to a salvation freely given to us by God.

    This is a must for the believer; as James says,our faith without works is a dead faith, makingit meaningless. Living where Jesus lives involvesour acts of appreciation for the greatest gift we

    will ever receive.

    It is sometimes difficult for a believer to knowand understand what came first, then second,and so on in the process of saving faith; but itis impossible for someone not called by God to

    understand or concern himself with issues offaith. Thus the Apostle Johns purpose in thispassage is to change how we look at God, how

    we evaluate our salvation, and how we view theworld in general as a believer.

    By including the narrative of John the Baptistand his disciples recognizing Jesus, John the

    Apostle has given us the first three principlesof saving faith. Firstwe must recognize and re-ceive (Jn. 1:12) Jesus as the Son of God, notjust another great teacher, but as the Savior of

    the world. Second, immediately upon knowingwho Jesus is we will understand this knowledgehas come to us as a gift or calling from God.Nothing in the heart of sinful man gives him adesire for faith or the knowledge of faith; thismust come from the giving of the Holy Spirit.Last, once we understand our salvation, ourgreatest desire is to serve the One Who hassaved us to eternal life.

    It is important to note what Calvin says withreference to knowing Christ intimately. He says

    we can know all of this from a distance andwhen we do this the knowledge will soon passaway. But Calvin implies if we will hold tight tothe teaching of Jesus we will with time becomecompletely devoted to Him.

    Many years ago when I first believed I had been

    call by God, I was at the same time worriedabout my salvation. A pastor friend told me thegreatest test of faith is when we are concernedabout our salvation. His point was people ofthe world have no concern about salvation.Some will say this is a dismissive statement con-cerning thoughts about salvation; but there is ahuge difference when the world wonders whathappens after death and a believer has concernsabout eternal life.

    Next steps: Try these questions with some of yourfriends: Do you sense a need for a Savior? Are youlooking to God to fill that need? Are you willing to fol-low wherever the Savior might lead?

    What is the plan of

    salvation?

    Question: "What is the plan of salvation /

    way of salvation?"

    Answer: Are you hungry? Not physically

    hungry, but do you have a hunger for some-thing more in life? Is there something deepinside of you that never seems to be satisfied?

    If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus said, I am thebread of life. He who comes to me will never

    go hungry, and he who believes in me willnever be thirsty (John 6:35).

    Are you confused? Can you never seem to

    find a path or purpose in life? Does it seemlike someone has turned out the lights and

    you cannot find the switch? If so, Jesus is theway! Jesus proclaimed, I am the light of the

    world. Whoever follows me will never walk

    in darkness, but will have the light of

    life (John 8:12).

    Do you ever feel like you are locked out of

    life? Have you tried so many doors, only to

    find that what is behind them is empty andmeaningless? Are you looking for an en-

    trance into a fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is theway! Jesus declared, I am the gate; who-

    ever enters through me will be saved. He

    will come in and go out, and find pas-

    ture (John 10:9).

    Do other people always let you down? Haveyour relationships been shallow and empty?

    Does it seem like everyone is trying to take

    advantage of you? If so, Jesus is the way!

    Jesus said, I am the good shepherd. Thegood shepherd lays down his life for the

    sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know mysheep and my sheep know me (John 10:11,

    14).

    Do you wonder what happens after this life?Are you tired of living your life for things

    that only rot or rust? Do you sometimesdoubt whether life has any meaning? Do

    you want to live after you die? If so, Jesus isthe way! Jesus declared, I am the resurrec-

    tion and the life. He who believes in me willlive, even though he dies; and whoever lives

    and believes in me will never die (John11:25-26).

    What is the way? What is the truth? What is

    the life? Jesus answered, I am the way and

    the truth and the life. No one comes to theFather except through me (John 14:6).

    The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hun-ger, and can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is

    the only one who can lift the darkness. Jesus

    is the door to a satisfying life. Jesus is the

    friend and shepherd that you have been

    looking for. Jesus is the lifein this worldand the next. Jesus is the way of salvation!

    The reason you feel hungry, the reason you

    seem to be lost in darkness, the reason youcannot find meaning in life, is that you are

    separated from God. The Bible tells us thatwe have all sinned, and are therefore sepa-

    rated from God (Ecclesiastes 7:20;Romans

    3:23). The void you feel in your heart is God

    missing from your life. We were created tohave a relationship with God. Because of our

    sin, we are separated from that relationship.Even worse, our sin will cause us to be sepa-

    rated from God for all of eternity, in this life

    and the next (Romans 6:23;John 3:36).

    How can this problem be solved? Jesus is the

    way! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Co-rinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place

    (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that wedeserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the

    dead, proving His victory over sin and death(Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus an-

    swered that question Himself: Greater lovehas no one than this, that he lay down his life

    for his friends (John 15:13). Jesus died sothat we could live. If we place our faith in

    Jesus, trusting His death as the payment forour sins, all of our sins are forgiven and

    washed away. We will then have our spiritualhunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on.

    We will have access to a fulfilling life. Wewill know our true best friend and good

    shepherd. We will know that we will have
