John 5:40-47

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 5:40-47

40yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41I do not accept glory from men,
42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
— John 5:40-47
