7)Then said JESUS unto them
again, verily ,verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the
sheep

me are thieves and robbers;
but the sheep did not hear
them
9)I am the door; by me if any
man enter in, he shall be

entrance into the sheep’s
gate, he is the way :

There, if a man wishes to
enter where GOD is, he must
enter the GATE of JESUS
CHRIST, for CHRIST is the only
gate into the presence of
GOD
ALL OTHER ARE THIEVES
AND ROBBERS
All others who claim to be
the gate are thieves and
robbers, they claim to be the
right way , by their teaching,
religion, works, philosophy,
psychology, ideas, they claim
to be the gate that opens the
presence of GOD, but JESUS
says that they are thieves
and robbers.
They are out to steal the
sheep possession, and their
lives, loyalty, the sheep do
not listen to false gate( false
teachers), the real sheep of
GOD hears the voice of GOD
and know how to recognize
it
JESUS is the gate that leads
to salvation

peace and security
• The gate that leads to
true pasture, the
pasture that has the

25)JESUS said unto her, I am
the resurrection, and the life;
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet
shall he live
26)And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall
never die believest thou this?
|
I AM THE RESURRECTION
AND LIFE:
JESUS CLAIMS: I am the
resurrection and the life,
JESUS says that he gives life
to believers; that he is the
the very being and essence,
the very power and energy of
life, therefore he can sustain
life:
Ø He gives and sustains
life as he wills
Ø He resurrects and
restores life as he
wills
This means all life exist by
the final power of JESUS
CHRIST he is the source of
life, there is nothing that can
exist without his will,
therefore if a dead person
want to live, only JESUS can
give him life, and if a living
person does not want to die,
only JESUS can Keep him
from dying
JESUS says he who believes
in me will live, even though
he dies, he will live in the
other world; in heaven, in the
spiritual dimension of being
in the presence of GOD
himself.
The believer is fully alive: he
lives in heaven, in other
world in the presence of GOD
Whoever lives and believes in
me( JESUS CHRIST) will never
die, that is will never taste
death.

4)Abide in me, and I in you,
as the branch cannot bear
fruit of it self, except it
abides in the vine; no more
can ye, except ye abide in me
5)I am the vine, ye are the
branches; he that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit; for
without me ye can do
nothing
|
ABIDE IN ME AND I IN YOU
To remain abide, dwell,
continue, stay, rest in or
upon, being set and fixed and
remain there in the vine
(JESUS CHRIST)
The fruitful branch is
cleansed by the words which
JESUS has given to men, by
the word of the LORD himself
The more a branch(Believer)
abide in the Vine (JESUS
CHRIST), that is the closer the
branch abides to the heart of
the vine, the more
nourishment a branch draws
from the vine and the more
fruit it bears.
All believer are fruit bearers
are fruit bearers, some
hundred percent, some 60
percent, while some thirty
percent there are degree of
commitment and dedicated
to JESUS CHRIST
Branches (believer) is
cleansed by remaining
abiding in JESUS by
continuing in JESUS CHRIST
With JESUS CHRIST we can
do nothing.

JOHN 17:2-3

2)As thou hast given him
power over all flesh, that he
give eternal life, to as many
as thou hast given him
3)And this is life eternal, that
they might know thee the
only true GOD, and JESUS
CHRIST, whom thou hast sent
|
AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM
POWER OVER ALL FLESH:
Life, real life, is the very life
of GOD himself, it is the very
energy, force, being, essence
and power of life.
To have eternal life is to
know GOD, once a person
knows GOD and JESUS
CHRIST whom he has sent,
that person has eternal life
he shall live forever .
The only being that can be
said to be eternal is GOD,
eternal life is more than
endless quality of life it is the
special quality of life that we
believers receive when we
partake of the essential life
of GOD through JESUS
CHRIST, which allows us to
know GOD in ever growing
knowledge and fellowship
with FATHER and SON and
the Holy Spirit.
