The Gospel of John, The Letters of John and Jesus: Commentary
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This ten-volume set of commentaries is written in everyday English. Dr. Adams, using an everyman style, explains and applies biblical truths in the clear, understandable way that typifies his writings. He does not try to duplicate the standard, more technical commentaries but supplements them with the implications of the text for God-honoring counseling and Christian living. This resource includes the commentary on the Gospel of John and the letters of John and Jesus.
Top Highlights
“Have you ever made it clear that, ultimately, all problems are there in order to demonstrate the power, mercy and goodness of God in solving them? Give some strong consideration to this approach.” (Page 111)
“been other than a geographical one. It was necessary” (Page 50)
“Pleasure is a motive for sin. The lust of the flesh has to do not only with sexual sin, but (more broadly) with determining life’s goals, and making decisions, on the basis of comfort and ease. Possessions, as a motive, work hand-in-hand with pleasure. Wanting what is not rightly yours (covetousness) because you believe it will bring comfort and ease (or fame) is in view here. Position, pride of what one is and what one has in order to elicit praise and honor from others, is the third temptation.” (Page 220)
“The tragedy of false believers, who may think they are Christians but who will only be separated from them at the judgment, is one that Jesus is addressing. Every counselor who has any idea that the person with whom he is working may be such a branch should strongly warn him about the matter. We may not allow such persons to wend their way blithely through life thinking they are secure.” (Page 160)
“There is no way that a detached branch can bear fruit; it needs the vine. So there is no way in which a person may be unsaved and do so.” (Page 160)
