John 5:37-40 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

³⁷And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

³⁸nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

³⁹You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

⁴⁰yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
