'God' in the Bible

In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

There was a man named Johnwho was sent from God.

But to all who did receive Him,He gave them the right to be children of God,to those who believe in His name,

who were born,not of blood,or of the will of the flesh,or of the will of man,but of God.

No one has ever seen God.The One and Only Son—the One who is at the Father’s side—He has revealed Him.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

I have seen and testified that He is the Son of God!”

When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”

“Rabbi,” Nathanael replied, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

Then He said, “I assure you: You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

This man came to Him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him.”

Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.

But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”

The one who has accepted His testimony has affirmed that God is true.

For God sent Him, and He speaks God’s words, since He gives the Spirit without measure.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

“I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

but I know you—that you have no love for God within you.

How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.

Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal of approval on Him.”

“What can we do to perform the works of God?” they asked.

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God—that you believe in the One He has sent.”

For the bread of God is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

It is written in the Prophets: And they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me—

not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father.

We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!”

If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

You’re doing what your father does.”“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

“If I glorify Myself,” Jesus answered, “My glory is nothing. My Father—you say about Him, ‘He is our God’—He is the One who glorifies Me.

Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He doesn’t keep the Sabbath!” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner!”

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man—we don’t know where He’s from!”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

If this man were not from God, He wouldn’t be able to do anything.”

“We aren’t stoning You for a good work,” the Jews answered, “but for blasphemy, because You—being a man—make Yourself God.”

If He called those whom the word of God came to ‘gods’—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?

When Jesus heard it, He said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You.”

“Yes, Lord,” she told Him, “I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

and not for the nation only, but also to unite the scattered children of God.

For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into His hands, that He had come from God, and that He was going back to God.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself and will glorify Him at once.

“Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.

They will ban you from the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering service to God.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

Now we know that You know everything and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came from God.”

This is eternal life:that they may know You, the only true God,and the One You have sent—Jesus Christ.

“We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father—to My God and your God.”

Thomas responded to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name.

He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him, “Follow Me!”
