John 12:44-50

Believe in the One sent to save you. GOD, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, loves you so! Let the flame of Christ reside in you through the Holy Spirit. If we cling to the light we will be transformed into a beacon of God’s love to all those we meet!

Jesus equates Himself with God the Father; they are one. Jesus desires to save. Receiving that salvation involves believing in Him. The commandment Jesus requires His disciples to keep is to believe in His ability to grant eternal life. Faithlife Bible.

Jesus insisted that anyone who believed in Him was at the same time exercising belief in God the Father. Jesus explained that He was the personal manifestation of God. Christ will judge, but at His first coming He did not come to judge but to save.

John 12:44–50 (NKJV)
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

Luke 10:16 (NKJV)

16 He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
