Salvation teaching featuring John chapters 4 and 8

Here is a salvation teaching featuring John chapters 4 and 8 with the stories of the woman at the well and also the woman accused in adultery, both of which show Jesus mercy to people. Also in there are some wonderful teaching materiel on witnessing and more. I am including a salvation teaching from the epistle of Romans as well.

John chapter 4 includes the story of the woman at the well and how He witnesses to her telling her He has living water to give her and reminds all how He was sent to do the will of the Father who sent Him

(John 4:1)  When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

(John 4:2)  (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

(John 4:3)  He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

(John 4:4)  And he must needs go through Samaria.

(John 4:5)  Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

(John 4:6)  Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

(John 4:7)  There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

(John 4:8)  (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

(John 4:9)  Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

(John 4:10)  Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

(John 4:11)  The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

(John 4:12)  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

(John 4:13)  Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

(John 4:14)  But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

(John 4:15)  The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

(John 4:16)  Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

(John 4:17)  The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

(John 4:18)  For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

(John 4:19)  The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

(John 4:20)  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

(John 4:21)  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

(John 4:22)  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

(John 4:23)  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

(John 4:24)  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

(John 4:25)  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

(John 4:26)  Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

(John 4:27)  And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

(John 4:28)  The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

(John 4:29)  Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

(John 4:30)  Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

(John 4:31)  In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

(John 4:32)  But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

(John 4:33)  Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

(John 4:34)  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

(John 4:35)  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

(John 4:36)  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

(John 4:37)  And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

(John 4:38)  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

(John 4:39)  And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

(John 4:40)  So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

(John 4:41)  And many more believed because of his own word;

(John 4:42)  And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

(John 4:43)  Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

(John 4:44)  For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

(John 4:45)  Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

(John 4:46)  So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

(John 4:47)  When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

(John 4:48)  Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

(John 4:49)  The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

(John 4:50)  Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

(John 4:51)  And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

(John 4:52)  Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

(John 4:53)  So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

(John 4:54)  This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

In John chapter 8 is the story of the woman taken in adultery and how Jesus would not condemn her but lets her go warning her not to sin again, showing His mercy then gives a very powerful teaching to the Jews and discussion promising that He can set them free of sin and warning that one can be a slave to sin then at the end says how before Abraham was He was around. Praise the Lord

(John 8:1)  Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

(John 8:2)  And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

(John 8:3)  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

(John 8:4)  They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

(John 8:5)  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

(John 8:6)  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

(John 8:7)  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

(John 8:8)  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

(John 8:9)  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

(John 8:10)  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

(John 8:11)  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

(John 8:12)  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

(John 8:13)  The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

(John 8:14)  Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

(John 8:15)  Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

(John 8:16)  And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

(John 8:17)  It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

(John 8:18)  I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

(John 8:19)  Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

(John 8:20)  These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

(John 8:21)  Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

(John 8:22)  Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

(John 8:23)  And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

(John 8:24)  I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

(John 8:25)  Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

(John 8:26)  I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

(John 8:27)  They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

(John 8:28)  Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

(John 8:29)  And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

(John 8:30)  As he spake these words, many believed on him.

(John 8:31)  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

(John 8:32)  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(John 8:33)  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

(John 8:34)  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

(John 8:35)  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

(John 8:36)  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

(John 8:37)  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

(John 8:38)  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

(John 8:39)  They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

(John 8:40)  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

(John 8:41)  Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

(John 8:42)  Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

(John 8:43)  Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

(John 8:44)  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

(John 8:45)  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

(Johb 8:46)  Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

(John 8:47)  He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

(John 8:48)  Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

(John 8:49)  Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

(John 8:50)  And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

(John 8:51)  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

(John 8:52)  Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

(John 8:53)  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

(John 8:54)  Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

(John 8:55)  Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

(John 8:56)  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

(John 8:57)  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

(John 8:58)  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

(John 8:59)  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Jesus is eternal and these verses above show how indeed He was eternal. He came to die for and make atonement for our sins, which the epistle of Romans explains well, and so I am now including a teaching from that epistle

The first group of scriptures is a statement of purpose to preach the gospel for as Paul states I am not ashamed of the gospel and this word is given so people are indeed without excuse before God

(Romans 1:14)  I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

(Romans 1:15)  So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

(Romans 1:16)  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

(Romans 1:17)  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

(Romans 1:18)  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

(Romans 1:19)  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

(Romans 1:20)  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

In Romans 3 9- 12 it states both  Jews and Gentiles are under sin and none have done right at all.

(Romans 3:9)  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

(Romans 3:10)  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

(Romans 3:11)  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

(Romans 3:12)  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There is no difference here all have fallen short of God’s glory but all can be justified through Jesus, as stated in Romans 3 verses 21-27

(Romans 3:21)  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

(Romans 3:22)  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

(Romans 3:24)  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

(Romans 3:25)  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

(Romans 3:26)  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

(Romans 3:27)  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

In these two passages in Romans chapter 5 Paul explains through the disobedience of one man all were made sinners but through the obedience of one man all were made righteous as Jesus did die for us while we were weak and yet sinners

(Romans 5:6)  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

(Romans 5:7)  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

(Romans 5:8)  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

(Romans 5:9)  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

(Romans 5:10)  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

(Romans 5:11)  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

(Romans 5:12)  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

(Romans 5:19)  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

(Romans 5:20)  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

(Romans 5:21)  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now believers are slaves of righteousness and not sin, and also the wages of sin are death and the gift of God is life eternal through Jesus as explained in Romans 6

(Romans 6:20)  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

(Romans 6:21)  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

(Romans 6:22)  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This passage states how the word is near us and needs to be preached, too and also gives the instructions to be saved which are mainly to confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth and believe that God raised Him from the dead so that you will be saved.

(Romans 10:8)  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

(Romans 10:9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:11)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

(Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(Romans 10:14)  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

(Romans 10:15)  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

(Romans 10:16)  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

(Romans 10:17)  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In the first five verses of Romans chapter five state that we are now at peace with God, can develop patience through trails and also get the Holy Spirit

(Romans 5:1)  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

(Romans 5:2)  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

(Romans 5:3)  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

(Romans 5:4)  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

(Romans 5:5)  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

In these two passages in Romans 8 it is stated there is no condemnation anymore and ask if God is with us who can be against us, and that nothing will separate the believer from the love of Christ

(Romans 8:1)  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

(Romans 8:2)  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

(Romans 8:31)  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

(Romans 8:32)  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

(Romans 8:33)  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

(Romans 8:34)  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

(Romans 8:35)  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

(Romans 8:36)  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

(Romans 8:37)  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

(Romans 8:38)  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

(Romans 8:39)  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Finally in Romans 12 we are now to present our bodies as a living sacrifice and are not to be conformed by the word but transformed by the renewing of our mind. We also are now all part of one body.

(Romans 12:1)  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

(Romans 12:2)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

(Romans 12:3)  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

(Romans 12:4)  For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

(Romans 12:5)  So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

The message in the epistle of Romans  especially clearly explains the salvation thing from all being short of God’s glory but how God sent Jesus in love to take care of the sin problem so that we would have the gift of eternal life and not death as we all deserve too, and are the wages of sin. God does not any to die eternally but wants people to be saved, for relationship with the believer. God sent Jesus to die wanting this love relationship restored and Jesus complied for the same for us. This death of Jesus on the cross then atoned for our sins which had separated us from God, and now through the gift of God the relationship which God wanted with man can now be restored. There is nothing that can be compared with a relationship with God or nothing that can even come close. I am now including a prayer which will enable you to invite Jesus in your heart and begin this wonderful and incomparable relationship with God. Please pray this prayer with me

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my  sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

God bless you and yours
