“39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
YH’shua here facing unbelievers with scriptural fact, saying they believe in scripture but not it’s prophecy?; adding, they believed in John but not in YH’shua’s works? For us, an example of hypocrisy, selective belief trumping prophetic fulfillment: YH’shua or YH the Father’s salvation denied.
The message?
Remember, the Father’s salvation is found in perfect obedience to His Word, not ours, in YHshua, Amein.
