Reason for the Record

"And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, ye might have life through His name" (John 20:30,31).

The reason for the Book of John
Is that you truly might believe
That Jesus Christ is God the Son,
Whom humble sinners may receive.

The reason for this Gospel written
In this record that John gave,
Is to know that Christ was smitten
As the Lamb of God to save.

The reason that we have this Book
That tells why Christ our Savior came,
Is that believing, you might look,
And thus have life through Jesus' name.
