"Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." ~ John 1:51 Unique to the book of John, “Most Assuredly” is translated from AMEN, AMEN. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from tshe law till all is fulfilled." ~ Matthew 5:18 His control stretches into the vastness of all that is. Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ~ John 3:3 To be born again is God calling us back to know Him. Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." ~ John 3:5 The Bible is clear on condition God calls out for one to obey His word in Spirit and truth. "Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." ~ Mark 10:15 Innocence of heart is a pure heart. God calls one to gain a pure heart upon our waiting for time’s end. ... "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." ~ Matthew 18:3 Definitely a call to convert to a faithful heart in full trust is the call into His kingdom. "Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness." ~ John 3:11 Many do not care to hear the truth God has delivered for all to know. ... "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner." ~ John 5:19 While on earth Jesus proclaim His divinity. God does not hide from Himself. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, ..." ~ John 5:24 A glorious call to rise from death into life. "... assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear ..." ~ Matthew 13:15-17 Coming to God reveals true heart ☞ See with eyes ☊ Hear with ears ☊ Understand with their hearts   Turn, so that I should heal them   ↓ ∴ Blessed ∵ Your eyes for they see Your ears for they hear It is a call to see and hear what He has proclaimed Himself along with His chosen Apostles, all meant for us to understand the blessing set forth for all. "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live." ~ John 5:25 There is an underlying fabric to the truth that touches us all. Hearing the divine call brings that blessing that makes life’s purpose clearer; to live! ... "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled." ~ John 6:26 If one desires for God to give, and expects it, the true spiritual value of loving Him for what He has already done goes missed. ... "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven." ~ John 6:32 God is showing us that we need Him to survive, and it is more than the mere physical. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." ~ John 6:47 It is a process of knowing the destination. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you." ~ John 6:53 Jesus is the source of all life. Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin." ~ John 8:34 To turn from that which is truth, in all its goodness, divides all reason for why the light of creation exists, keeping it foreign from the depths of a sinning soul. "Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." ~ John 8:51 The flesh is in a continual cycle of death, and there is only one way to rejuvenate what plants true life; The word He has spoken to us all. Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." ~ John 8:58 Jesus has proclaimed His divinity and His authority can not be superseded. "... assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." ~ John 10:1 Jesus has set the standard for our approach and return to what God expects of us. Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep." ~ John 10:7 To follow Him is to find eternal life in the peace of His love, offered freely to all, through His magnanimous example of self-sacrifice. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; ... ~ John 12:24 In an age of ages where most hold the despair of death, He calls us to live! "Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him." ~ John 13:16 In His service, and absolute acts of kindness, He came to reveal truth to our hearts. He waits to see that part of us that understands His call to service one another. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me." ~ John 13:20 Most in life do not receive others deluded in their selfish struggles to overcome self-inflicted loneliness’s trapped in chasms of anger. Rejection of His holy truths bears greater gravity than the mere rejection of men and their dominating doctrines. What God has sent forth is to save us, from not just ourselves but from all those deceptions the world would snare one with, and we are commanded to hear this word. ... "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me." ~ John 13:21 It is troubling that so many of us are against one another. "... Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times." ~ John 13:38 His call is a challenge to all that is noble in one, to turn from that wicked bone of cowardice that succumbs to the weakness of fear. That fear which flies all about and around tearing tranquility from the peace of our homes and families to the detriment of all. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, ..." ~ John 14:12 Works of heart and love is what leads a soul to salvation and draws the light of God Himself to shine refuge upon true believers. "Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, ..." ~ John 16:20 We will not escape the sufferings mortal life presents to all, but in His bosom we find the joy of His love in the truth of why and who He is. "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you." ~ John 16:23 To accept Him and expect nothing is when true love for Him and His gifts becomes more than apparent. "Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, ..." ~ John 21:18-19 Many have been called to make sacrifices in the face of man’s wrath for man. Again, with an eye on the eternal destination, there can be no regret for Love of God and His truth. "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." ~ John 10:27 It comes down to His call, do you hear, and if you do, it is a walk and a talk one can not abandon Him and reap the rewards of His promises.
