In John 8, Jesus is in Jerusalem and confronts religious leaders who bring him a woman accused of adultery. Jesus then argues with the Pharisees about who has the right to stoned women and makes several teachings about their divine nature and human sin. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in John 8:
Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and devoid are from the glory of God" This verse highlights the universal nature of human sin and how they are all separated from God's perfection.
John 3:17: "For God sent His Son to the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world may be saved by it." This verse shows that Jesus' mission on earth was to bring salvation, not condemnation.
John 14:6: "Jesus answered him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but for me." This verse emphasizes the divinity of Jesus and its position as the only way to salvation.
Romans 8:1: "Therefore, now no condemnation is for those who are in Christ Jesus." This verse shows that those who surrender to Christ are freed from the condemnation of sin.
1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all injustice." This verse highlights the importance of confession and repentance to achieve divine forgiveness.
