Conservative Friends Bible Study of The Gospel of John #24

John 14:1–17

We walk line by line through John 14:1–17 and hear Jesus calling us to trust God with steady hearts. We focus on what the Greek says about trust, knowing by experience, prayer in Jesus’ name, and the Spirit as the one called alongside to help.

• John 14 as a promise of access to the Father through Christ 
• “Believe” as trust and confidence rather than mere assent 
• Many dwelling places and the meaning of preparing a place 
• “I Am The Way Truth Life” and how Greek articles shape translation 
• Ginosko versus oida and knowing as lived experience 
• Philip’s request to see the Father and Jesus’ reply 
• “Greater works” and asking in Jesus’ name as alignment not magic 
• Warning against misuse of sign texts and ego driven power 
• Paracletos as advocate helper comforter intercessor 
• Ekklesia as a people called out and church as a body 
• “I will not leave you orphans” as friendless and without aid
