John 5: 21 – 29 CEV 1Just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants to. 22The Father doesn't judge anyone, but he has made his Son the judge of everyone.   23The Father wants all people to honour the Son as much as they honour him.

Page 39: WELCOME to trinity  “sharing  in god’s love”

John 5: 21 – 29 CEVWhen anyone refuses to honour the Son, that is the same as refusing to honour the Father who sent him.   24I tell you for certain that everyone who hears my message and has faith in the one who sent me has eternal life and will never be condemned.

Page 40: WELCOME to trinity  “sharing  in god’s love”

John 5: 21 – 29 CEV25I tell you for certain that the time will come, and it is already here, when all of the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God.

John 5: 21 – 29 CEV28Don't be surprised! The time will come when all of the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man,   29and they will come out of their graves.
