God’s love saves – The first three Gospels portray Jesus Christ with characteristics to inform a specific audience, with Matthew writing to a politically influenced Jewish audience, Mark to Jewish audience steeped in tradition, and Luke creates a portrayal of Jesus Christ receptive to non-Jewish, Gentile audience.  John’s audience is universal and unlimited revealing the eternal truth of the deity of Jesus Christ to all people.  Representing the Messiah as eternal, in nature (substance), character provides assurance that His work is also everlasting and eternal including the work of salvation.
