PRACTICAL POINTS FOR DISCUSSION:
1. Just as Jesus was dependent on the Father, we must recognize our dependence on Him (John 5:19; John 15:6).
2. Our love for someone will be evident in our desire to share with them (John 5:20).
3. The wonderful things Jesus did should prompt us to honor Him as God (John 5:21-23).
4. Because we cannot believe what we never hear, we must earnestly study the words of Jesus (John 5:24).
5. Life—natural, spiritual, and eternal—is a precious gift from God (John 5:25-26).
6. The judgment after death is as certain as death itself (John 5:27-29; Hebrews 9:27).
