John 5:43

The Witness of Scripture

42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.43I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.44How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
