If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples. As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

John 8:31 Summary

[Jesus is telling us that if we want to be His true disciples, we need to keep learning and obeying His teachings. This means reading the Bible, praying, and trying to live like Jesus every day. As we do this, we will come to know the truth, and the truth will set us free, as Jesus says in John 8:32. By continuing in Jesus' word, we can experience a deeper relationship with Him and a growing freedom from sin and its consequences, as promised in Romans 8:2.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to 'continue in My word' in John 8:31?

To continue in Jesus' word means to obey and follow His teachings, as seen in John 14:15, where Jesus says, 'If you love Me, keep My commandments.' This involves a lifelong commitment to learning and applying God's truth in our lives, as encouraged in Psalm 119:105, which says, 'Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.'

Who is Jesus addressing in John 8:31?

Jesus is speaking to the Jews who had believed in Him, as mentioned in John 8:30, which says, 'As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.' This group of people had put their faith in Jesus, but He is now challenging them to take their faith to the next level by continuing in His word.

What is the significance of being a 'true disciple' in John 8:31?

Being a true disciple of Jesus means that we are not just casual followers, but rather committed learners and doers of His word, as seen in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands us to make disciples and teach them to obey everything He has commanded. This involves a deepening relationship with Jesus and a growing obedience to His teachings.

How does continuing in Jesus' word relate to our spiritual freedom?

Continuing in Jesus' word is essential for experiencing spiritual freedom, as Jesus says in John 8:32, 'Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' This freedom is not just a one-time event, but a ongoing process of learning and applying God's truth in our lives, as encouraged in Romans 8:2, which says, 'For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death.'

  2. How does my obedience to Jesus' teachings reflect my love for Him, and what are some areas where I need to grow in obedience?
  3. What are some common obstacles that can hinder my ability to continue in Jesus' word, and how can I overcome them?
  4. How can I balance the desire to learn and apply God's truth with the need to trust in Jesus' finished work on the cross for my salvation?
  5. In what ways can I share Jesus' teachings with others and encourage them to continue in His word?

Gill's Exposition on John 8:31

Then said Jesus to those Jews that believed on him,.... For he knew instantly who they were, and when they believed on him; and therefore he immediately turned himself to them, and thus addressed

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 8:31

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 8:31

Believed on him, in the sense before expressed. Our Saviour well enough saw their hearts, and in what manner they believed, and what sort of disciples they were, viz. only nominal: they have the name of disciples who come after Christ to hear him; but they are his disciples indeed, who make his doctrine the rule of their lives. He therefore tells them, That not a mere saying to him Lord, Lord, and yielding some light assent to some propositions of truth in the gospel, would make them his disciples in truth and reality, without an abiding and continuance in the words which he taught them.

Trapp's Commentary on John 8:31

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; Ver. 31. If ye continue in my word] Non quaeruntur in Christianis initia, sed finis, said Jerome. And that which is but almost done is not done, saith Basil. It is the evening that crowns the day, and the last act that commends the whole scene. Temporary flashings are but like conduits running with wine at the coronation, that will not hold; or like a land flood, that seems to be a great sea, but comes to nothing. τοπαρολιγονγεγονος, ουγεγονεν.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 8:31

(31) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him.—Better, to those Jews who had believed Him. The act of faith is mentioned in the previous verse. They are here placed among the believers, with an expression of contrast mixed with, perhaps, something of wonder—Jews and yet believers. If ye continue in my word.—Or, If ye abide in My word. Comp. Note on John 15:7, where we have the opposite form of the thought, “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you.” See also for this idea of abiding, Notes on John 5:37-38. His word was the expression of the eternal truth of God, and He therefore was the one great Teacher. Every other must sit as a disciple at His feet, and continue in daily learning and in daily living to grasp the truth which, in that word and that word only, was revealed to man. Here, as very frequently, part of the force of the sentence is expressed in the emphasis of the pronoun, “If ye continue in My word.” “Ye, on your part, ye who now believe, but have not the courage to rank yourselves openly among My disciples.” Then are ye my disciples indeed.—The insertion of “then” does not improve the rendering—“If ye continue in My word, ye are My disciples indeed.” The words imply that He who reads the heart has no confidence in this momentary conviction, which will not stand the test of true discipleship, and all that this includes. (Comp. Notes on John 2:23-25; John 6:66.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 8:31

Verse 31. If ye continue in my word] Or, in this doctrine of mine. It is not enough to receive God's truth-we must retain and walk in it. And it is only when we receive the truth, love it, keep it, and walk in it, that we are the genuine disciples of Christ.

Cambridge Bible on John 8:31

31. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him] Better, Jesus said, therefore, to the Jews who had believed Him. There is a change in the expression respecting their belief. In John 8:30 S. John uses the strong phrase ‘believed on Him;’ here he uses the much weaker ‘believed Him’ (see on John 1:12), as if to prepare us for the collapse of their faith.If ye continue, &c.] Or, If ye abide in My word (see on John 1:33), ye are truly My disciples. Both ‘ye’ and ‘My’ are emphatic: ‘you on your part’—‘the word that is Mine.’ “The new converts, who come forward with a profession of faith, receive a word of encouragement as well as of warning. They were not to mistake a momentary impulse for a deliberate conviction.” S. p. 155. ‘If ye abide in My word, so that it becomes the permanent condition of your life, then are ye My disciples in truth, and not merely in appearance after being carried away for the moment.’

Barnes' Notes on John 8:31

If ye continue in my word - If you continue to obey my commandments and to receive my doctrines. Then are ye ... - This is the true test of Christian character.

Whedon's Commentary on John 8:31

31. If ye continue—Theirs was one of the cases which, founded on false suppositions, would fail as soon as the supposition was dissipated.
