The Answer is; to point us to Christ the true Messiah, and that we should embrace him by faith, John 20.31. These things are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through his name. This is the ⟨p. 92⟩marrow of the Gospel. It's the sovereign Cordial of a fainting Soul, that by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ he may be saved.
