Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (John 12:44-50 KJV)
Points that one can glean from the above passage:
1. To believe in Christ means to believe in God as well.
2. When Christ use the word 'believe'. He means believing in his words / teachings.
3. If someone rejects Christ, that person does not receive his words or teachings
4. God will judge all those who do not receive the words of Christ
5. The commandments of Christ = The commandments of God
6. Obedience to the commandments of God which comes through Christ is what gives life everlasting.
