Read: John 3:22-36

³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

The reason why John the Baptist gives way to Jesus is because Jesus is the Messiah, God’s anointed Savior, and he is not. People may trust someone else to save them—perhaps Mary, the mother of Jesus—but it’s quite clear that eternal life can be had only through faith in the Son.

To have eternal life, one must believe in Jesus  who alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
