In John 5:24-29, the Son is described as ____ and ____.

• A. Giving Life; Executing Judgment
• B. Saving Lives
• C. Healing and Delivering
• D. Guiding and Teaching

Answer: (A)

This passage presents Jesus as both the source of life and the one who will render judgment, shown by two clear statements. First, it says that anyone who hears the Son’s word and believes Him who sent the Son has eternal life and does not come into judgment, already passing from death to life. That describes the gift of life given through faith in Jesus. Second, it states that the Father has given all judgment to the Son, so the Son has the authority to execute judgment. Together, these emphasize that Jesus is described as giving life and executing judgment. The other ideas—healing, delivering, guiding, or teaching—are important aspects of Jesus’ ministry in Scripture, but they do not capture the specific pair highlighted here: the present provision of eternal life and the future responsibility of judging.
