There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
John 1:6-7
In verse 7 we get the first glimpse into God's plan for humankind: that...all men might believe. Who is Jesus after? Everyone. What does he want for them? To believe.
To believe in what? Again, it's in verse 7: God wants man to believe in THAT LIGHT.
We just learned what that light is: the Word. God's Son. Jesus Christ.
What is God's desire for humankind? To be good? NO! To obey him? NO! To believe in his Son? YES!
