"To Him bear all the prophets witness, that through His name every one that believeth on Him shall receive remission of sins" "To Him bear all the prophets witness" The writings of the prophets back up the claims that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah (Acts 17:2; Luke 24:27; 44-45). "Everyone" Jew or Gentile. No predestination here. "That believeth on Him" Faith in this passage is connected with the remission of sins, and so is repentance (Luke 24:47); and baptism (Acts 2:38). Therefore the faith mentioned in this passage is much more than just an inwardly held conviction (John 12:42). The faith mentioned here naturally includes obeying whatever Divinely given conditions must be met to be saved. "Shall receive remission of sins" Jesus is not only the Judge, He is also the Savior.
