John 21:30,31 Now there are many other signs, not written in this book, which Jesus did in the presence of his disciples; but these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, believing, you may have life in his name.
We see John's purpose in these verses. That we may believe that Jesus is the Christ and that believing we may have life in his name. Through out John we see witnesses and testimonies to who Jesus Christ is. We have the seven signs, the seven I Am's, Jesus testifying of himself, disciples and others testifying that He is son of God. All these things are written that we would believe in Jesus.
There is another component of this. When we believe we have life in his name. So there is a witness so that we would believe and life would be imparted to us.
