The Purpose of the Fourth Gospel

Horrors! Where did the Apostle John fetch this - that a soul must "believe" in Christ and "believe" to have eternal life? That’s a much too difficult thing to do! Isn't it much easier to attend a UOJ "universal objective justification" Lutheran worship service, and get absolved and declared righteous?

Why go to all the trouble believing? Why waste God's time and my time? Why bother the Holy Spirit? Why even assert that personal faith is a necessary on-going working of God's Holy Spirit [in me] for my temporal and eternal welfare? Doesn’t the Holy Spirit deserve a break? After all, He’s done enough establishing the New Testament early Christian church!

P.S. With all facetiousness aside - I don't believe the aforementioned [above] UOJ "universal objective justification" false Gospel representation
