1 John 5:6-12

Listen to 1 John 5:6-12

6 This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

7 And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is true.

8 There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.

9 If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

10 He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

11 And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

The Witness of Heaven Part 2

John Randall

We take you back into the heavenly courtroom today on a Daily Walk. If you’ll recall, last time we were together the witnesses were called to the stand. The Word, the water, the blood and the Spirit. And they were powerful and convincing. But today we want you to pause and consider whether or not you’ve received and believed these witnesses of heaven? If you haven’t, that can change today. Turn to First John chapter five.

Christ alone

Dr. J. Vernon McGee

The question is do you have Christ? Is He your Savior? Are you trusting Him in such a way that if God would even say to you, “You must have something else,” you’d turn and walk away because you’d say to Him, “I only trusted Christ as my Savior.” My friend, if you haven’t come to that point, you just haven’t come anywhere at all. Because to be saved means you trust Christ, and it means you have Christ as your Savior. “He that hath the Son hath life.” He’s our lifeboat. He’s our lifeline. He’s our only hope. We’re lost without Him. And if we have Him, we have life.

The Witness of Heaven Part 1

John Randall

Pastor John Randall is on the final leg of a journey through First John. And in chapter five you might say we’re entering God’s courtroom! We’ll be considering whether or not the ministry of Jesus is valid! Witnesses are brought to the stand, and this evidence demands a verdict. You’ll be left with undeniable proof that Jesus is the son of God, savior of the world. Will you receive or reject it?

The Word of God cleanses us

Dr. J. Vernon McGee

The only miracle cleansing thing that’s in the world today is the Word of God. It can save you—“…born again not by corruptible seed, but by incorruptible, the Word of God that liveth and abideth forever,” for it presents Christ who shed His blood for your sins and my sins. He died for our sins. He was raised for our justification. The Word of God can keep you clean down here. Now you can spray with every kind of a spray deodorant there is; you can rub it on, you can pour it on. And, my friends, it won’t clean you on the inside. Only the Word of God can keep you clean today.
