1 John 5:6-12

Listen to 1 John 5:6-12

Testimony about Jesus

6 This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 The three are testifying—

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and the three are united in agreement.

9 If we receive human testimony, God's testimony is greater, because this is what God testified: he has testified about his Son.

10 The one who believes in God's Son has the testimony within; the one who doesn't believe God has made God a liar, because that one has not believed the testimony that God gave about his Son.

11 And this is the testimony: God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son.

12 The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn't have God's Son does not have 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 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.
