6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.
7 There are three that testify:
8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree.
9 If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son.
10 Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
11 And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Christ alone
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
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.
