1 John 5:8 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 5:8

The Certainty of God’s Witness

6 This is He who came ^aby water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. ^bAnd it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7 For there are three that bear witness¹ in heaven: the Father, ^athe Word, and the Holy Spirit; ^band these three are one.

8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: ^athe Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

9 If we receive ^athe witness of men, the witness of God is greater; ^bfor this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.

10 He who believes in the Son of God ^ahas the witness in himself; he who does not believe God ^bhas made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
