He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1 Jn 5:10 KJV
Have You Got It?
Nobody can argue with the Living Word: The LORD Jesus Christ.
Many have tried: All have failed to prove Him wrong, and instead proved themselves liars.
The written word of God declares a solemn fact, 1 Jn 5:10 KJV;
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself.
That Ye May Know
Locate that witness in yourself right now.
Every Bible Christian, each saved person, knows that Witness in himself or herself: It is the first evidence of salvation, and comes the instant a sinner repents and believes on Christ as LORD. That is why the Holy Ghost points us to that witness as soon as He indwells our heart, 1 Jn. 5:9-13 KJV;
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
If you do not have the witness, then you are unsaved, still in your sins, and need to be born again the Bible way.
It is The Witness of Almighty God
Contemplate and rejoice, or perish in unbelief.
In the preceding two verses God lists His Six Witnesses, 1 Jn 5:7-8 KJV;
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Oh Glory what a word! No wonder the Devil tries his utmost to remove it from the Holy Bible, but he’s failed.
Those are the very words of our Creator to each creature He has made.
The three heavenly witnesses bear record from eternity to eternity, and the three are one. Amen!
The three earthly witnesses also agree in one.
Notice a single witness is located in the believer, the spirit; God put’s the Holy Spirit right inside the believer’s spirit. It is the inner witness (see Rom. 8:16, Eph. 3:16, 1 Jn. Ch. 3 KJV), the hidden man of the heart (1 Pe. 3:4 KJV), the testimony of God that the believer has His Life, and believes on the Name above all names.
The water, refers to the amniotic water which bore Christ into this world, proving God was born of Flesh. That Jesus was human, Christ, and LORD.
The Blood refers to the sinless Blood of God; shed for the redemption of the world at Calvary, spilled onto Jerusalem’s soil, taken by the Resurrected Christ and placed on the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies in Heaven.
Where it ever speaks, Heb. 12:24 KJV;
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
God’s Testimony Inside
Locate the inner witness in your heart now.
It is a deep inner knowing of these divinely implanted facts;
- You have eternal life inside you.
- You have God’s life empowering you to fulfil His Will.
- You have the Holy Ghost, the exact same Spirit of the Son of God, living and leading you in your heart.
- You have divine confidence in the Name of the Son of God: The LORD Jesus Christ.
Believing on The Name
Father wants you to know that you can believe on the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ.
Believing on the Name is far more than merely believing in Jesus as your Saviour.
Sadly, many people claim to have ‘Jesus as their Saviour’, whilst actually rejecting Him as their Lord.
They live how they please, not as Father pleases.
They do what they want: Not what God wants.
Are they saved?
Are they Christian?
Not according to the Only Saviour, Mt 7:21-23 KJV;
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Claiming Him as Lord whilst rejecting His lordship is plain hypocrisy.
Suchlike do the works of iniquity: Not the works of Christ.
Make sure the LORD Jesus Christ is your LORD
