The Testimony - 1 John 5:10-13

1 John 5:10-13 ESV 


Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.


When we believe in the Son, we are given and sealed with the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit we have been raised from death into the life of God. 


The Spirit is one with Christ, and though Jesus rose bodily into heaven, His Spirit remains. We have inherited the incarnation of the body of Christ, and will one day receive our inheritance of heaven. The seed of God has multiplied over the face of the earth and will until the time comes for the revealing of the sons of God.


We have the testimony within us. Listen to the word. 


"Whoever has the Son has life."


Having the Son is not based on how you feel, but what you know. We know this to be true.
