Testimony Concerning the Son of God

1 John 5:6-12 (NLT)

And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony. So we have these three witnesses— the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and all three agree.Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about his Son. 10 All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.
11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
We have been talking about our testimony, our faith story. These verses contain God's testimony about His Son, Jesus. Jesus was baptized in water. He shed His blood on the cross and the Holy Spirit confirms these are true. God has given us eternal life through His Son, but without Jesus we face eternal separation from God.
I pray, friend, that if you do not know Jesus, you will seek out someone to share His story with you today. If you do know Jesus, I pray you will seek out someone with whom to share His story.
Write out your heart's prayer.
