1 John 5:8: And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
Indeed, there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three are in agreement. The Spirit’s witness may be thought of as coming through the prophets (including John the Baptist). The Spirit’s witness, then, was augmented by the historical realities involved in “the water” and “the blood.” Both the baptism and the crucifixion of Jesus are strongly attested historical facts. All three witnesses (“water” and “blood” are personified) “are in agreement” that a single divine Person, Jesus Christ, was involved in these events. 1
Loving Him
The Holy Spirit is the witness of heaven so we can be His witness on earth. Do you know how to walk in the Spirit so you can be His witness each and every day? Read Romans 8:1-11 for a very powerful biblical explanation. Then re-read these verses very slowly, and pray for the Holy Spirit to teach you about walking in the Spirit.
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 15:26
