1 John 5:7: For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
The Law required two or three witnesses for a matter to be settled. The Father witnessed at the baptism and at the cross, and the Spirit witnesses today within the believer. The Spirit, the water, and the blood settle the matter: Jesus is God.
We receive the witness of men, so why should we reject the witness of God? People often say, “I wish I could have faith!” But everybody lives by faith! All day long, people trust one another. They trust the doctor and the pharmacist; they trust the cook in the restaurant; they even trust the fellow driving in the other lane on the highway. If we can trust men, why can we not trust God? And not to trust Him is to make Him a liar! Jesus is God: this is the first Christian certainty, and it is foundational to everything else. 1
Loving Him
How does the Holy Spirit bear witness on earth that you are actively seeking to do the will of the Father, by ministering the words of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit? How well are you fulfilling the command each day to be His witness throughout the world?
One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established. Deuteronomy 19:15
Loving Others
Since the Trinity in heaven is in complete unity, so should His church on earth. – TWEET IT
