1 John 5:6–13 Three 1 John 5:6–8 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. John 1:32–34 Then John (the Baptist) gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.” Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” …He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. John 19:33–37 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.” 1 John 5:7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. 1 John 5:10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. The of God 1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. What is eternal life? John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. Eternal life is found in a , not a place. 1 John 5:12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. The for those who believe. 1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. The person who believes in Jesus can that they eternal life. John 5:24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. The kingdom of heaven is a description of Jesus’s future reign on earth… Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Philippians 1:23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; …may Your kingdom come and may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
