1 John 5:1-12

Can I Get a Witness?

We have all seen courtroom dramas where a witness is called to testify. We ourselves may have been a witness to a crime or an historic event, whether it be fantastic or catastrophic. Truthful testimony cannot be underestimated in its value. In his first letter, the Apostle John has continued to return again and again to themes of God’s love and our response – what we might call the “Spiral Staircase of the Christian Life.” He adds in a new theme for chapter 5 – that of belief: the core belief of Jesus as the Christ and how that faith is the means by which we become “born of God.” This belief in the Son is the way to life, and this faith also receives the true testimony of God regarding His Son. Join Pastor Matt as he leads us through the first 12 verses of 1 John 5 and we hear the witness of the Father and the Spirit, testifying about the Son, Jesus Christ.
