God’s testimony greater than anything in this world and in Heaven, which He about His Son.
1 John 5:7–9 (NJB): So there are three witnesses, 8 the Spirit, water and blood; and the three of them coincide. 9 If we accept the testimony of human witnesses, God’s testimony is greater, for this is God’s testimony which he gave about his Son.
What is the testimony God is giving to us is three witnesses, the Spirit, water and blood. The Spirit is the promise of Jesus to us, while he was departed from this world. Whatever the teaching of Jesus is reminding by the Holy Spirit, and He is the One guiding us to the Father through Jesus Christ. Nobody know the Father unless Jesus allows us to know Him, only Jesus know him. This is the work of Jesus fulfilling by the Holy Spirit. Water is symbolizing our baptism, which Jesus took on the Cross by giving his own life, his death by shedding his Blood. These all are his mission entrusted by the Father for him to be fulfilled. Jesus says about this baptism in the Gospel of Luke 12:50 (NJB): “There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!”. The other witness is about the Blood of Jesus, which he shed for all of us to fulfill his promise, to establish the New Eternal Covenant. This is which he said in Luke 22:20 (NJB): This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you. Jesus established the Everlasting Covenant by his own Precious Blood.
Lord, make us faithful to your teaching which you have entrusted to us by your saints and many holy people.
