BIBLE STUDY

1 JOHN 5: 6-8

“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.”

 

  • Whoever believes that Jesus Christ is begotten of Him (God the Father)

IS BORN OF GOD.

  • HOW we know that we are born from God (i.e. children of God)?

WHEN we LOVE God

  • HOW we LOVE God?

BY KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS

 

  • Whoever born of God OVERCOMES THE WORLD (I.e all the devil’s works and temptations).

HOW we overcome the world?

BY OUR FAITH (in Jesus Christ),

Faith means that we accept Jesus in us and so we OVERCOME THE WORLD as HE did OVERCOME the devil on the cross.

  • AND THIS THE VICTORY.

 

  • He who overcomes the world believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God

 

  • God the Father Himself has beared witness that Jesus is His Son(begotten of Him) in heaven and on earth.

 

  • The 3 witnesses in heaven are:

 

1- The Father  2- The Word 3- The Holy Spirit

 

  • The Father:

2 Peter 1:17 “For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.”

John 8: 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

 

  • The Word:

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.”

John 8: 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

 

  • The Spirit:

John 15:26 “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.”

 

The 3 witnesses on earth are:

 

1- The HOLY SPIRIT

(Mathew 3:16-17) “ ….. the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying,” This is My Son, in whom I am well pleased”.

 

 2- The WATER

(Mathew 3:16) When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. “

  • 3- The BLOOD

(Mathew 26:27 -28) Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

 (Mark 14:24) And He said to them, “This is My blood of the [g]new covenant, which is shed for many.
