"6 This is HE who came by water and blood-JESUS CHRIST; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because "THE SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH".
7 For there are three that testify:
8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of GOD is greater, for this is the testimony of GOD that he has borne concerning his SON.
10 Whoever believes in the SON of GOD has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe GOD has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that GOD has borne concerning his SON.
11 And this is the testimony, that GOD gave us eternal life, and this life is in his SON.
12 Whoever has the SON has life; whoever does not have the SON of GOD does not have life."
There are times when we hear words that just don't "add up" and we just can't accept them as truth. Those words cannot be arranged to make sense or have meaning to formulate a sentence that expounds the truth. The enemy has always been the master of deceit and he twists words to try to validate his lies. In John 8:44 JESUS says "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
JESUS CHRIST came to earth to provide man his ONLY hope of redemption. Mankind can not perform anything worthy of Heaven. Now, the enemy will attempt to get us to believe that GOD is too loving and kind to relinquish anyone to a place of despair such as hell, but keep in mind JESUS said "he is a liar and the father of lies"! The devil wants us to think "we are not that bad", but when we are compared to GOD's righteousness one blemish of sin leaves us unclean. We must be TOTALLY clean to enter Heaven.,
The SPIRIT of GOD bears witness that JESUS CHRIST is the Son of GOD. If you could have anyone testifying on your behalf, who could be better than GOD HIMSELF? In Mark 1:11 JESUS had just been baptized and the Spirit of GOD said "YOU are my beloved SON; with YOU I am well pleased." For anyone to deny that "THE SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH" is to call GOD a liar (1 John 5:10). GOD bears witness that JESUS CHRIST is HIS SON.
We must realize that we live in a "physical" world and that the enemy would have us believe the lie that if we can't see and feel something then it isn't real. But that is why JESUS said "he is a liar and the father of lies". Scripture declares "THE SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH" and we need to understand and live that TRUTH! The choice is ours to make! You can believe the father of lies, or you can accept "THE SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH"!!!
