Ep 241 – 1 John 5:6-12 PT 3

This is the third episode on 1 John, chapter five, verses 6-12 and its' called, "Internal Evidence". As John continues to litigate Jesus' claim to be the Son of God and the long-awaited Messiah, he will call the Holy Spirit as witness. And because each and every believer in Jesus Christ has the Spirit of God living within him, this testimony is internal, not external. We have living proof, living inside us. The indwelling Spirit of God provides us with daily, irrefutable evidence that Christ was exactly who He claimed to be. His Spirit within us testifies directly to us. As John says, "Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself" (1 John 5:10). We don't have to go far. We don't even have to look outside of ourselves. We have the transformative power of God residing within us. And that could only mean one thing. Jesus was the Son of God and the Savior of the world. And when He promised to give us the Spirit to live within us, He had meant it and delivered on it.
