Therefore “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2Timothy 3:16-17). The Spirit moved men to write the scriptures - The Holy Bible, God’s “sure word of prophecy…came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:19-21). Obviously, the Lord knows all whom he has baptized into his body (1 Corinthians 12:13) with the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:11) and every born-again believer knows-by the permanent indwelling of “his Spirit,” that he is in Christ. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). And in his second letter to Timothy, Paul wrote: “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:9). In his letter to the saints at Rome, the apostle Paul wrote: “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. By the Spirit of Christ, God works in every submitted believer, “both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). God’s witness within believers - “Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit” (1John 4:13 14:17). Being born again, the believer is now “a new creature: old things are passed away behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is when, of his own will, God the Father “begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18).
THERE ARE 3 THAT BEAR WITNESS IN HEAVEN FREE
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23), the believer receives “ the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5) also, “ by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1Corinthians 12:13). New life to all believers - Jesus, “the Word of life” (1 John 1:1 John 1:1), declared to the unbelieving Jews: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).Īt the time of this great passing unto life, God delivers the believer “from the power of darkness” and translates him “into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossians 1:13). When God breathed his Spirit into him, “The first man Adam was made a living soul” (1Corinthians 15:45). Life to the first man - When God created Adam (Genesis 1:27), he “ breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). The infusion of ideas into the mind by the Holy Spirit,’ (Noah Webster, 1828): a ‘ noun of action from past-participle stem of Latin inspirare “blow into, breathe upon,”’ (). Inspiration is ‘the act of breathing into any thing. IDENTIFICATION AND MINISTRIES OF THE THREE WITNESSES The three which bear witness in earth are unmistakably and precisely identified by the scriptures: “And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one” (1 John 5:7-8). He is now sitting at the right hand of his “Father in his throne” (Revelation 3:21) in heaven, till the Father makes his enemies his “footstool” (Psalm 110:1 Mark 12:36). In him “dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). Since his glorious resurrection from the dead, the Lord Jesus Christ possesses all power “in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18). “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (1 John 5:7).
