“The Testimony of God” - Dr. Doug Melton

  1 John 5:1-12

1. “This is He” — The Son of God is Jesus Christ.

  Does your life give evidence that “this is He?”

  Does your life give evidence that “this is He who came“ into your heart?

2. “This is He who came” — Historical, human event with spiritual, divine significance

  Jesus is eternal, pre-existent -

“He who comes after me ranks before me, because He was before me.“

John 1:15

  Jesus is supremely worthy -

“He who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.“

John 1:27

  Jesus alone satisfies spiritual hunger -

  “When the people saw the sign that He had done, they said, ‘This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!’ “

John 6:14

  Jesus brings the dead to life -

  “She said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.’ “

John 11:27

  Jesus saves -

  “So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, crying out, 'Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!'“

John 12:13

3. God has given us three who testify.

  A. Water - The baptism of Jesus; the beginning of His ministry

  B. Blood - The crucifixion of Jesus; the finishing work of His ministry

  C. The Spirit - The empowering of Jesus; the perfect work of His ministry

4. Do you have the testimony in you?
