1 John 5:9 — Community Reflections

1 JOHN 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.”

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 given concerning his Son — belief (pisteuō) in the Son internalizes God's testimony. Disbelief makes God a liar (pseudesthēs), the ultimate blasphemy. The testimony concerns the Son's salvific identity.
