V. 10 To re fuse to belive God is tantamount to making Him a liar. What is the record?
V.11 This is God's carte blanche statement. Either it is true or it is not true. The one who said it validates the statement.
V.12 Either we have Christ by faith or we do not have Him. There is no middle ground. Do you have Christ by faith ? Will you believe God?
V. 13 This is the key verse of the epistle . John wrote this epistle that you may believe on Christ and be saved and ,having taken this step ,that you might know you have eternal life. Do you believe God ? it all rests upon whether or not you believe God. This is your surety.
Paul said ,For which cause i also suffer these things; nevertheless , I am not ashamed ;for i know whom i have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which i have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12
