Who are you going to believe?
As John’s letter draws to a close, the question is who are you going to believe God or man?
I think this is very relevant to all of us this morning.
The world is very loud and in your face isn’t it?
You are not left to wonder what the world thinks about any cultural issue do you?
Gender, sexuality, mission, the gospel.
Why should we seek the Lord in His Word and make sure we are siding with Him and not the World?
In a recent poll, only 37% of pastors have a biblical world view.p
Let’s dig into our text and find out.
Turn with me to first John chapter 5 look at verse 9
Do you remember how important witnesses are from last week?
Why are witnesses important?
They help us determine the truth right?
So what rule did God set in place to help us establish the truth from human witnesses?
According to God’s law, you need at least two witnesses to establish the truth but three is better.
So as we examine verse 9 what is John saying?
Do you see John’s argument?
If we establish truth from 2 or 3 human witnesses how much greater is God’s testimony?
Look with me at Hebrews chapter 6
How awesome is that?
Has your fellow man ever lied to you? Has you fellow man ever let you down?
Of course we have all been lied to and we have all been let down by people not keeping their word why is this so important?
Was does the character of God matter?
Because you are here this morning because God is faithful you are here this morning because God’s promises are sure.
Remember the promise of God?
or how about the words of Jesus
If you believe the testimony of God concerning His Son what is your reward?
Eternal life and who can snatch you out of His hand?
NO ONE Amen?
We see John reiterating the mysterious truth again If you believe you have the testimony living in you what is the testimony that lives in?
The Holy Spirit right?
You just need to make sure you are feeding Him with time In the Word of God and prayer right?
And then He will lead you and guide you and convict you and when you don’t know what to pray He will intercede for you right?
What power you have at work in you this morning!
Are you using it?
So John says that if we don’t believe God’s testimony we make God a liar and as we looked at earlier is that possible?
No so it is foolish for us to resist God or deny what He has said in Hid Word why?
Because God does not and can not lie!
Satan is the liar
Stop and think about this when you are tempted to stretch the truth or hide the truth or flat out lie who are you serving?
John closes this section by telling us what this testimony is he is talking about.
The gospel does not get any clearer than this?
Do you have the Son? Do you believe everything that God revealed about Himself in His Word do you believe all God’s testimony about His Son.
Do you love His Word Do you love His commands
Did you catch how to test your heart, how you know if you delight in His law?
The Psalmist says that if you delight in the law of the Lord than you will meditate on it day and night.
Are you living in this book?
If you want our neighborhood to change you must live in this book if you want our country to change you must live in this book.
Don’t resist the Holy Spirit this morning fall in love with His Word!
The gospel is simple believe the testimony of God about His son and what will God give us
John tells us in verse 13 why did he write this letter?
John wants us to know that if we genuinely believe you will have eternal life and know one can snatch you out of God’s hand but don’t forget all of John’s prior warnings.
