Your Testimony Is Proof That Jesus Is God's Son And The Risen Savior 1 John 5:7-10 7For there are three that testify: 8the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9We accept human testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. 10Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony.
