My Note: Three are one Ref. Scripture 1 John 5:7-8
Three are one in heaven and three agree in one on earth.
Scripture: 1 John
5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and
the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
8 And there are three
that bear witness in earth, the Spirit,
and the water,
and the blood:
and these three agree in one.
Complete text: 1 John 5:6 ¶This
is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only,
but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because
the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record
in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.
8 And there are three that bear witness
in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree
in one.
9 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.
This takes deep thinking to understand, but just as in heaven the Father, and the Word (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit are one, so on earth the Spirit, and the water (our flesh body), and the blood (our life) agree in one.
John 1:1 ¶In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 ¶And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended
it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Yes, Jesus is the Word.
John 3:1 ¶There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi,
we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these
miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is
old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into
the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so
is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things
be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel,
and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know,
and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Yes, water represents our flesh bodies.
Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
Yes, the life of animals, and we are animals, is in the blood.
Let's read it again.
1 John 5:7 For there are
three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and
the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
1 John 5:8 And there are
three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit,
and the water,
and the blood:
and these three agree in one.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
