Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 John 5:8

And for the three that are said to bear witness on earth; there is, first, the Spirit, who, though the Holy Ghost were in the former triad, needs not here be taken for another Spirit, but may be the same, considered under another notion, and as testifying in another manner; not transiently and immediately from heaven, as there, but statedly, and as inacting instruments here on earth; extraordinarily, the man Christ Jesus, all his apostles and first disciples, in all the wonderful works which... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 John 5:4-8

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 John 5:4. Overcometh the world.—The world is regarded as the sphere of the self-seeking principle. He who is born of God is born into another sphere—the sphere of the God-seeking principle. And the higher overmasters the lower, τὸν κόσμον; the present order of things as opposed to the kingdom of Christ. Victory that overcometh.—R.V. “hath overcome” (Romans 8:2). Our faith.—Which unites us to Christ, and makes us participators in His victory.1 John 5:6-7.—In R.V. 1... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:6-8

1 John 5:6-8 The Spirit, the Water, and the Blood. I. Consider the testimony of the water. I believe that the reference here is exclusively to baptism the baptism of Jesus Himself, and probably also the baptism which He instituted, and which remains as a permanent ordinance in connection with His name. This is the testimony of the water. Jesus, the Christ, came not by water only; but He did come by water. He was baptised by John in the Jordan. The importance attached by the Evangelists to the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:6-11

1 John 5:6-11 The Witness of Christ. "Witness!" The word in its emphatic recurrence is typical of the situation out of which the Epistle springs. The special perils and anxieties with which the Church is now beset are changed from those with which we are familiar in the earlier epistles of St. Paul. And it may be worth our while to remind ourselves of the contrast. There the effort had been to get the message itself of Christ out in its distinct and native force; to disentangle it from the... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 John 5:8

The Three Witnesses A Sermon (No. 1187) Delivered on Lord's-Day Morning, August 9th, 1874, by C. H. SPURGEON, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington "There are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." 1 John 5:8 . CHRISTIANITY PUTS FORTH very lofty claims. She claims to be the true faith, and the only true one. She avows her teachings to be divine, and therefore infallible; while for her great Teacher, the Son of God, she... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:1-21

Chuck SmithWhosoever believes that Jesus is the Messiah is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him ( 1 John 5:1 ).So I say, "I love Jesus. He is the Messiah. Yes, I'm born again. Oh, and how I love Him." Well, if I love Him who has begotten me into this new life, then I will also love those who have been begotten--the family of God, my brothers and sisters in Jesus.And by this we know [another proof of how we know what we know, by this we... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 John 5:1-21

1 John 5:1-5 . Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. The faith which embraces him as the Lord of glory, has a regenerating influence on the heart. The immediate fruit is love to God, and to his children; love is the test of the change, for before conversion we regarded them with indifference or contempt. And this is the proof and demonstration of our love to God, that we keep his commandments, which to the regenerate are not grievous; for then we delight in the law... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 John 5:7-8

1 John 5:7-8For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost The Scriptural doctrine of the Trinity not repugnant to sound reasonI.I shall attempt to show what conceptions the Scripture leads us to form of the peculiar mode of the divine existence.1. The Scripture leads us to conceive of God, the first and supreme Being, as existing in three distinct persons. The one living and true God exists in such a manner that there is a proper foundation in His... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 John 5:8

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Ver. 8. The Spirit and the water ] The Spirit of sanctification testified by saving graces and new divine gifts, the water of repentance, and the blood of Christ applied by faith. These be the three witnesses of a man’s happiness here. When the waters of sanctification are troubled and muddy, let us run to the witness of blood. read more
