Hello Mommabps, You are correct in that it is the Holy Spirit. John Gill: hath the witness in himself; of the need he stands in of Christ, and of the suitableness, fulness, and excellency of him; the Spirit of God enlightening him into the impurity of his nature, his impotence to do anything spiritually good, his incapacity to atone for sin, and the insufficiency of his righteousness to justify him before God Jameson, Fausset, Brown: God’s Spirit dwelling in him and witnessing that "Jesus is the Lord," "the Christ," and "the Son of God" (1John 5:1,5). The witness of the Spirit in the believer himself to his own sonship is not here expressed, but follows as a consequence of believing the witness of God to Jesus’ divine Sonship. Steve |
