Subject: God has given to us eternal life |
Bible Note: Hi Susannany, Welcome to the forum. I had intended to have this verse compared/contrasted to 1 John 5:11. 1 John 2:25, NKJ, "And this is the promise that **He has promised us--eternal life." 1 John 5:11, "And the witness is this, that **God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." So I would agree with you that the "He Himself" of the NASB version would be speaking of Jesus. But the comparison indicates to me that Jesus is God. 1 John 2:25 indicates to me that we abide in the Son and in the Father and that they are one. I think that this "oneness" is shown better by the "promise He made to us". God has given us eternal life. He does the works in the Father's name. John 10:28, "and **I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. 30 I and the Father are one." The **stars are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
