NASB | 1 John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies confidently on Him as Savior] has the testimony within himself [because he can speak authoritatively about Christ from his own personal experience]. The one who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him [out to be] a liar, because he has not believed in the evidence that God has given regarding His Son. |
Bible Question: Please identify the "testimony" or "witness" in this verse. Is this referencing the Holy Spirit? Please see for comparison: Rom 8:16; Heb 10:15; and 1 John 5:6. |
Bible Answer: Hi mommapbs, One of the references for the verse in the NASB Study Bible is Revelation 12:17. Here we see the comparison of those who make Him a liar (1 John 5:10 and John 8:40, 48) and those who accept the testimony of Jesus (Revelation 12:17. There are those who blaspheme **His name (Rev 13:6) and there are those who accept His testimony that "**I do not have a demon". That is what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is all about, that is, saying that Jesus accomplished things through an unclean spirit; lying about His name,authority, and testimony; not being able to hear the words of God because the blasphemer is not of God.
