sermonette: The Three Witnesses of Christ
The Meaning of 1 John 5:7-8
David C. Grabbe
Given 06-Aug-05; Sermon #732s; 15 minutes
Description: (hide)
David Grabbe, focusing on three things bearing witness in I John 5:7-8 (after dismissing the spurious words), refutes the notion that the spirit, water, and blood refer to the doctrine of the trinity. The water refers to Christ’s baptism by John in John 1:32. The blood refers to His shed blood spilled out for the remission of our sins in John 19:34, and the Spirit refers to the sending of the Holy Spirit in John 15:26-27. All of these witnesses apply to each of the called out begotten children, illustrating the process of begettal and growth.
