You're welcome, God bless you and may you have PEACE!

The early Christians need to continue constantly reassuring themselves that they have the truth as in God's approval.
God's word said when the Messiah (Christ) walks through the land of Israel, the people will feel the presence of their God whose mighty works of old is known far and wide.
Messiah (Christ) means the person whose work will complete the promises God made to Abraham that all the nations of the earth will be blessed through Abraham's seed. That seed will be the Christ.
But Israelites have waited for generations after generations anticipating the coming of this promised Child. God promised that if they failed to recognize the Messiah (Christ) a sign will follow his departure to make them know that the Messiah has come and gone.
God so much love this nation that he promised to send a forerunner who will prepare the way for this promised Messiah, some men declared themselves as Christ but the promises of God never came through in their cases. But by the time Jesus was about to begin his ministry his cousin John the baptist started shouting "get ready for the arrival of the Messiah" he began baptising the people who are ready to accept what the Messiah is coming to do in their midst.
So when Jesus also came to John for baptism HOLY SPIRIT signaled John that this is the person, immediately John told Jesus that he's not supposed to baptise the Messiah rather it's the Messiah that should baptise him. But Jesus said John "let's fulfil all righteousness " {Matthew 3:15} so John baptized Jesus and instantly as Jesus is coming out of the WATER the SPIRIT landed like a dove on Jesus' head and God spoke from heaven! Matthew 3:17
The Messiah according to God's promise will take away the sin of all people {Daniel 9:24} and God's laws has made Israelites know that for sin to be washed away a blood Sacrifice must take place. After Jesus' BLOOD was shed on the torture stake, God's son declared "Mission Accomplished" {John 19:30} and he died!

So let everyone know that the three EVIDENCES confirming that our hope for everlasting life is sure has been fulfilled!
The
SPIRIT the WATER and the BLOOD! these three are in agreement in the sense that Jesus' the chief cornerstone upon which our faith is built passed through all the three. Therefore everlasting life is certain for all those exercising faith in the name of our Master Lord and King Christ Jesus! John 3:16

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

I am Maximus one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, would you like me to join ongoing discussion?

peggywebbs:
You do realise that's exactly what I said. You should not read deep meanings to everything said in the bible.

The disciples spoke in plain language. You should know that the audience John was speaking to were not educated scholars. They were the local people. He was preaching the gospel in a language they understand.


Water and blood simply means Jesus came as flesh as a man. Everybody has the spirit of God. Now this is different from the holy spirit. It is written that he breathed life into Adam. Everybody has a spirit, we are made up of these three things water, blood and spirit. It is just as simple as it sounds.

Like I said it's just my opinion, I don't the I'm qualified to convince anyone or preach to anybody. I just answered the question of the topic.

peggywebbs:
I'm not sure but I don't think the answer is complicated. This is my opinion on what "spirit, water and blood bear witness on earth" means.

I think that simply means man. We have this three components in us. Our bodies are made up of 75% water, we have blood and spirit. Without these three things we cannot exist.


And we are all witnesses to God almighty as full evidence of his creation. Every living soul is a witness that God truly exists.

Dtruthspeaker:
Grateful to God to be of help!

Dtruthspeaker:
Did you not hear "that the heavens and the earth fled away from His Presence or the hills clapped their hands, Riches certainly make themselves wings and fly away, the stones will rise up and Praise The Lord?

All creations Are Alive and they Live, thus Spirit, Water and Blood are Truly Living Witnesses to the Truth of Any Fact and they can Testify to the Truth thereof Exactly as man does!

Kobojunkie:
1) The Blood and Water are witnesses to your salvation from Death where those who are saved are instead gifted with eternal life(grace), where in addition to believing in Jesus Christ the following are also expected
a)in order to be saved from Death, one should be baptized in water

b) in order to be saved from Death, one needs to eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ


Where the blood is the blood of the agreement, the New Covenant, between God and man, poured out for the forgiveness of sins.


2. The Spirit is the witness for those who are born again. Now the Spirit resides in those of them who are saved and go on to accept and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ i.e. those who are Sons of God.

EvilPOTATO:
Christ is the only way, the truth and salvation

Righteousness2:
That was the Day the Price for the Salvation of ALL Humanity was Settled!

That was the day the Sacrifices of Rams, Chicken, cow and Goat for sin was Terminated.

Precious JESUS Settled it all for all of Humanity that day.
There is no other way for Humanity to be Saved.

All we need as Humans is to Surrender Completely to Him, Accept Him as LORD and Savior and Live our life according to HIS Commandments.

7victor:
Yes.

It was the day that Jesus Christ performed the greatest miracle of all times.

Prior to this day,He had healed all manner of sickness, opened the eyes of the blind, healed the deaf and raised the dead.

But on this day,He spent all the blood in his body to cleanse our sins and reconciled us back to God.

Imagine losing all His blood and dying after severe suffering and pains, but still resurrected again.

That was His greatest miracle:He was able to rise again without any blood in His body, and after having died such a terrible death in order to pay the price of our sins.

Who in this world can perform such a miracle of allowing himself to be severely tortured,lost all his blood, and still be able to rise again without any blood in his body?

Remember without blood in your body, you cannot be alive.

But Jesus Christ exist without any blood in His body.

He spent His blood to save us.

Even in heaven now, His blood exist in case we need it.

We don't need the blood of animals for sacrifice because Jesus Christ blood is available for us.

He has stored His blood in heaven for our own use.

No other person can do this except God Himself.

Jesus Christ is the manifestation of God.

He is the only being that is fully human and fully divine.

He is both God and man.

What a miracle that He should be both God and man.

It's obvious she did it without wanting anything in return.

Keep your rewards and pray for her.

Else, all this nairaland brothers won't hesitate to attach a pink "f" to their moniker.


Blessings don dey follow her already.

1F30M4:
You can keep trying but I'm not sure how this will pan out..

However, I believe God sees your heart and He will definitely bless her immensely, actually you do not know that she has already started receiving her blessings from that very minute she gave it a thought to call you & moreso when she eventually did..

Wherever you are Queen, I join my voice with his to say thank you once again.. We need more of you in this world to make it a habitable place for all of us.. Thank you.
