‏ 1 John 5:10

The Believer's Privilege.

This section explains the special blessings that come from believing in Jesus Christ. John teaches that true believers have a personal experience of faith, which gives them confidence and hope. He also shows that rejecting Jesus is a serious sin, because it means calling God a liar. Finally, John explains that eternal life is a gift from God, given to us only through his Son, and that believers can be sure of this life.

v. 10: John says, He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself . A real Christian not only believes the message about Jesus but also has a personal testimony inside. The believer knows the power of Christ to forgive, give peace, and change hearts. If someone does not believe God’s message about his Son, they make God a liar by refusing to trust his testimony.
