1Jo 5:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : There are also three witnesses on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood. The Spirit changes the hearts of believers and helps them obey God ( that which is born of the Spirit is spirit , John 3:6 ). The water shows Jesus’ purity and the power to make people clean, both in his own life and in the lives of his followers. The blood shows his sacrifice for our sins and the love he showed by dying for us. All three agree, proving that Jesus is the Savior ( these three agree in one , 1 John 5:8 ).

v. 8: There are also three witnesses on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood. The Spirit changes the hearts of believers and helps them obey God (that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, John 3:6 ^a). The water shows Jesus’ purity and the power to make people clean, both in his own life and in the lives of his followers. The blood shows his sacrifice for our sins and the love he showed by dying for us. All three agree, proving that Jesus is the Savior (these three agree in one, 1 John 5:8 ^b).
