THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE


This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. I John 5:6-8

The Spirit, the water and the blood each bear witness in the earth; they proclaim that Jesus is Lord.  The Spirit dwells within the believer letting us know that we are His.  The water of redemption flows forth for our sanctification, proclaiming the cleansing power of Christ and life anew in Him.  The blood of Christ was shed for our salvation; for "without the shedding of blood  is no remission" (Hebrews 9:22).
Today, let us agree with these three: Jesus is Lord!
