ACCEPT GOD’S TESTIMONY
(You Have Eternal Life)
To the Bible
1 John 5:11 NKJV
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
Lets Talk
A young girl once received a scholarship letter from her dream university. The envelope didn’t contain money or a plane ticket—just written words confirming her full scholarship. She danced, cried, and celebrated. Why? Because she believed the words were true. She hadn’t seen the campus physically or received the benefits yet, but she acted on the words of the university.
In the same way, God has given us His written “Word,” a testimony that we have eternal life through His Son. The New International Version and a few other versions put it more clearly: “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11 NIV).
To get a better understanding of what John was discussing here, you’ll have to read the ninth and tenth verses as well. Let’s read: “We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son” (1 John 5:9-10 NIV).
God’s testimony is that you have eternal life because you have Jesus Christ. You don’t have to feel it to know you have it. All you need is God’s testimony that you already have it. If you don’t accept His testimony, then you make Him a liar, and God cannot lie.
That testimony also says anyone who doesn’t have the Son of God doesn’t have life. The 13th verse in the New International Version is so beautiful. There, the apostle John says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
Glory to God! If you believe in the Name of the Son of God, this was written to you so you can accept God’s testimony, and that testimony is that you have eternal life. Therefore, even now, say with confidence, “I have eternal life because I have the Son of God!” Hallelujah!

Pray
Dear Father, I rejoice in your testimony that I have life because I have Jesus Christ. I walk in this consciousness today as I manifest your divine nature and power. I’m full of life, health and strength, and I live victoriously because eternal life is at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
