One of the most difficult and most direct portions of the New Testament is found in 1 John. The difficult part is in trying to understand the meaning of "...there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, the water, and the blood;..." Many Biblical scholars have worked that statement over and come to various conclusions. But, even more fascinating to me is the "direct" part that is found in I John 5:10. "Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son." As usual, Spurgeon drove this home in a great way when he said this. . “The great sin of not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is often spoken of very lightly and in a very trifling spirit, as though it were scarcely any sin at all; yet, according to my text, and, indeed, according to the whole tenor of the Scriptures, unbelief is the giving of God the lie, and what can be worse?”
