1 JOHN 5.10, 11, 12. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witnesse in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a lyar, because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son, &c.
Having showed vers. 6, 7, 8. three witnesses in heaven, and three on earth, that bear witness to the Sonship of Christ, vers. 9, 10. he stirs us up to believe this witness, 1 A minori, If we believe the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. 2 From the Divinity of all those witnesses in our hearts and consciences. 3 From the nearness of this testimony. 4 From the danger that follows the not believing this testimony we thereby make God a liar, and he gives a reason of it, because he believes not the record that God hath of his Son, and he shows what that record is, this is the record that God hath given us of his Son, even eternal life.
