Do You Have the Son?

1 John 5:11-12(NKJV)

11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 

12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 

These two verses really distill it down don't they?  God says eternal life comes from his Son.  If we accept Jesus, we have eternal life.  If we reject Jesus, we don't. 

But how do we know that is true?

Well first off, notice the word used in verse 11.  Testimony.  Let's look at the definition.

tes·ti·mo·ny

1. Law . the statement or declaration of a witness under oath or affirmation, usually in court.
2. evidence in support of a fact or statement; proof.

3. open declaration or profession, as of faith.
4. Usually, testimonies. the precepts of God.

5. the Decalogue as inscribed on the two tables of the law, or the ark in which the tables were kept. Ex. 16:34; 25:16.

You see God didn't just tell us, he testified to the fact.  There is a difference.  So what each and every one of us has to do is determine whether we believe God's testimony or not.  If we don't believe God's testimony then we are essentially saying that God is a liar. 

So where do you stand?  Is God a liar or is His testimony true?  Is Jesus in your life?  If not, why not ask Him in right now?  Dear Jesus….
