Three That Beareth Record In Heaven
Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: To establish there are three that bear record in heaven; the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit regarding the truth. It is the Spirit's witness that has granted unto us the "message of salvation, and the hope of eternal life."
B. Remarks.
1. The Father bared record in heaven regarding the truth. David said: “Forever O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven,” Psalms 119:89. The truth is settled, recorded and certified in heaven. The Plan of God was to unfold the message of truth to the world regarding the “truth which is after godliness” before the world was founded. It was conceived by God; commission by God and committed unto the holy Apostles by the commandment of God,” Titus 1:1-3.
2. The Word bared record in heaven regarding the truth. Jesus speaking to Pilot said: “My kingdom is not of this world...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice,” John 18:36-37. Jesus speaking to his disciples said: “I am the way, the truth and the life,” John 14:6. John wrote: “Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ,” John 1:17.
4. The Holy Ghost bared record to the truth. Jesus speaking to his apostles said: “Howbeit when He the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth...He will shew you things to come,” John 16:12-15. The entire truth was not yet made manifested; part revealed by the Father unto our fathers; another by the Word to His disciples and the world, and the final pieces to be revealed by the Holy Spirit unto “the holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” The Spirit beareth witness of the truth, because the Spirit is to make know the truth in the “dispensation of the grace of God” unto the world.
