God Has Given Us Eternal Life In The Son

9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son. 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son.
