Context Readings

God Has Given Us Eternal Life In The Son

10 The person who [sincerely] believes in God's Son has the evidence [of it] within his heart, [confirming God's testimony]. The person who does not believe God [i.e., what He says about Jesus], accuses Him of lying, because he has not accepted the [irrefutable] testimony of God concerning [the identity and mission of] His Son. 11 And this is the testimony [of God]: He gave to us [the hope of] never ending life, and this life is [available through fellowship] in His Son. 12 The person who has the Son [in his heart] possesses this "life;" the one who does not have the Son of God does not possess this "life."
