Read 1 John 5:1-10

And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony. - 1 John 5:6 (NLT)

The apostle John encourages us to believe that Jesus is truly God as well as truly human. At his baptism, the Father declared that Jesus was his Son, and after his crucifixion God again declared him God (thus still perfect and holy) by raising him from the dead. But beyond mere factual belief, we are encouraged to trust in Jesus’ saving sacrifice, to believe and confess that we needed His intervention because that is the only way we could have eternal life. Praise God that Jesus was faithful; may we continue to faithfully trust in Him.
