“Verily, verily, Ι say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”¹ Such is the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is the testimony of One concerning whom it is declared, “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”²

It is the testimony of One to whom a distinguished Pharisee confessed, “We know that Thou art a teacher come from God.”³

It is the testimony of One who said, “to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”⁴

It is the testimony of One who exclaimed on the earth, and still exclaims from heaven, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.”⁵

Surely it is testimony worthy of the most careful and respectful attention.
