“If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself; he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.” God has so arranged the plan of salvation that the individual who receives the living Word, the blessed Bible, into his heart, has a witness to the truth that is beyond the powers of controversy. He has the witness in himself down deep in his heart, beyond all of the cavilings of men. He has a personal knowledge of the personal Christ. He knows for himself that God’s word is true. Men may dispute and argue against him, but their disputing and arguing does not change the fact of his definite personal knowledge. We know our personal friends; and for a stranger to seek to convince us that there are no such individuals, would seem to us not only childish but imbecile. And to the individual who knows Christ for himself, the cavilings of an unbeliever who does not know Him appear as the height of folly. Do you know Christ personally? Is He a real friend of yours, or is He only an imaginary character about which you have heard but do not really know? Do you have, through the living Word, and by the operations of the divine Spirit, the witness in yourself?
