1 John 5:11 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. This is the record - The great truth to which the Spirit, the water, and the blood bear testimony. God hath given us eternal life - a right to endless glory, and a meetness for it. And this life is in his Son; it comes by and through him; he is its author and its purchaser; it is only in and through Him. No other scheme of salvation can be effectual; God has provided none other, and in such a case a man's invention must be vain.
