Believing and Knowing
1 John 5:9-10
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son.…


Two and two make four — that is mathematics; hydrogen and oxygen in certain proportions make water — that is science; Christ and Him crucified is the power and wisdom of God for salvation — that is revelation. But how do you know? Put two and two together and you have four; count and see. Put hydrogen and oxygen together and you have water; taste and prove. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved; believe and thou shalt know. The last is as clear a demonstration as the others.

(G. F. Pentecost, D. D.)
