God's Testimony of His Son
Jesse M. Hendley
First John 5:9
Now, friends, if you have your Bibles, turn with me to First John 5:9, and we want to speak on GOD'S TESTIMONY OF HIS SON. "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, that he that believeth on the Son hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not, God hath made him a liar because he hath not believed the record that God gave of His Son."

MAN IGNORANT OF GOD
The Bible also reveals that SIN has brought about a terrible IGNORANCE of God Himself. Men do not know God. They do not know God as all that He is. They do not know what He is. That is the reason men make idols and worship them. They don't know GOD, or they would never make an idol. Idols of the heathen are idols and gods that they bring up in ...
