1 John 5:6-8: This is He who came by water and blood – Jesus Christ, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. There are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

I am of the persuasion that the Blood of Jesus still speaks with supernatural power on earth and in heaven. I am of the persuasion that the Water of the Word of God, the Baptism by Water, and the Water and Blood which flowed from Jesus’ side at the crucifixion still speaks with supernatural power on earth and in heaven. I am of the persuasion that the Holy Spirit continually speaks in supernatural power on earth and in heaven.

Verse 7 is controversial. Some of the newer translations do not agree that it was not in the original manuscript. Others believe the witness of the Blood, the Water and the Spirit is symbolic through communion.

Abel’s righteous blood still speaks. Heb. 12:24: To Jesus the mediator of the new covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
