John 3:34

"He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true."

Key Reflection

This verse signifies that those who accept Jesus' testimony and believe in him are affirming the truthfulness of God's Word. By receiving Christ’s message, they acknowledge and verify that God is indeed faithful and reliable.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 34. Whom God hath sent. The Messiah. Speaketh the words of God. The truth, or commands of God. For God giveth not the Spirit. The Spirit of God. Though Jesus was God as well as man, yet, as Mediator, God anointed him, or endowed him with the influences of his Spirit, so as to be completely qualified for his great work. By measure. Not in a small degree, but fully, completely. The prophets were inspired on particular occasions to deliver special messages. The Messiah was continually filled with the Spirit of God.
