Worldly concerns keep many people from understanding 1 John 5:5-13. “Beloved: Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is The Son of God?”
Then, John tells us this about Jesus: “This is The One Who came through water and Blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and Blood.”
“Water” symbolizes The Sacrament of Baptism in “The Name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” “Blood” reminds us of the “Blood” Jesus shed at His Crucifixion and the “Blood” provided in The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 14 times: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”
Those who do not respect Jesus enough to receive That Holy Food suffer from “Confusion Headaches” caused by their aching souls! They last forever for those who do not repent their refusal to Be Catholic before they die.
May all believers realize that John tells us Catholics are blessed by The Holy Spirit! “The Spirit is The One Who Testifies, and The Spirit is truth. So, there are three who testify, The Spirit, the water, and The Blood, and the three are of one accord.”
John tells us who can Be Catholic! “If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is even greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that He has testified on behalf of His Son.”
Those who are blessed to listen to The Holy Spirit know The Church-Creating “testimony” of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope is God’s Truth: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
What about those who accept that “testimony”? By receiving Catholic Communion, “Whoever believes believes in The Son of God has this testimony within himself.”! Is there a better reason to Be Catholic and receive the Body and “Blood” of Jesus Christ “within” us?
What about those who reject having that “testimony within”? The Bible’s answer: “Whoever does not believe God has made Him a liar by not believing the testimony that God has given about His Son.”
Then, we are told again to be Catholic and receive Communion! “And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever possesses the Son (by receiving Catholic Communion!) has life; whoever does not possess The Son of God does not have life.”
We pray that all will be blessed with at least a last-minute repentance for “not believing the testimony that God has given about His Son.” and be blessed to “Die Catholic”.
