In the spiritual world the justice system created by God has three witnesses on earth. These witnesses are the spirit, the blood and the water. These three give an account of our deeds and our thoughts and they are the witnesses that would be called on our day of judgment. Blood and water are physical for man to see and agree to what took place.
In the bible in the first epistle of John it is written: 'This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and blood.' In another passage the Lord teaches us that: 'except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.' Accepting our Lord's presence on earth is the first proof of acceptance of God in our lives. Our baptism with water in Christianity is following in his footsteps and further accepting his presence.
In the bible it is also written that: 'And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.' Our spirits represent the truth for they belong to God. The spirit bears witness for the Lord and cannot lie to any situation so that, that which is hidden from man is brought to light before God. The spirit is the final witness as it dictates man's thoughts and man is judged before the Lord not only by his deeds but by his thoughts. This is another characteristic that illustrates the intriguing nature of the spiritual world. As we know man's thoughts change from second to second and man is constantly seeking the needs of the heart. If our Lord judged us solely by the evidence of blood samples as we do to ourselves then how can he really know the truth behind the thought of what happened? The spirit is like a hidden camera in the dark that watches man wherever he is, whatever he is doing and whatever he is thinking. The spirit is that part of man that is invisible and so man cannot dictate its actions.
In the bible it is written: 'For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 'And there are three that bear witness in earth, The Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.' It also teaches us that it is not sufficient to have the witness of men for our deeds for the witness of God is greater and is a testimony of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
