ACC ~ John 3 v33

THE BELIEVERS’ ASSENT WITNESSES THAT GOD IS TRUE

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: There was no other possible way of showing the impiety of those who do not believe except by making known the glorious achievement of the believers. Evil is a lot easier to see when it is contrasted with good. When you know there is something better out there, it only puts what is worse in starker contrast. If anyone then, John says, has assented to the words of the one who comes from above, he has sealed and confirmed by his understanding that truth is ever near and dear to the divine nature. The opposite is just as obvious because anyone who throws away the faith will most certainly testify, against himself, that God is not true. COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 2.3. [1]
