John introduces a key phrase that sums up God's revelation to Israel and His revelation through Jesus Christ in one indivisible unit: "the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ" (1:2, NIV).

Christian believers in every age have lived and died, and will in the future die for the gospel testimony of Jesus (Rev. 1:9; 6:9; 12:11; 20:4). Their "testimony of Jesus" is not just the testimony of their personal conversion to Jesus, but their witness to the apostolic gospel; that is, to "the testimony of God" (1 Cor. 2:1, NKJV), or "the testimo...
“The Word of God” in John’s time referred to the Old Testament, and the “testimony of Jesus” to what Jesus had said in the Gospels and through His prophets—such as Peter and Paul. Thus, both genitives can be taken as subjective genitives.
