21951 John 5:13
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.
Bible Reading for A Year:[bible]Psalm63[/bible];[bible]0Mark13[/bible];[bible]Hosea6-7[/bible]
When writing a letter to the early church , the apostle John wanted to make something very clear : God offers His children an eternal life. Men and women in Christ should not fear to any physical death, because their lives are safe in Jesus .
Verse which became the core of God’s word today is so unique because John directly stated his purposes in writing . And when we read 1 John 5:13 , we know that he wanted to strengthen believers about the eternal life in Christ .
The base of the truth is located on :
1 . The promises of God are not changed . Many times in the Gospels and epistles, the apostle states that the certainty of God is never end. For example, he cited Jesus's promise about the eternity in [bible]0John3:16[/bible],[bible]0John6:40[/bible], and [bible]0John10:27-30[/bible].
2 . God's love is unconditional . Father loves us so that He wants something that is eternal. It is about the intimate relationship with each of us . In order to get this, He showed His love in an extraordinary way: by providing our salvation at a great price ([bible]roman5:6-11[/bible],[bible]roman8:33-39[/bible]).
3 . The work of Christ on the cross . By offering His life as a sacrifice for our names, Jesus provided the means of salvation once and for all . Our part is to receive the gift that is freely given ([bible]hebre10:23-28[/bible]).
4 . Witness of the Spirit of God to our hearts . Father put His Holy Spirit within each believer to testify about the truth of our salvation ([bible]roman8:15-17[/bible]).
The Bible tells us that we can have a complete assurance of salvation in Jesus Christ. Is your daily life reflect this belief ?
Eternal life is not just a fairy tale. It is real and available to those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku. Saat ini, saya mengundang Engkau, Yesus Kristus, masuk dalam hati dan hidupku menjadi Tuhan dan Juruslamatku. Saya menyerahkan hidupku bagiMu dan melayaniMu.
Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
