Believe in Eternal Life

1 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.
