That You May Know

1 John 5:13 NIV: I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Within a single statement, John clarifies to us his purpose for writing his letter-"that you may know." I recently asked a woman if she was going to heaven. She replied, "I hope so." I asked her how she could go on in such uncertainty regarding her eternal life. She wasn´t sure what to say, but then asked me if I was going to heaven. I simply said, "Yes." She asked, "How do you know?" God wants us to know that we have eternal life. He has told us so in His Word. For those who believe in the name of the Son of God, there is no reason to walk in uncertainty any longer.

Speak the Truth Even If Your Voice Shakes

“The word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:4-9
