1 John 5:12-13

¹²He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

¹³I 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.

In this text John indicates that the purpose for which he has written this letter is to give assurance of eternal life to his readers.

• What does John say is the key to being assured of eternal life?
• Upon what do you base any assurance you have that you possess eternal life?
• Take a moment and thank God for the simplicity of knowing we have eternal life.
