1 John 5:9-13

 

How do you know that you know Jesus and possess eternal life (the assurance that you are heaven-bound)?

 

1.  SUBJECTIVE:  Your own “life-change.”                1:3-4

 

2.  OBJECTIVE:  God’s unshakable promise.            5:9-13

 

To be saved, but have no assurance is sad;

To be unsaved, but have a FALSE assurance is tragic!

 

Our assurance of eternal life is not ultimately on our ability to feel different, but on God’s “ability” to keep His promise.
