1 John 5:11: And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
This gift is received by faith. God has gone on record in His Word as offering eternal life to those who will believe on Jesus Christ. Millions of Christians have proved that God’s record is true. Not to believe it is to make God a liar. And if God is a liar, nothing is certain. God wants His children to know that they belong to Him. John was inspired by the Spirit to write his Gospel to assure us that “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.” 1
Loving Him
Why did God give us a written testimony? How do you know that His testimony is true? (read John 19:33-35). Who is the only one that can offer eternal life? Where is eternal life found? Is there such a thing as eternal death? Who offers eternal death? Is the determination of eternal life or eternal death made on earth while you are still alive? Do you have a choice in the matter? Are you certain you have made the right choice?
These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31
