Christian Devotional – August 4, 2014

Read 1 John chapter 5

VERSE:

1 John 5:13–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.

TRUTH:

In many other religions, the people simply wish they will have eternal life. They think they might. They try and try, but never really know for sure where they stand with their God. However, with the one true God, we can know, confidently, assuredly, know that we have eternal life. No wondering or doubting because God has written these things in His word to us so we can understand exactly how God provides eternal life for us who choose to follow and believe. Do we live today with the confident assurance of knowing we have eternal life?

RESPONSE:

Father, thank You for providing such assurance that I don’t have to wonder or doubt my relationship with You. Through Your Son, You have given eternal life and I am confident that You will do as You say.
