Straight Talk

If you have questions about whether you have eternal life or not…Today’s verses are pretty straightforward.

I need to go back one verse to help with your understanding though.

Verse 11 in the Amplified Classic says, “And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.”

Life in Jesus. Again, it is not magic. It is a belief in what Jesus did for you on the cross. It is confessing it and walking in it. It is making Him Lord and Savior. This is what gives you the confidence of eternal life. You have taken the step of belief in Jesus and continue to believe.

In other words, “you HAVE the Son”. And He has your back in whatever you ask of Him when His Will becomes yours. You begin to understand His Will is for all to go well for you in all areas of your life.

The straightforward truth…Know this…you can have confidence in your prayer life because you have confidence in your life with Jesus. And what you are asking is also what He is wanting for you.

1 John 5:12-13 NKJV

[12] He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. [13] These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. #paulaandthebible #helpforyourdailywalk
