Do you ever wonder if your faith is real? If what you believe about God, Jesus, and salvation is actually working in your
life?
In his letter, the apostle John offers us a spiritual lens to bring eternal life into focus. He presents five indisputable
facts that form the foundation of our faith:
- God gives eternal life
- This life is in His Son, Jesus
- Whoever has the Son has life
- Whoever does not have the Son does not have life
- You can KNOW that you have eternal life
John provides three tests to evaluate the authenticity of our faith:
- The Head Test: What we believe about Jesus
- The Hands Test: How we live like Jesus
- The Heart Test: How we love one another
True faith transforms our beliefs, our behavior, and our love for others. It's not about perfection, but direction.
Remember: If you have the Son, you have life - not someday, but right now. And that life will continue into eternity.
"Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." - 1 John 5:21
