Our Confidence
Our confidence of eternal life lies in the word and promise of the Heavenly Father. He has given life in Jesus (1 John 5:11). He will give eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 3:16). We need not fear the condemnation of hell (Romans 8:1). Therein is peace for the troubled conscience. The victory belongs to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). What must we do? Only believe (Acts 16:31). Our Lord promises in His Holy Word that all who repent and believe shall be saved (1 John 1:9). To such belong these precious promises (John 11:25-26).
1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 16:3 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved and your house.
1 John 1:9 If we confess or sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John 11:25-26 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.
