Read 1 John 5:9-13
9We believe human testimony; but God’s testimony is much
stronger, and he has given this testimony about his Son. 10So all
who believe in the Son of God have this testimony in their own hearts; but
those who do not believe God have made him out to be a liar, because they have
not believed what God has said about his Son. 11The testimony is
this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. 12Whoever
has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have
life.
13 I am writing this to you so that
you may know that you have eternal life—you that believe in the Son of God.
Think
From 1 John 4:1 John invites the congregation to be discerning in what it
accepts and rejects. Test the Spirits he
instructs them. The Spirit that is from
God produces Christ like love in the heart; this is how we know that we truly
believe in him and belong to him.
Pray
Lord help me to know that I belong to you - produce your likeness, your
love in me.
