“And this is the testimony: God has given us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who
does not have the Son of God does not have life. 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.” (1 John 5:11-13)
All
who believed in the Son of God (Jesus Christ),received and accepted Him (John
1:12) as Lord and Savior become the children of God. If you have Jesus, you
have life. Not temporary life, but eternal.
God wants us to have assurance of our salvation. We cannot live our Christian lives wondering and worrying each day whether or not we are truly saved. That is why the Bible makes the plan of salvation so clear. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved (John 3:16; Acts 16:31).

If
you believe that Jesus is the Savior, that He died to pay the penalty for your
sins, you are saved (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)?
Assurance
means “having been put beyond all doubt.” By taking God's Word to heart, you can “put
beyond all doubt” the fact and reality of your eternal salvation.
Jesus Himself affirms this regarding those who have believed in Him: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand” (John 10:28-29).

God bless you.
