As we’ve come to the end of this book, we find that the Apostle John delineates his purpose here in the epilogue when he explains, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). He provides us with four tests that enable us to have assurance in our salvation. They are: 1) do I obey God and His Word, 2) do I trust God completely, 3) do I love others as God loves, and 4) do I experience the indwelling of His Holy Spirit? In our sermon last week, we explored this verse (and the few that follow it) and considered how we might walk confidently in God’s Light and Love. We determined that we should have confidence in our salvation and confidence in our prayer. Today, we want to take a few minutes to consider the last three aspects of this passage—confidence in our admonition, confidence in our standing and confidence in our understanding.
