He Hears What Is in His Heart – 1 John 5:13-15
1 John 5:13-15 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask…

Life or No Life – 1 John 5:12
1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. John now reduces the whole matter to one clear dividing line. Not religion or irreligion.

Jesus was always perfect in His…

Heirs of Grace — Titus 3:7
Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Paul now draws everything together with one powerful reminder. “Being justified by his grace.” Justified means declared right with God. Not slowly earning our way there. Not gradually becoming worthy. Declared right because of what…

Knowing Him Now — Titus 1:2
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Paul continues his opening thought by pointing to the great promise behind everything he is doing.

Not Ignorant, Not Hopeless – 1 Thessalonians 4:13
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. Paul shifts the tone here. He has talked about how they lived. Now he talks about how they grieve. “But I would not have you to be…
