1 John 5:11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
John couldn't put it any more clearly than that.
Whoever has the Son has life.
Whoever does not have God's Son does not have life.
Who is Jesus?
Your answer to that question determines your eternity.
v13 I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.But John is blunt for a reason. He wants us to know, God wants us to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we can be secure in the knowledge that He has saved us.
This is a precious truth that friends and family are clinging to this week at the passing of two fellow believers who have fought the good fight, who have finished the race, and who have kept the faith. We are secure in the hope that we have, knowing they are safe in the arms of Jesus today and always.
