MESSIAH
5:11-21
And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have
God’s Son does not have life.
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. And we are confident that he
hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we
know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will
give us what we ask for.
If you see a fellow believer sinning in a way that does not lead to death,
you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that
leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit
it. All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.
We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for
God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. We
know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under
the control of the evil one.
And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship
with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ.
He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in
your hearts.
