True Life: 1 John
True Life in God’s Son, Part 1
1 John 5: 13-17
Knowing you have eternal life, pray with confidence according to God’s will

1 John 5: 13-17
13 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. 14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. 16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

1) If you believe in the truth about God’s Son you may know you have eternal life, 5:13.

2) Our confidence toward God is that He answers our prayers according to His will, 5:14-15.

3) Ask God to give life to those who commit sins not leading to death, 5:16-17.
