1John 5:13; 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.
1John 5:13; 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.
Here
let’s read the text in context.
1John
5:9-13:
If we
receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God, which
he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth
not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record that God
hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; [and]
he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 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.
Jesus said in John 14:6; I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
Jesus Christ the Son of God rose from the dead
on the third day as a testimony that He is the resurrection and the life proving undeniable that He has the power and authority
to grant eternal life in God’s kingdom.
And only truedisciplesof Jesus Christ are guaranteed eternal life in the kingdom of God.Listen to Jesus (The Way, the truth and the life) give instructions on finding and
obtaining this precious gift (eternal life).
John
3-18:
Jesus
answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, (Being born
again is a supernatural event performed by the Spirit of God) he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith
unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of]
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born
of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus
answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus
answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We
speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and
ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things? And no man
hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man
which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the
serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
First
Step to becoming TRULY born-again and guaranteed eternal life…Believe in Jesus
Romans
10:13-14
For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Once you believe and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior. The next step is to repent.
Jesus said in Luke 13:3; I tell you, nay: but, except ye repent,
ye shall all likewise perish. According to the scriptures Jesus first preaching message was about repenting from sins.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Repent means to change one’s mind for better, heartily to amend turn with abhorrence
(disgusting) of one’s past sins. Be willing to live your life according to the direction from the words of Jesus.
Now that you have the true knowledge of obtaining eternal life from Jesus Christ the only Savior of souls you have
to make a decision according to the scriptures.
2Corinthians 6:2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted,
and in the day of salvation have I succoured (helped) thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is]
the day of salvation.)
If after reading what Jesus said about gaining eternal life you would like to be guaranteed this life. Pray
this prayer with me. Lord Jesus Christ I believe that you are Lord of all and are fully able to save a sinner like me. Please
forgive me of all my sins and come into my life and be my Lord. Guide me and teach me in your ways through your Holy Spirit
in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Now that you have made this decision to serve Jesus I encourage you to read the bible and pray to your new Heavenly
Father God daily in Jesus mighty name for direction, strength and guidance in all that you do for His glory. Take of your
cross and follow Him.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy (love of man
wisdom) and vain deceit (empty-lies), after the tradition (laws) of men, after the rudiments (principles) of the world, and
not after Christ.
The unrighteous shall not have eternal life in the kingdom of God.
1Corinthins 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Many of the false teachings and cults today to beware of includes Mormons, Jehovah’s witnesses, Muslims, 7th
day Adventists, Catholics, Covetous Prosperity Preachers, OSAO (Once saved always saved), Hinduism, Buddhists, Evolutionists,
Satanist, Wicca, New Age, Secular Humanism, Masons/Shriners, Pre-tribulation Raputure, Judaism, etc.

Bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Except a man is "Truly" born again (By the Spirit of God), he cannot
see the kingdom of God.
Romans 8:9b; Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
