1 John 5
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
I feel a little torn in uncertainty, why am I not more confident and certain of knowing that I have eternal life?
I feel weighed by pride in my heart mixed with depression and so I don't feel I can think clearly to have confidence.
But I trust not in my own ability to be in God but in God's commitment to me:
1 John 5
18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
God remind me of the spiritual reality of Boulder, this world, ministry and how the devil wants to kill steal and destroy and he does have some power here. But also remind me you are greater and will overcome.
Amen
