That You May Know


"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. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked him." - 1 John 5:13-15


If you read the good book, as my father calls it, you will be able to have the confidence in the Lord and believe everything the Bible tells us. In passages throughout the Bible it tells us that we will have eternal life if we believe in the Father and do his word. If you ask anything in his name, and in good reasoning you will receive. If you ask of him to hear you and listen to you in according to his Scriptures, he will listen. Do everything in his name. Do everything for the Lord. Live your life for him.


Read his scriptures and read this Holy Book in order to reassure yourself that he is always there. The Bible was written in order that you believe in Jesus and that by believing you may have life in his name. Keep his name Holy. If anyone ever needs the reassurance that he is there, just pick up a Bible and read. Start anywhere. We are all from God, and we all are his children.


"We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know 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, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols." - 1 John 5:18-21


God is there, he is here. He is real. He is mighty, loving, and strong. Do not be discouraged; believe in his word.


We should all know that our God loves us unconditionally, and he is an accepting God. He will forever love us all; no matter what we will ever do in life he will always love us. We should all know that.


If We May Know is the title for todays topic, and it's says just what it means. If we may know.... God is here. He is everywhere. Never forget that.


God is everywhere, right beside you, behind you, in front of you, and everywhere. Everywhere.


He is in our hearts regardless of whether we want that or not. God is in our hearts, and he wants us to do good.


Make him proud.
I know I'm trying on a daily basis to make him proud, and I will never stop trying.


Will you?

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.

Amen.
