About
believing in Christ…
Dear
friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God †
and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what
pleases him. † And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son,
Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Those who obey his
commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in
us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. † We accept man's testimony, but
God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has
given about his Son. † Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this
testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a
liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
† And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son. † He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the
Son of God does not have life. † 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. †
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything
according to his will, he hears us. †
