A Truth Worth Everything
In the middle of pressure that no one else sees. In the hollow silence of a room that used to hold voices you miss. In the exhaustion of trying harder and still feeling like it is not enough — there is something you need to hear. Not from a motivational speaker with something to sell you. Not from a friend who means well but doesn't know the depth of it.
From God Himself.
The God who spoke the universe into existence — the same God who holds billions of galaxies in the palm of His hand and counts every star by name — that same God says to you personally: I love you.
You may think: "I know God loves the world in a general sense — but does He love me?" Yes. You. Not the world as an abstract idea. You as a specific person, with a specific name, in a specific situation, in this specific moment.
He Loves You in the Middle of It All
Whatever you are walking through right now — God is not watching from a distance. He loved you before you were aware of it, He loves you now, and He will not stop loving you when circumstances get harder. He feels with you. He carries what you are carrying — even in the moments when you cannot sense it, even when you have shaken your fist at the sky and demanded an answer He did not give on your schedule.
Maybe you have convinced yourself you are unlovable. Maybe the people in your life have given you reasons to believe that. Maybe you are looking at your own failures and finding it impossible to understand why anyone — let alone God — would want anything to do with you.
Here is news that can change your life: He does. And the evidence is not a feeling — it is a fact written in blood on a Roman cross outside Jerusalem two thousand years ago.
A Personal Love — How Do We Know?
How can we be certain this love is personal — not merely philosophical? The answer is in the testimony of the apostle Paul, a man who spent years hunting down Christians and handing them over to be executed. When he met the risen Lord Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, everything changed. And he never described what happened as "God loves humanity." He said it this way:
"Loved me. Gave himself for me." Not for the world as a general category. For me. That man — guilty of real crimes, soaked in the blood of innocent people — knew that the love of God was specific and personal. The same God who loved the apostle Paul loved the woman at the well, Zacchaeus the tax collector, the thief dying on the cross beside Christ, and Nicodemus the respectable religious man who came to ask questions in the dark. He loves you too.
But understanding this love properly requires honesty about two realities: who you actually are, and who God actually is.
He Loves You Despite Your Spiritual Death
The Bible does not flatter us. It tells us the truth about the human condition — and the truth is severe. Every person born into this world carries a spiritual death that runs deeper than any physical problem:
"Dead in trespasses and sins." Not struggling. Not injured. Dead. Spiritually cut off from the source of all life. This means that all the religion in the world — all the prayers and fasting and charitable giving and ritual observance — cannot bridge the gap, because a dead person cannot perform living acts that God accepts. The problem goes deeper than behaviour. It reaches to the root of what you are.
God does not love you in spite of not seeing this reality. He sees it perfectly — every thought, every hidden choice, every word that never made it out of your mouth but formed in your heart. And He loves you anyway. That is not sentimentality. That is the most radical fact in the universe.
He Loves You — But Not at the Expense of His Holiness
Here is where many people's understanding of God's love becomes dangerously incomplete. They picture a grandfather figure who winks at wrongdoing because love means overlooking everything. But the God of the Bible is not that God.
God is holy. Perfectly, absolutely, utterly holy. That holiness is not a limitation on His love — it is the reason His love costs something. A God who simply ignored sin would not be loving you — He would be indifferent to the thing that is destroying you. The holiness of God means sin carries consequences that cannot be waved away. The last pages of human history end at a great white throne:
Heaven and earth flee from the face of His holiness. And God will not compromise that holiness — not even for the people He loves most. That is why another way had to be found.
The Loving God Prepared the Only Way
This is the heart of everything. The eternal Son of God — the Word who was with God and was God from before creation — stepped down from His throne and entered human history:
The One who made the stars was born in a stable. The One who spoke galaxies into existence had nowhere to lay His head. And then — after living a life of absolute purity, never once sinning in thought or word or deed — we did what human beings do with things that are holy and threatening to our comfortable rebellion: we killed Him. We mocked Him, beat Him, pressed a crown of thorns onto His head, and nailed Him to a cross.
And He allowed it. Not because He was weak. Because He loved you:
He who never sinned became sin on your behalf — absorbed the full weight of divine justice for every wrong you have ever done or will ever do — so that you could be declared right before a holy God. He died. He rose on the third day by His own power. And He is the only Person in heaven or on earth who can give a spiritually dead person new life.
New Birth — The One Requirement That Cannot Be Negotiated
Jesus said it plainly to Nicodemus — a respected religious teacher who had studied the scriptures his entire life and was still missing the essential thing:
Not: "You must try harder." Not: "You must follow more rules." Not: "You must be born into the right family or tradition." You must be born again. This new birth is not something you achieve by religious performance — it is something God does in you when you come to Him in genuine faith. It is His work, not yours. And He is ready to do it.
He Loves You and Calls You to Repent
But receiving this new life is not passive. It requires something specific from you — not to earn salvation, but to receive it. The first word of Jesus's public ministry was: repent.
Repentance means a genuine turning — not merely feeling sorry for the consequences of your choices, but changing your mind about who is in charge of your life. It means turning from your own way and toward God's way. And faith means trusting that what Christ did on the cross is enough — completely, finally, eternally enough — to make you right with God.
Nothing you add. Nothing you earn. A gift, received by faith.
He Loves You and Wants to Rescue You from Eternal Fire
The love of God is not merely about making your life better now. It is about rescuing you from something that lasts forever. Jesus spoke about eternal fire more than any other teacher in the Bible — not to terrify but to warn, because warning is an act of love:
God does not desire that end for anyone. He made a way out at incalculable cost to Himself. But He will not override your will. The choice belongs to you:
A Love That Sought You First, before You Knew Him
Perhaps you suppose that you must seek God first, or mend yourself before He will turn toward you. But the biblical truth is far more wonderful than that: God is the one who began. He loved you before you thought of Him, sought you before you sought Him, and stretched out His hand toward you while you were still far from Him. His love is not a reaction to your love, but the initiating, preceding, beginning love.
"He first loved us" — this single word overturns everything you thought about your relationship with God. You were not the one who began. Your love for Him was not what moved His love for you. Rather, His love is the origin, and every love in you toward Him is but an echo of a love that came before you. And the apostle John makes clear where this preceding love appeared:
Consider the order: not that we loved Him and so deserved Him, but that He loved us and so sent. The love did not wait for your worthiness; it preceded you with the redemption. This means you are not called to manufacture a love out of nothing to earn His acceptance — but to receive a love already standing, already offered to you from eternity. God did not wait for you to improve in order to love you; He loved you as you were, and sent His Son to redeem your sins before you ever asked.
An Everlasting Love That Does Not Change with Your Ups and Downs
Human love is unstable: it flares up and then dies down, is given and then withdrawn, attaches itself to beauty or usefulness or mood and vanishes when they vanish. But the love of God is of an altogether different kind — it is everlasting, with no beginning and no end, unaffected by the shifts of your days or the weakness of your performance. God declared through His prophet:
"An everlasting love" — a love no time can reach, no failure can alter, no fall can extinguish. And note the result: "therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." Because the love is everlasting, the mercy became continual. The man who fears that God's love for him will run out at the first mistake has not yet understood the nature of this love. It is not a wage for good behaviour to be withdrawn at bad — it is a love springing from the very nature of God Himself, for God is love.
This does not mean your sin does not matter — it means His love is deeper than your sin. It is a love that hates sin and seeks your repentance, yet does not cease to pursue you. Many have fled from God supposing their sins had made them unlovable — and the truth is that this very everlasting love is the one that pursues them with mercy until they return. However far you have wandered, and however you have fallen, His everlasting love remains offered to you, awaiting your return.
The Measure of Love: Look to the Cross
How do you know the measure of any love? By the price it pays. Words are cheap, but real love is measured by what it is willing to give. And God declared the measure of His love for you not by words alone, but by the costliest price in existence — the blood of His Son. The Lord Jesus Christ said:
The greatest possible love is for a man to die for his friends. But the love of God exceeds even this furthest limit — for Christ did not die for righteous friends, but for enemies who were sinners: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). And the prophet Isaiah, centuries before Christ, described what the Redeemer bore for you:
"Wounded for our transgressions" — every wound He bore was for a transgression of yours and mine. "Bruised for our iniquities" — the crushing that should have fallen on us fell on Him. This is the measure of love: not sentimental words, but blood shed and a body wounded. So if you wish to know how much God loves you, do not look to your circumstances or your feelings — look to the cross. There, on a tree outside Jerusalem, the letter of His love to you was written in letters of blood.
A Love That Is Longsuffering and Wills Not Your Perishing
Perhaps you wonder: if God loves me, why has He not yet taken me to Himself? Why does He leave me in this wandering? The answer is that His delay is not neglect, but longsuffering and love. He gives you time because He does not desire your perishing:
"Not willing that any should perish" — this is God's declared will toward you. Every day that passes without your coming to Him is not proof of His anger, but proof of His patience — another opportunity He grants you to repent and come. And the Lord Jesus Christ painted God's seeking love in an unforgettable image — the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine and goes after the one that is lost:
"Until he find it" — the shepherd does not cease searching until he finds. And perhaps you are that lost sheep, worn out and wandered far, who supposed no one sought him. Know that the footsteps you hear behind you are not the footsteps of an executioner, but of a Shepherd who came out for you in particular, and He will not return until you are upon His shoulders, rejoicing. That is the love of God: it does not merely await your return — it goes out to seek you.
A Love Nothing Can Separate You From
When you come to God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you enter a love that nothing in all existence can separate you from. It is not a love conditioned on your steadfastness, nor suspended upon your performance, but a love that holds you fast by the power of God Himself. The apostle Paul wrote with absolute certainty:
The apostle listed everything that might be feared to separate you from the love of God — death, life, angels, powers, the present, the future, height, depth — and then bolted the door forever with the phrase "nor any other creature." And you, O man, are a creature; so even you yourself cannot separate yourself from this love once you have entered it. What security is this! A love that does not depend on your strength to hold on to it, but on His strength to hold on to you. The child crossing the road holding his father's hand may let his small fingers slacken, but the father's hand does not slacken. So is the love of God: you are held by His hand, not by your grip.
How far this is from the love the world has known — a love earned by work and lost by failure, granted by merit and withdrawn at error. But this love has its source in the faithful, unchanging God, and its guarantee is the blood of Christ whose power never fails. This love awaits you when you come to Him: not a temporary security, but a love nothing can separate you from, forever.
A Love That Makes You a Son, Not Merely a Forgiven Man
The love of God does not content itself with forgiving your sins and setting you free; it goes far further than that — it adopts you and makes you a son in the house of God. He did not have to do more than pardon, but His love surpassed pardon unto sonship. The apostle John stood amazed before the greatness of this love and cried out:
"What manner of love" — an expression of wonder before a love beyond imagining. For God does not receive you as a hired servant, nor a fearful slave, but a beloved son whom He invites to call Him "Abba, Father." Consider the distance this love has crossed: from a sinner dead in his sins, a far-off enemy, to a son in the house of God with an eternal inheritance. This is not a promotion in rank, but a new birth into a new family.
And more wonderful still, God does not receive you grudgingly, but rejoices over you. The prophet Zephaniah declared of God toward His people: "he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing" (Zephaniah 3:17). Imagine: the Almighty God rejoicing over you and singing on your account! This is the love that awaits you — not a cold acceptance, but the joy of a father over a son who has returned. And a love of such depth and breadth and length and height is worthy that the apostle Paul should pray for believers that they "may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge" (Ephesians 3:18-19). A love that passes knowledge — this is what God offers you today.
A Love for the Whole World — and You Are Part of It
You may suppose that the love of God is for others, not for you. Perhaps you say: He may love the good, but as for me, I am far off, a sinner, undeserving. But Scripture demolishes this supposition. For when God declared His love, He did not confine it to a class, but spread it over the whole world:
"God so loved the world" — not one nation rather than another, nor one class rather than another, nor the righteous rather than sinners. And the world includes you. Then note the words "whosoever" — "whosoever believeth in him." He did not say "some who believe" nor "whoever deserves" — but "whosoever." So you are included in this "whosoever" if you believe. And the love of God never refuses one who comes, for the Lord Jesus Christ promised: "him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37).
And at the close of the whole Bible, the invitation remains open to whosoever will, without exception and without price: "And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17). "Whosoever will" — this is you, if you will. And "freely" — no price to pay, for Christ paid it all. So do not exclude yourself from a love from which God has not excluded you. God "will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4) — and you are one of "all men."
A Love That Erases Your Past However Dark
Perhaps the heaviest thing keeping you from coming to God is your past. You say within yourself: if you knew what I have done, if you knew how far I have fallen, you would not speak of a love that includes me. But hear the promise of God, who knows everything you have done, and yet invites you:
"As scarlet" — the most fixed of colours, the hardest to remove. And yet God promises to make them "as white as snow" — a complete whiteness, as though they had never been. So there is no sin in your past too deep for the love and forgiveness of God to reach. And when God forgives, He forgives completely, with no turning back:
"Into the depths of the sea" — not on its shore to be retrieved again, but in its depths where they are neither seen nor remembered. And as the psalmist said: "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:12) — an immeasurable distance, an east that never meets a west. So do not make your past a barrier between you and a love designed precisely to erase that past. The past you are ashamed of is the very thing Christ died for. The love of God does not retreat before the darkness of your sins — it reaches their depths to wash them all away.
A Love That Stands at Your Door This Very Moment
The love of God is not a distant idea nor a general sentiment — it is a Person standing at the door of your heart now, knocking, waiting for you to open. The Lord Jesus Christ said:
Consider the precision of the image: Christ does not break down the door nor force it. He stands and knocks and waits — for love cannot be coerced. The door He knocks on has a single handle, on the inside, so no one opens it but you. And this continual knocking in your life — the longing you feel for something deeper, the emptiness nothing fills, the moments when you wonder about the meaning of your existence — perhaps it is the voice of the love that knocks.
And note what He promises when you open: "I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Not a passing visit, but an intimate fellowship, a meal together — the image of the closest and warmest of relationships in the eastern culture. This is what the love of God offers you: not a cold religion, nor empty rituals, but a personal relationship with the living God who created you and knows you by name. The door is before you, the knocking continues, and the handle is in your own hand. Will you open?
A Love That Wants You, Not Your Performance
Many imagine God to be a distant master who demands a perfect performance before He will accept, weighing good deeds and bad in a cold balance, accepting whoever's scale tips heavier and rejecting whoever's is light. But the God whom Scripture reveals is altogether different: He is a Father who wants your heart before your works, and longs for your person, not your achievement. God declared that what He seeks is not first the rituals and sacrifices, but the heart:
And while men looked on the outward appearance, God declared that His gaze is different: "for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). Your outward appearance does not deceive God, and the weakness of your performance does not withhold His acceptance from you. He sees your heart, seeks your heart, and loves your heart even while it is burdened with sin and weariness.
That is why the call of the Lord Jesus Christ was directed not to the strong and successful, but to the weary and burdened: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Note whom He calls: the labouring, the heavy laden — that is you, if life has worn you out and your sins have weighed you down. He did not say "Come unto me, ye perfect," but "all ye that labour." The only condition for coming is to come as you are, not to mend yourself first. Then He added: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls" (Matthew 11:29).
So do not wait until you become "worthy" of the love of God — for you never will, nor will anyone. Love is not a wage you earn, but a gift you receive. And every attempt of yours to deserve it by your works denies its very nature as free grace. God wants you — with your weakness and weariness and past and all that is in you — not a perfect version of yourself you suppose you must present first. Come as you are, for He loves you as you are, and is able to change you after you come. This is the love beyond compare: a love that accepts you first, then works in you what you could never work in yourself.
He Loves You — Will You Come to Him?
The Lord Jesus Christ is not standing at a distance with conditions attached. He is standing at the door of your heart right now with an open invitation:
God keeps His word. If you come to Him, He will receive you. If you call on His name, He will answer. Not eventually — now. Here is a prayer you can pray from your heart:
"Holy and loving God, I come to You just as I am. I confess that I am a sinner who needs a Saviour. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose from the dead. Right now I turn from my own way and receive Him as my personal Lord and Saviour. Forgive my sins, give me the new birth by Your Spirit, and the eternal life that Christ purchased for me. In His name I pray. Amen."
If you prayed that prayer honestly from your heart, God heard you. Read His Word — begin with the Gospel of John. Find a church where His Word is faithfully taught. You are not alone in this new life.
The love of God revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ is not a sentiment or a theological abstraction. It is the most costly, most complete, and most personally directed love in the entire universe. Before you existed, God planned your redemption. Before you sinned, Christ was ordained to die for you. Before you called, He was reaching toward you. This is the love the Holy Scriptures describe — not a love that patiently waits for you to earn it by accumulated religious merit, but a love that actively comes looking for you precisely when you have nothing to offer and everything to lose.
The gospel is the announcement that this love has broken into human history in a specific event: the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Son of God. It is not a general religious principle. It is the report of what God actually did in real time, in a real place, for real sinners — including you. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
The response this love calls for is not complicated: stop trusting in yourself and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Receive what you cannot earn. Rest in what He accomplished rather than what you might accomplish. Come to Him empty-handed — empty hands are exactly what He fills. This is the call of the gospel. This is the living invitation of the Lord Jesus Christ, standing open to you right now, in this very moment, without any preconditions.
Consider what it means that God loves you not merely as a member of the human race in general, but personally, specifically, and individually — as a unique person known completely to Him. The Holy Scriptures do not describe a vague divine benevolence toward humanity as a whole — they describe the Father who counts the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30), the Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep (Luke 15:4), the Father who runs to meet the returning son while he is still a great way off (Luke 15:20). The love of God in the Lord Jesus Christ is particular, personal, and inexhaustible — directed to you by name, known to Him before the foundations of the world.
This personal divine love is why the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross is not merely a general atoning transaction covering humanity in the abstract. The apostle Paul understood it in the most personal terms possible: "I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). Loved me personally. Gave himself specifically for me. The Saviour of the world is also the Saviour of this one particular person — and if you genuinely receive Him by faith right now, that person is unmistakably and permanently you.
The love of God is not something that has to be coaxed out of a reluctant deity by your prayers, your suffering, or your religious merit. It does not need to be earned and it absolutely cannot be diminished or forfeited by any failure on your part, once you have received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" The apostle Paul asks in Romans 8:35 — and then declares that nothing in all creation can do so. The love of God in the Lord Jesus Christ is the one absolutely secure and permanent reality in an uncertain and changing world. It was there before the very foundation of the world, determined in eternity past. It will still be there long after the present world has completely passed away. And it is there for you right now, right now in this present moment, exactly as you are without any improvement required, freely and fully and completely, by the sovereign and undeserved grace of God alone.
If you prayed from your heart, something permanent happened: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12). You are now, by the promise of God Himself, a son or daughter of the living and eternal God. Your eternal life has begun. Begin reading the Gospel of John today. Speak to God each day in prayer, addressing Him as your Heavenly Father who delights to hear from you. Seek out a local fellowship of believers who faithfully teach the Holy Scriptures, and tell someone honestly and joyfully what God has graciously done for you. The same love of God that drew you to Himself will keep you securely and complete every good work He has begun in you, until the great and glorious day of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the promise of God to every soul who turns to the Lord Jesus Christ in genuine faith — a promise as sure and as permanent as the character of the One who made it.
«Glory to God in our Lord Jesus Christ, for ever and ever and ever. Amen.»
An Invitation to Receive Divine Salvation — Accept The Lord Jesus Christ as Your Personal Saviour
Dear reader — if these words have touched your heart and you have recognised that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour, know that God is calling you to Himself in this very moment. You do not need a priest, or a human mediator, or a holy place, or rituals or works. The Lord Jesus Christ paid the full price on the cross, and the promise of God is certain and clear:
What saves you is not the words of this prayer — but the faith in your heart that the Lord Jesus Christ died for you and rose from the dead. But if you want to express your faith in sincere words, read this prayer with a humble heart as though you are speaking to the living God:
The Prayer of Salvation
"O Great, Holy, and Loving True God,
I come to You now with complete humility, confessing that I am a sinner. I have broken Your commandments many times in my thoughts, in my words, and in my deeds. I know that my sin deserves eternal death and eternal separation from You. I have no good work I can offer that is able to redeem my soul, and no righteousness of my own to cover my nakedness before Your holiness.
But I believe with all my heart in the testimony of Your Word that Your only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins — bearing in my place the punishment I deserved. I believe that He was buried, and that He rose from the dead on the third day, alive and victorious over death and the grave, and that He is alive now unto the ages of ages.
In this blessed moment, I receive the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. I trust in Him alone — not in my works, not in my religion, not in rituals or any person or angel or saint. On the Lord Jesus Christ alone, and on His precious blood shed on the cross, I build the hope of my eternal salvation.
I thank You, my Father, that You have now received me in the Lord Jesus Christ, and have forgiven all my sins, and have given me eternal life as a free gift by Your grace. I thank You that You have sent Your Holy Ghost to dwell in my heart, bearing witness to me that I have become Your child. Give me grace to know You more day by day, and to live the rest of my life for Your glory alone.
I pray all this in the name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen."
After You Have Prayed — What Now?
If you prayed this prayer from a truly believing heart, the greatest miracle in all your history has happened in this moment: you have passed from death to life, from darkness to light, from the kingdom of sin into the kingdom of the beloved Son of God. You have become a child of the living God, and God's own promise guarantees this to you in His trustworthy Word:
Notice the power of this promise: "gave he power" — a settled right, guaranteed, not a wish or a possibility. And notice "them that believe on his name" — not "those who performed great deeds," not "those who completed rituals," but simply "them that believe." You are now one of them — with absolute certainty.
Here are five simple steps to establish you in your new life with the Lord Jesus Christ:
First — Read the King James Bible every day. Begin with the Gospel of John, then continue through the rest of the New Testament, then the Psalms and Proverbs. God speaks to you through His Word as a father speaks with his son. Do not read quickly — read with meditation and prayer. "The holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation" (2 Timothy 3:15).
Second — Pray every day. Speak to God as a loving Father — not with memorised words, but with words from your heart. Share with Him your joys and sorrows and questions and fears. Prayer is the breathing of the Christian life. "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
Third — Join a Bible-believing church. Do not walk this road alone. Faith grows in the fellowship of believers, where the Word is preached faithfully and baptism and the Lord's Supper are practised according to the King James Bible. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25).
Fourth — Be baptised according to the King James Bible. Baptism is not a condition for salvation, but it is the first step of obedience after faith. It is a public declaration that you died with the Lord Jesus Christ and were buried with Him and rose with Him to a new life. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16) — faith first, then baptism as its natural fruit.
Fifth — Witness to others about the Lord Jesus Christ. What you have experienced of salvation and love cannot remain hidden. Begin with your family and friends. Tell them simply and honestly how the Lord Jesus Christ changed your life. "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you" (1 John 1:3).
And finally, remember always that your salvation is not built on your feelings or on any work you perform — but on the unchanging promise of God:
"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."
— 1 John 5:13
Notice: "that ye may know" — not "that ye may hope," not "that ye may wish," not "that ye may wait in anxious fear." But that ye may know with complete, unshakeable certainty that you have eternal life. This is the difference between all the world's religions and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ: religions say "work and perhaps you will be saved" — and the Word of God alone says: "believe and know that you are saved."
