Righteousness as a Gift (1 John 5:13)
1 John 5:13
Righteousness as a Gift
This passage leads you straight to the heart of the gospel.
Scripture: 1 John 5:13
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.
Thought: John does not write: "So that you hope to get it." Not: "So that you struggle to earn it." But: "So that you KNOW that you HAVE it." Eternal life is not a goal at the end of a long journey. Original: צְדָקָה
Cross-references: Romans 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Tiny step
End self-accusation with a clear yes to Christ.
Prayer
Father, thank you that I am righteous in Christ and act from security today.
