    1 John 5:11-13 (New International Version)

    11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

    Yes I do, thank you for asking.

    Believing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is symptomatic of the presence of God.

    But John and Paul gave us some tests. That you believe that Jesus is the son of God. that you believe that jesus came in the flesh. That Jesus is The LORD! That you love the believers. Those are mostly for testing others to see if you should listen to what they are saying. From the inside out there is also the peace which passes all understanding.

    This is God’s essential message to man; that eternal life is a gift from God, received in Jesus Christ. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. It is all about Jesus, and living in Jesus is the evidence eternal life.
