Book: 1 John
This VerseQuest Ministries sermon outline on 1 John 5:13 explains the Bible doctrine that a saved man may know that he has eternal life. The outline shows that assurance is not spiritual arrogance, emotional optimism, confidence in a past experience, church membership, baptism, sacramental participation, or trust in personal performance, but confidence in the written testimony of God concerning His Son. It examines eternal life as a present possession, the witness of God as greater than the witness of men, life being found in Jesus Christ, the finished gospel work of Christ, the sealing ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the distinction between assurance and presumption. It also separates standing from state, sonship from fellowship, chastening from condemnation, and salvation from Christian reward. Preachers, teachers, and Bible students will gain a strong KJV-based framework for answering the question, “Can I really know that I am saved?” with the plain authority of Scripture.
