NASB | 1 John 3:24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:24 The one who habitually keeps His commandments [obeying His word and following His precepts, abides and] remains in Him, and He in him. By this we know and have the proof that He [really] abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us [as a gift]. |
Subject: How do we know that we are truly saved? |
Bible Note: Only the person knows if they have done what these verses say. Romans 10: (9) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; (10) for with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation (11) For the scripture says, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. (12) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call upon Him; (13) for WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. Sometimes I think we have a hard time understanding this because it is really so very simple; however, it is the most important thing we will ever do. Don't you think that is why some of us have a need to make it sooo difficult? |
