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: He came to save us, Angel, and when you trust in him, you're in (1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17). You have eternal life (John 5:24). You will never perish (John 10:28). You have the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9) and he lets you know you are a child of God (Romans 8:16). His presence in you is a guarantee of your salvation (Ephesians 1:13,14). If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, then you have this assurance (2 Timothy 1:12). Jesus guarantees salvation to those who trust in him. God is willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, so he confirms it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast (Hebrews 6). And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life (1 John 2:25). |
