Summary

Erase your doubts when it comes to life’s ultimate question: Do I have eternal life? In this message, we’ll see what fruits those who really have Heaven awaiting them bear.

Notes:

Focus verse - 1 John 5

READ: 1 John 5 (NKJV)

#1 Marks of a True Believer

The Greek word John used here is “nikao.”

Conquering will not be proven by your arrogance, words, or feelings, it will be proven by your actions.

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37 (NKJV)

READ: 1 John 5:1–2

• Faith that Jesus is the Christ, and that He is the Son of God
• Love for God and His people
• Obedience to the Word

READ: 1 John 5:3 (NKJV)

How you know:

Faith, love, and obedience ... These are not prerequisites to being saved. They are products of being born again.

#2 The Evidence for Our Faith
1 John 5:6–12

The Water, the Blood, and the Spirit

Incarnation is the doctrine that Jesus was fully God and fully man.

You don’t just know about the truth… you feel it, sense it, and live it.

Do you have the Son?
1 John 5:12

Jesus is not a step in the process.
He is the whole process.

#3 Standing in Victory
1 John 5:13–21

Confidence in salvation gives you confidence in prayer.

Prayer isn’t about getting what we want; it’s about aligning with what God wants.

READ: 1 John 5:16–17

If you are standing in victory, you need to help pull others out of defeat.

READ: 1 John 5:21

Whatever you do, don’t let anything take Jesus’ place in your heart.
