[[1 John 5|5]]
The First Epistle of John is a book of the [[New Testament]]. It is generally believed to have been written by the [[apostle John]]. The author wrote so that "you who believe in the name of the Son of God... may know that you have eternal life." ([[1 John 5:13]]).
John wrote about the most vital aspects of faith so that readers would know Christian truth from error. He emphasizes the basics of faith so that we can be confident in our faith. In our dark world, God is light. In our cold world, God brings the warmth of love. In our dying world, God brings life. When we lack confidence, these truths bring us certainty.

God is in control of heaven and earth. Because his word is true, we can have assurance of eternal life and victory over sin. By faith we can be certain of our eternal destiny with him. Assurance of our relationship with God is a promise, but it is also a way of life. We build our confidence by trusting in God's word and in Christ's provision for our sin.
