| To Know or Not to Know? |
|
| ¡°These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.¡± ( 1 John 5:13 , NIV ) |
|
An all time favorite verse of mine is the one above. It rivals John 3:16 for potency. We can actually know we have eternal life!
Years ago I read the story of a poor immigrant who was sailing from Europe to the ¡°New World¡± of America. He slept under a canvas covering in one of the life boats. However, he was not a stowaway, for he had saved for three years to purchase his passage. He took enough biscuits to see him through the voyage (one for each day at sea). On his final day at sea he was about to consume his last biscuit when one of the crew found him. In the ensuing conversation the hungry fellow was told that his ticket included not only a room, but three meals a day.
Not knowing is often fatal. I wonder how many of God¡¯s children on Zion¡¯s ship are starving themselves spiritually by not knowing that all the while they could be feasting at the captain¡¯s table as they journey toward their heavenly port of call?
I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.
- 2 Timothy 1:12 |

Thank You, Father, for allowing me to know Jesus and to have His blessed assurance. In His name. Amen. - STEVEN CLARK GOAD, Blythe, California |
