What is the assurance of eternal life in 1 John 5?

Answered in 1 source

1 John 5 assures believers of eternal life by affirming their faith in the Son of God and God's promise.

1 John 5 begins with the apostle John stating that he has written these things to those who believe in the name of the Son of God so that they may know they have eternal life (1 John 5:13). This assurance is grounded in faith, affirming that believers, through their trust in Jesus Christ, have been granted the gift of eternal life. The text emphasizes that our confidence in prayer and in our eternal state is directly related to our relationship with God through His Son. John writes to instill certainty in the hearts of believers which not only impacts their assurance of salvation but also their approach to prayer and fellowship with God.
