THE REAL SOURCE OF OUR LIFE CONFIDENCE

JOHN 5:12-14 (NKJV)

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

God’s definition of life differs from man’s definition. Christ is the foundation of God’s definition of life. In God’s eyes, those who have Christ have life, while those who do not have Christ do not. This should motivate us to preach the Gospel more often so that more people can believe in Jesus and receive eternal life.

One of the advantages of knowing the kind of life you have as a Christian is a divine confidence – deep and from above confidence. This life gives us confidence in all aspects of our lives. We are confident in God’s love and that God hears our prayers. It fills us with divine hope (assurance) of God’s glory in this life and the life to come.

Our awareness of this life even gives us hope for the Day of Judgement. “In this [union and communion with Him], love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgement [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world,” (1John 4:17, AMPC). According to the Good News Bible, “Love is made perfect in us in order that we may have courage on the Judgement Day, and we will have it because our life in this world is the same as Christ’s.”

FAITH DECLARATION:
Because of the glorious life of Christ in me, I have great confidence, hope, and assurance in every area of my life
