What to Read When…You Need Assurance of Salvation

John 3:14-21 –Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not be lost but have eternal life. 

Because God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s unique Son. And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil. 

Everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his actions may not be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may become evident that his actions have God’s approval.” 

John 11:25-26 –“Indeed, everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?” 
“Yes, Lord,” she told him. “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world.” 

Acts 16:31-34 –They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will be saved.” 
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and everyone in his home. At that hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds. Then he and his entire family were baptized immediately. He brought Paul and Silas upstairs into his house and set food before them. He was thrilled, as was his household, to believe in God.

1 John 5:9-13 –If we accept human testimony, God’s testimony is greater, because it is the testimony of God and because he has testified about his Son. The person who believes in the Son of God believes this testimony personally. The person who does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony that he has given about his Son. 

This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in his Son. The person who has the Son has this life. The person who does not have the Son of God does not have this life. 
 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
