Pastor Ed is preaching from 1 John 5:18-21. For the final time in this letter John addresses the “new birth.” The apostle wants us to be sure that we have been born again, and he catalogs no less than 13 evidences of the new birth in this letter. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the true God, and the only God who gives you an eternal life—and you can have it with certainty. All you have to do is believe in His name. He and He alone is the “true God.” All other gods are deceiving counterfeits and false substitutes. What they promise they can never provide. Jesus “is the true God and eternal life.” On this truth you can stand and stake your eternal destiny.
