Yet Jesus stops, sees him, and heals him — not because of sin, not because of a...

The Apostle John shares with his Christian audience that their new nature and changed life will change who and how they love. A believer's love for God creates a desire to love and serve others - not a selfish love for personal gain, but a selfless love to bless and benefit others, demonstrating God's active work in a believer's life.

Continuing our 1 John series on 'Assurances', a believer's desire to live a life of obedience to God rather than continuing in sin and remaining under control of the old sin nature assures the believer that God has made him/her a new creation with a new nature, and is now secure in God's family.

Part of the series on the Assurances of Salvation and Eternal Security in 1 John, "we may know" we are saved (1 John 5:13) when our desire is to "walk in the light."

Taken from 1 John, the foundational assurance that a believer is saved and eternally secure is through belief in Jesus the Christ. John writes his epistle so that we may know with certainty that we are saved for eternity.
