Assurance in First John: Part 1

This is a subject that can give Christians – and by that I mean followers of the Lord Jesus – a deal of trouble, from time to time. 

Can I be sure I know God?

Can I be sure I am forgiven?

Can I be sure I will go to heaven?

If these three key areas are of no immediate concern to you, they may well be to other believing Christians in your orbit – people you know. So hopefully, even if you are not troubled by doubts, there is still a message for you here as you seek to be a member of the Christian family and ‘look out’ for your brothers and sisters, praying for them, encouraging them and (possibly) counselling them.
