That You May Know

READ: 1 John 5:6-13

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. —1 John 5:13

One day, while Wim was in the marketplace in the Netherlands, he struck up a conversation with a woman who remarked that you can get to heaven by doing good works.

His attempt to explain that it is by God’s grace that we are “saved through faith” (Eph. 2:8) brought a smile as the woman repeated confidently: “and . . . by doing good works.” Then another woman volunteered, “You can hope you’ll go to heaven, but you can’t be sure.” Wim’s assertion that he did know for sure was met with a muttered, “Nobody knows for sure.”

Wim then showed the woman what 1 John 5:11-13 says. He explained: “See, it doesn’t say hope there, it says know.” Unconvinced, she said, “Like you, my pastor says that we have to have faith, but you really never know whether you’ve been good enough. You may think you have, but who can be sure?”

To some, Wim’s confidence may seem incredible. But he based his words on this statement: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works” (Eph. 2:8-9).

It’s true. We can’t be good enough. We can never do enough good things. But we can be sure of heaven if we simply believe on the Lord (Acts 16:31).

We cannot earn our way to heaven
By word or work or worth;
But if we trust in Christ to save us,
Then we’ll enjoy new birth. —Branon

We are saved by God’s mercy, not by our merit—by Christ’s dying, not by our doing.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 4–6; Proverbs 1:1-7

Down on the corner by the traffic lights
Everybody's lookin', as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her 'til she's gone
Lord have mercy, Baby's got her bluejeans on

Up by the bus stop, and across the street
Open up their windows, to take a peek
While she goes walkin', rockin' like a rollin' stone
Heave help us, Baby's got her bluejeans on

She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene
It just comes naturally,
No - the girl can't help it

Well up on Main Street, by the taxi stand
There's a crowd of people, in a traffic jam
She don't look back, she ain't doin' nothin' wrong
Lord have mercy, Baby's got her bluejeans on

She can't help it if she's made that way
She's not to blame if they look her way
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene
It just comes naturally,
No - the girl can't help it

Down on the corner by the traffic lights
Everybody's lookin', as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her 'til she's gone
Lord have mercy, Baby's got her bluejeans on

Heaven help us, Baby's got her bluejeans on

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Billie :)
I remember watching the Flintstones with my brothers and sisters. We just loved them. Still do. ;)

Thanks so much!

[Billie]

*sigh* - YouTubes are the pits for me to download and unless they are absolutely, positively a “must see”, I just don’t do them. I’m sorry, Maj, if this has anything to do with your ‘question’.

[Billie]

I love your Baby In Blue Jeans opening!, Billie..

Thank you, Meg - appreciate you for all you do and say. That little doggie is a cutie, too. :)
