Yes, absolutely. Because God says that we may know. It isn't "you might be able to know."
Hebrews 10:7 ¶Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Yes, absolutely. Because God says that we may know. It isn't "you might be able to know."
This is the long-awaited response to my detailed exposition of 1 John I gave in post 1348? I pointed out that the things John wrote so that "we may know" involve more than just a reflexive self-declaration of one's own salvation. They entail walking in faith, keeping the commandments of Jesus and loving one another.
And you respond with the same pap.
Please let us know when you are ready to give serious consideration to the Bible, rather than just pick out the verses that make you happy.
