TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “…that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:3b KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: John writes “truly” to show us the surety of eternal life, which he sums up in “our fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.” In other words, all who have a personal relationship with God through Christ are proven to be recipients of eternal life.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: These words of John, in the third verse of the first chapter of his first epistle, remind us of the words of our Lord, in the third verse of the seventeenth chapter of John’s Gospel, where we read, “And this is eternal life, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” Truly, eternal life is exclusively known by those who know God through Christ, as well as definitely not known by anyone else in any other way.
