Do you believe God? Do you believe the record that He gave? He says if you have the Son you have life. Now do you believe that? He didn’t say if you feel like it or if you’ve joined something, but He says, “If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and if you have Him”—and He says, “That’s the reason I’ve written this epistle to you, that you might know that you have eternal life.” This is made, I think, very clear here: “These are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ”—that’s who He is—“and that believing you might have life through his name.”
