你確知自己有永生嗎？
約翰壹書五章7至13節
7並且有聖靈作見證，因為聖靈就是真理。
8作見證的原來有三：就是聖靈、水，與血，這三樣也都歸於一。
9我們既領受人的見證，神的見證更該領受了（該領受：原文作大），因神的見證是為他兒子作的。
10信神兒子的，就有這見證在他心裡；不信神的，就是將神當作說謊的，因不信神為他兒子作的見證。
11這見證就是神賜給我們永生；這永生也是在他兒子裡面。
12人有了神的兒子就有生命，沒有神的兒子就沒有生命。
13我將這些話寫給你們信奉神兒子之名的人，要叫你們知道自己有永生。
信息分享
今天的經文有不少斬釘截鐵的話。請再看第13節。作者清楚指出，我們可以知道自己有永生。然而，許多基督徒仍然對是否得救感到懷疑。你是否確知自己有永生呢？
我們怎能確知呢？
第一， 藉著相信神的話。
你當初信主的時候，既然相信基督能夠拯救你；那麼，你如今就必須相信神的話語對你所作出的肯定：基督確實已拯救你。倘若你對是否得救感到疑惑，就等於對基督說：「我已經盡了我的責任去決志，但你還未盡你的責任去救我」，這根本不是事實。所以，基督說祂已救了你，你只管相信便行了。
第二， 藉著聖靈的見證。(羅馬書八章16節)
聖經是神向我們所作的見證。聖靈則在我們心中為神作見證。聖靈告訴我們，我們是屬於神的，同時，當我們做了不該做的事，聖靈也會讓我們知罪。
第三， 藉著生命的改變。(哥林多後書五章17節)
人若接受基督，他的生命就會出現奇妙的改變。無論是他本人和其他人，都可能需要經過一段時間才看見這改變，但它終究會出現改變，並藉此證明那人已經真正重生。
你是否清楚確知自己是屬乎基督的？你是不是已決志相信祂？如果你已決志，就放心相信祂的話，你的內心將得著確據。
有福的確據，耶穌屬我！
何等的榮耀，向我顯明！
被救主贖回，為神後嗣，
罪全得洗淨，聖靈再生。
CAN YOU SAY 'I AM SURE'?
1 John 5:7-13
7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
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, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Message
Our reading today makes some strong statements. Look at verse 13 again. It says plainly that we can know that we have eternal life. Yet so many Christians still have doubts about their salvation. Are you really sure yourself?
How can we be really sure?
1. By believing the Word of God.
Just as you believed at first that Christ could save you, now you need to believe his Word that he has saved you. If you doubt that he has saved you, when you asked him to do it, you are saying 'I have done my part and he hasn't done his'. Believe what he says to you today.
2. By the witness of the Spirit-Romans 8:16.
The Bible is God's witness to us. The Holy Spirit is God's witness in us. He tells us we belong to God and he corrects us when we do wrong.
3. By a changed life-2 Corinthians 5:17.
There comes a wonderful change in the life of a person who accepts Christ. It may take some time for that change to be seen by others or by the person themselves, but it will come and will show clearly that that person has been truly born again.
Are you really sure you belong to Christ? You have accepted him, haven't you? If so, then believe what he says and assurance will come to your heart.
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine,
Oh what a foretaste of glory of divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
