Raise Your Hands If You're Sure (14 of 14)
Series: 1 John

1 John 5:13-21
In the early days of radio in Britain, George Bernard Shaw (Journalist and Playwright) was giving a talk about the peculiarities of the English language, in the course of which he mentioned that there are only two words in English which begin with the sound 'sh' but are not spelt 'sh.' One listener wrote in to say that she did not believe his statement to be true or accurate. She said there was only one such word - 'sugar.' She received a postcard, in reply, on which there was just one sentence: 'Madam, are you sure?'
John wrote this short letter so those reading it could be sure, sure of eternal life. As we finish John's letter this week he leaves us to dwell on some assurances that we have as believers. He also leaves us with a great challenge as well.

There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death. 18 We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God ...
