Our Assurance Of Eternal Life

18 We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is set in the evil. 20 And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the TRUE God, and the eternal life.
