Abba San

Legacy of Elijah [LoE] - Proud Grandfather
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13 (NASB)

The word there, "know," is not the typical word for "to know." It is an intensified version, "to know fully." John uses the less intense word twice in this same chapter of 1 John. In this case he wants his readers to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that they have eternal life.

We can know that...I hope you do...preaching on it on Sunday.
 
Doubting God's mercy is a common human condition. Thanks for the verse that counters that.
