  • Confidence in Prayer and Protection

    John closes his letter by assuring believers that eternal life in Christ brings confidence—not only in salvation but also in prayer and in God’s protection from evil. Scripture“And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us…
