11And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Concluding Affirmations13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
