Bible Study Conversations

I've been thinking about some conversations during our Bible study last night concerning 1 John 5:13. What should this verse mean to EVERY CHRISTIAN?

• It should affect our priorities - Nothing is more important than having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  

• It should affect our confidence - We have assurance. We don't have to guess about what is going to happen at the end of this life (1 John 4:17). If we know we have new life in Christ. It will change the life we live here and now.

• It should affect our urgency - If we know there is a day coming when each person will give account of their life to God (Hebrews 9:27). If every person is going to spend eternity with Christ in heaven or separated from Christ in hell. There should be a sense of urgency when it comes to sharing the message of God's love (John 3:16).
