​​​Epistle of First John Chapter Five.  
The apostle John concludes his first epistle with a clear examination of the believer's prized possessions. 


More than anything or anyone, we need the assurance that God's love IS absolute. The apostle John provides a real sense of our belonging to God, thus... the Bible alone is our assurance that God is love.  No Christian who has failed can fail when they approach God by faith alone (Hebrews 11:6).  Thank God for the B.I.B.L.E. !
