Read in context

1 John 5:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

14 And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.
