Daily Bible Reading— February 2025, God’s Strengthening Word: Sharing God's LoveSample

Introduction

1 John 5:13–21: The writer concludes the letter with the assurance of eternal life for believers in God’s Son Jesus Christ.

Today’s Key Verse: 1 John 5:20b

We live in union with the true God—in union with his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and this is eternal life.

Reflect

Verses 13–21 provide a comprehensive summary of the letter’s key points. Some translations describe these verses as the epilogue. What is your understanding of John’s teaching to the children of God? Do you live like you know you have eternal life (verse 13)?

Pray

Loving God, give me courage in your presence. I trust that you hear me when I pray and that you are with me in the midst all my joys and my sorrows. Empower me with your Holy Spirit, that I may be filled with your light and love and remain in union with you. Amen.
