I was at the FEB Central Pastors’ Conference last week, so I wanted to share a post from 2020 about the tests of genuine faith.

When Christians struggle with doubts about whether they’re truly saved, they often turn to 1 John 5:13 for assurance. It points to the confidence we can have about our eternity if we’ve put our trust in Jesus. But if we want to understand that promise correctly, we need to read it alongside the tests that precede it.
