Some questions should be settled by now. "Does God really love me? Am I actually saved? Is my faith real?" In the final message of the "Proof of Life" series through 1 John, Pastor Justin Sturgeon brings us to John's purpose statement: "I write these things so that you may know that you have eternal life." Drawing from 1 John 5:13–21, this sermon at First Christian Church of The Dalles unpacks the Greek word oida — a settled, established, no-doubt-about-it kind of knowing — and shows why John's whole letter has been carefully built to give you that kind of confidence. Pastor Justin walks through John's final pastoral encouragements about prayer, sin, and assurance, and lands the series on the rock-solid ground every believer is meant to stand on. If you've been carrying quiet doubt for years and never said it out loud, this sermon is for you. The certainty God offers isn't built on how you feel — it's built on what He has said.
