Assurance.
*HOW you may KNOW you are saved.*

You may *know* you are saved, because God *says so* in His Word.

*THESE things have I written* unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, *that ye may know* (not hope, or guess) that ye *have* (not are going to have) eternal life.”

_I John 5:13._

BUT as many as *received Him* (Christ) to *them gave* he *power* to *become the sons* of *God*, even to them that *believe on his name*.

_John 1:12._
