If you want to read a book of the Bible that will tell you about who Jesus really is and why He came, read this Book. John 20:30-31 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. (NKJV) John wrote this book with no birth narrative, no manger scene, no geneology, but he went straight to the point in John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.

I know many folks today wonder whether they are saved or not. It seems like people want to trust God for anything but keeping them saved. God did everything necessary to save you and will keep you. You did nothing to earn it and can do nothing to keep it either. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. If God did the greater thing by saving you, will He not do the lesser and keep you also!!! But if you want to have assurance of your salvation then the book of 1 John is for you. It speaks to the issue of the signs of your salvation and lets you know that God wants you to know for sure you are saved or if not you need to be. 1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and believe in the name of the Son of God.
