1 John 5:12
Compare all
10 He who believes in the Son of God ahas the witness in himself; he who does not believe God bhas made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.  
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 aHe who has the Son has1 life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.  
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,1 and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.  

Confidence and Compassion in Prayer

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that aif we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and aHe will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. bThere is sin leading to death. cI do not say that he should pray about that.

1 John 5:12

He that hath the Son hath life - As the eternal life is given In the Son of God, it follows that it cannot be enjoyed without him. No man can have it without having Christ; therefore he that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son hath not life. It is in vain to expect eternal glory, if we have not Christ in our heart. The indwelling Christ gives both a title to it, and a meetness for it. This is God' s record. Let no man deceive himself here. An indwelling Christ and Glory; no indwelling Christ, No glory. God' s record must stand.
