These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1 Jn. 5:13 KJV
Father is eager to prove to believers that He is living in their hearts, ready to fulfil His word through us. This requires a degree of confident trust, ie. faith that His word is fact, and Father wants His children to rely on Him, on His written word: Not feelings, emotions, impressions, but on Him in us.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Rom. 8:16 KJV;
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Q: I have been born again for a long time. Under duress I know that I could persevere and not deny Jesus Christ as Lord. But what about this hypothetical situation; to cause me to deny Jesus, say… one of my loved ones was being tortured. Do I stand firm? What if it is a young child? Carol
A: When you follow Christ with all your heart you won’t consider denying Him under any circumstances: None.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Heb. 11:24-26 KJV
