Some people hope they will spend eternity with God. John says that we can know we will. Our certainty is based on God's promise that he has given us eternal life through his Son. This is true whether you feel close to God or distant from him. Eternal life is not based on feelings, but on facts. You can know you have eternal life if you believe God's truth. If you lack assurance about your future destination, ask yourself whether or not you've honestly committed your life to Christ as your Savior and Lord. If so, by faith you know where you'll be - with your father.
I find that so reassuring because right now in my life with God, and for most of my life, I have felt distant from God. I honestly believe that God is the truth. He is so amazing! He has unconditional love for me even when I feel like I don't deserve it. He is always by my side and will be there for me to talk to. He knows me better than myself. So how is it so easy for God to do so much for me and to love me more than anyone else will ever be able to love me but I find it hard to put Him first and to worship Him in everything I do? He is the one that deserves everything, not me.
