You can know you have eternal life
John wrote his first letter so that those who believe in the name of the Son of God may know that they have eternal life.
Assurance
Salvation rests on what Christ has done, not on how strong we feel. That is why the Bible can say believers may know they have eternal life.
11The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life. 13These 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 that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
