Thanks to Pastor Jay for allowing me to post the following information.

David

John tells you how you can know you are saved and how you can be assured of your salvation. He writes in 1 Jn. 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.” What are the “These things” that John is talking about? Look up the verses below and see if you have assurance of salvation.

Gives you assurance you are not saved:

1:6 Say you have fellowship and yet walk in darkness
1:8 If you say you have no sin and are self deluded
1:10 if you say you have no sin which is as to make Jesus a liar
2:4 If we do not obey God's commands
2:9,11 If we hate our brother
2:15 if we love the world
2:19 If we depart from the Saints
2:22-23 If we deny Jesus is the Christ
3:8 If we practice sin
3:10 If we do not practice righteousness
3:15 If we hate our brother
3:17 If we are stingy, selfish, and greedy
4:5 If we speak like the world
4:8 If we do not love
4:20 If we do not love other believers
5:10 If we do not believe in the Son of God
5:12 If we do not have the Son

Gives you assurance you are saved

1:7 If we walk in the light and are in the light
1:9 If we confess our sins
2:3 If we keep His commands
2:5 If we keep His Word
2:10 If we love our brother
2:17 If we do the will of the father
2:19 If we do not go apostate
2:23 If we confess Jesus Christ
3:7 If we practice Righteousness
3:9 If we don't practice sin
3:16 If we sacrifice for others
3:18-19 If we love with deed and truth
3:21 If our conscience is clean
3:24 If we keep His commandments
4:6 If we listen to the Apostles
4:7 If we love the brethren
4:13-19 If we confess Jesus Christ
5:12 If we have Jesus Christ
5:12 If ye have eternal life

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13
