Consider 1 John 5:11–13: “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life”. Who is it that has the Son? It is those who have believed in Him (John 1:12). If you have Jesus, you have life. Not temporary life, but eternal. And, according to 1 John 5:13, you can know that you have this eternal life.

11. According to Romans 3:23, who has sinned?
We are all sinners, and our sins separate us from God. Since
Adam & Eve ate from the forbidden tree, Mankind has been
sinful by nature. We are all born with a sin nature, and we
are all sinners. (Remember, when we believe in Jesus as
our Savior, God exchanges our nature for His). Living a life
in sin hinders us from reconciling with God and having
fellowship with God. This means that we have all broken
God’s laws and God’s 10 Commandments like those
mentioned in Exodus 20:1-17.
