I do not think that God wants people to be unsure about their salvation. John 3:16 is the Gospel in a nutshell. It’s a pledge...a ‘title deed’...concerning people’s salvation. Period. No ‘if’s’ or ‘and’s’ or ‘but’s.’
John did say that he had “written these things to you that you may know that you have eternal life, to you who believe in the name of the Son of God.”
All of us must stand in judgment before God...our sins will either be covered by the Blood of the Atonement...or they won’t.
