Thus belief and righteousness and love are declared to be tests of "eternal life." They can be absent from the experience of no real Christian. The epistle, however, is much more than a mere series of tests. So conscious are we of the imperfection of our faith and holiness and love, that such tests might be applied in such a way as to tease and torment the truest follower of Christ.
