Series: how do you know?
Confidence Through Accurate Belief
I John 1:1-2:1
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
I John 5:13
3 ways “you know that you know Him”
· You believe the right truth.
· You strive to keep His commands.
· You desire to love God’s people.
How do you know if you believe the “Right Truth?”
You believe something rooted in history.
You believe something that has been confirmed by witnesses.
So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household,
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.
Ephesians 2:20
“Koinonia” = joined together, shared experience
You believe something that provides an affirming experience.
The experience John is writing about is not an emotional feeling or a providential circumstance, but rather an internal witness that affirms the gospel’s veracity.
You believe something that holds up in light of spiritual realties.
There are 2 colliding spiritual realities:
God is perfect; human beings are not.
TRUTH: Anyone who trusts in Christ will be saved and can have confidence.
