Sermon: 1 John 3:18-24

(Click HERE for MP3 sermon audio.)

This previous Sabbath’s (August 15) sermon works through 1 John 3:18-24. I found this passage quite difficult. The key seems to be the idea of “confidence” before God and its relationship to keeping Jesus’ commandments and doing what pleases Him. The difficulty of this passage is maintaining salvation solely through grace by faith, yet simultaneously coming to grips with why behavior is important (the age-old faith and works dilemma…).
