1 John 3:19-24

How do we know that we truly belong to the truth—especially when our hearts feel unsettled or accusatory?

In this message from 1 John 3:19–24, we explore John’s honest and hopeful teaching about assurance, obedience, and abiding in Christ. Scripture reminds us that while our hearts are real, they are not always reliable—and that God is greater than our hearts. True confidence before God does not come from emotional certainty alone, but from a lived relationship marked by faith in Christ, love for others, and remaining where God has already made His presence known.

This sermon offers encouragement for tender consciences, challenges an emotion-driven understanding of faith, and invites us into a steadier, deeper confidence rooted in God’s faithful presence and the quiet witness of the Spirit.
