Scripture Reading 1 John 3:19-24
Opening Prayer
Introduction
Have you ever felt inadequate?
Not prepared for a task or job?
Have you ever bitten off more than you could chew?
As children we were used to the feeling
As adults, we get uncomfortable when we set out on a task and are unable to complete it.
Exposition 1 (19-22)
I. Be confident that God has redeemed you, even if your thoughts and emotions bring doubt (19-22)
Subpoint 1 (19a)
By “this”
What is this?
Everything that came before but especially vs. 18
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
So, by this we shall know that we are of the truth
A. Your true love for one another testifies the truth that you are a believer (19a)
Subpoint 2 (19b-20)
Reassure our heart.
What is meant by heart?
Greek kardia
literally the physical organ of the heart
The use here however is figurative, not literal
In English, we hear our emotional core
In Greek, it is the mind, or inner being, it includes our emotions but is more deeply rooted in how we think.
for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows everything.
B. Your minds bring doubt but God is greater than your doubts (19b-20)
Subpoint 3 (21-22)
C.
You can be confident in your salvation because of Him (21-22)
God declares salvation
God answers prayer
I. Be confident that God has redeemed you, even if your thoughts and emotions bring doubt (19-22)
Exposition 2 (23-24)
II.
Believe, love, and abide.
Then know by the Spirit.
Trust and obey
