1 John 3:19-24

Do you ever beat yourself up over a failure or a sin struggle you can’t seem to shake? Culture seems to teach that when we fall short, we’re no longer as lovable or valuable—we’re failures. Because of this, we can become consumed with negative, self-condemning thoughts that can leave us feeling paralyzed. But is this what Jesus wants for us? What does He think of us—even when we mess up?  In this message, Pete Briscoe takes us to 1 John to share how we can be freed from self-condemnation and start living in the light of how God really sees us.

Johnʼs gospel, as well as these letters, exhibit certain patterns -- words and phrases--that reflect his insight into the truths that he learned directly from the Son of God Himself. Among these are “knowledge,” “truth,” and “assurance.” Well, the last six verses of chapter three, here in first John, are no exception, as weʼll see.
