Blessed Assurance

John wrote his first letter to give believers blessed assurance about their eternal life. He addressed Christians who were confused by false teachers with complicated ideas, reminding them that faith is simple. Authentic Christian living involves three essentials: believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, obeying His commands, and loving others. John emphasizes that God's commandments aren't burdensome because they all sum up to love. Eternal life isn't just about living forever after death—it's about experiencing a quality of life that finds meaning and purpose in knowing God and Jesus Christ right now.

NOTE: We had technical issues with the end of the sermon. Our video back up picked up the image but we lose our microphone so we are using the native camera microphone that picked up some of the soundroom workers trying to fix the issue but you can hear the end of the message.
