The Test of Our Assurance of Salvation (1 John) - 6/16/24

INTRO

There are tests we should consider as we think through the assurance of our salvation. God lays them out perfectly for us in the book of 1 John.

The Test of Right Doctrine (Theological Test)


The Test of Right Living (Ethical Test)

The Test of Right Loving (Moral Test)

Do I know I have a personal relationship with God and that I am daily experience the joy of my salvation and the fellowship with the saints? – 1:3-4

  • Fellowship – to share, to have in common.

  • Joy – gladness

  • Full – complete

Do I walk in the light and flee from darkness? – 1:5-10

Do I love His Word and strive to live in obedience to it? – 2:3-6

  • Know – To realize who He is and to grasp His greatness and glory.

  • Keep – have our eyes fixed upon…guarding a prisoner.

  • Practice righteousness– to perform and accomplish

  • v. 29; 3:10a

Do I demonstrate my love of God by the way that I treat others? – 3:10b-15; 2:9-11

  • The world hates… the world loves.

  • If we cannot love within the body of Christ, then how can we love outside the body.
