Summary
What gives a Christian true confidence? In this message, David Gale, Men’s Ministry Elder, walks through 1 John 2:1–6 and unpacks a powerful truth: our confidence is not found in our performance, but in the finished work of Jesus Christ—and the transforming work He is doing within us. John reminds us that while we are called to turn from sin, we are not left without hope when we fall. We have an Advocate in Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, who stands on our behalf. He is the propitiation for our sins—the full and sufficient payment that reconciles us to God. But this confidence doesn’t stop at what Christ has done for us. It also shows up in how we live. As God’s love takes root in our hearts, it begins to shape our desires, our obedience, and our daily walk. True assurance grows as we follow Christ—not to earn salvation, but as evidence of it. This sermon challenges us to ask: Where is my confidence rooted? Do I see the evidence of God’s work in my life? Am I walking in the same way that Jesus walked? Ultimately, the Christian life becomes a response of love—where obedience is not a burden, but a joyful declaration: “Lord, as You wish.” Be encouraged to rest in Christ’s finished work and to walk confidently in the life He has given you.
