When our hearts condemn us, we don't have to let our feelings determine what is true. God is greater than our hearts, and the God who knows our imperfections most completely is the same God who loves us perfectly through Christ. Because of Jesus, we can confidently draw near to our Father rather than pull away from him. Christianity isn't about trusting ourselves to do enough, but putting the full weight of our lives on Jesus and trusting him for who he truly is.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! Today's readings take us through Jeremiah 28–30 and 1 John 3. Jeremiah confronts false promises while offering God's genuine word of restoration and hope to people living in exile. Then John invites us to behold the extraordinary love of the Father, who calls us his children. Today's devotion asks us to consider what we see when we look at our lives. Do we see only sin, regret, shame, and failure, or can we allow the love of God revealed in Jesus to reframe our vision? TODAY'S DEVOTION: What do you see when you look at your life? Do you see your sin? Your regrets? Your past? Your shame? Sometimes these things can grow so large in our vision that we struggle to see anything else. We begin to imagine that our failures tell us the deepest truth about who we are. But John urges us to look again. This time, he directs our attention away from ourselves and toward the love of God. "See how very much our Father loves us," John says, "for he calls us his children." What we behold makes a difference in who we become. When we fix our eyes only on failure and shame, we become increasingly shaped by fear, condemnation, and regret. But when we behold God's love, we begin to see ourselves through the truth revealed in Christ. You are a child of God. This identity is not grounded in your success, religious performance, feelings, or ability to maintain confidence. It rests upon the steadfast character of God and the finished work of Jesus. You did not earn your way into the family. Love has been bestowed upon you. Seeing yourself through the lens of this love begins to transform everything. You are freed from the lies of guilt and shame and invited to live as someone deeply and securely loved. And when we know ourselves as beloved, we become free to love others. So let the Word reframe your vision today. Look again. Do not allow your worst moment to become the final interpretation of your life. Behold the love of God. Behold Jesus. See yourself as the Father sees you, as his child, held and enfolded in love. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Jesus came on a rescue mission: to take away our sin and destroy the works of the devil. Through his death and resurrection, we have both forgiveness and freedom. As children of God, we don't make peace with what Christ came to destroy. Instead, we continue fighting sin and pursuing holiness as we live in light of all Jesus has done.

Sunday, John concludes the argument he began in chapter three. 1 John 3:4-18 was a very difficult section to work through. John told us that the evidence we have been born of God is the transformed life that strives to keep His commandments (3:4-10). Then, he continued with the evidence of loving the brethren. He said, “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death” (3:14). Last Sunday, we ended in v. 18 which admonished us to love not in word only but in deed and truth. However, throughout the exposition of chapter 3, we have seen that the grammar and verb tenses illustrated a pattern of life, not perfection. Those born of God have not yet been made perfect, but if there is no pattern of life that strives to obey His commandments and invest oneself in loving the body of Christ, scripture gives no assurance of salvation regardless of what we profess. That being said, all believers fail and sin in this life. How do we balance the examination of evidence and the reality of life in this fallen world? When we see our failures and sins, there are times when our hearts condemn us. This condemnation is NOT the same as conviction from the Holy Spirit, and we will define the difference Sunday. In 1 John 3:19-24, the apostle shows us how to respond when our hearts condemn us: not by looking inward for enough goodness to outweigh our sins, but outward to the God who is greater than our hearts and knows everything. We reassure our hearts before Him through the real (though imperfect) evidence of His transforming work, resting in the confidence that comes from a settled trust in Christ's finished work, as we rely on the Spirit's ongoing presence: the proof that we abide in God and He in us. I. Reassuring the Condemning Heart (19-20) II. Resting In An Uncondemning Heart (21-23) III. Relying On The Spirit's Evidence (v. 24)

As we continue our journey through 1 John, this Sunday we arrive at a passage many consider among the most unsettling verses in the New Testament. John writes because some had left the fellowship while still claiming the name of Christ, chasing a different gospel and a different view of Jesus. He wants true believers to know that they possess eternal life and perfect acceptance with God through Jesus' death and resurrection alone. To that end, he repeatedly calls his readers to recognize the evidences of their salvation. In 1 John 2:28-3:10, John presents the clear marks that distinguish the children of God from those who belong to the devil. But as we enter this passage, we must carry forward the point of last week's passage, 1 John 2:18-27. There, John called his readers to abide in Jesus, and we examined what he meant: abiding means remaining, or resting, in the “word you heard from the beginning” and in “the anointing you received.” Now, 1 John 2:28-3:10 shows that abiding, or holding to our faith in the gospel, produces both a settled identity as God's children and a life that increasingly resembles our Father. This matters because John says things like, “No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God” (1 John 3:9). The only commands in this passage are to “abide in Him” (v. 28) and to “let no one deceive you” (3:7). Everything else John presents is evidence, not a checklist of works we must do in order to abide in Him. The heart of the message is this: our confidence at Christ's return rests on God's gospel love, which has already made us God's children, and the evidence of that settled fact is the transformed life the gospel inevitably produces. Therefore, if we do not see the “family resemblance” of God's children in our lives, the solution is not simply to try harder not to sin; the solution is to trust in Jesus, that is, to abide in Him. As you prepare for Sunday, re-read 1 John 2:18-27 alongside 2:28-3:10. Read the passage repeatedly and become familiar with John's exact wording, because I will need to move quickly to work through the whole passage in one sitting. Verses 2:28-29 function as a thesis statement. John says two things: abide in Him and you will have confidence at His coming, and everyone who practices righteousness has been born of God. Then, in 3:1-3, John proves the first point: as God's children, we have confidence at Christ's coming. In 3:4-10, he proves the second point: everyone who practices righteousness has been born of God. So we will examine John's arguments first (3:1-10), then end with his declaration (2:28-29). I. Our Confidence If We Abide In Him: Transformed Identity (3:1-3) II. Our Evidence Of Abiding In Him: The Transformed Life (3:4-10) III. Our Calling: Abide In Him (2:28-29)

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, we continue our verse-by-verse study through 1 John 3:19–24, discussing what it truly means to have assurance of salvation and the evidence of genuine faith.Can you know you're saved? What is the difference between conviction and condemnation? How do faith and works fit together? We explore how a believer's love for Christ and love for others reveal a transformed heart, why obedience flows from a relationship with Jesus—not an attempt to earn salvation—and how the Holy Spirit works to conform us into the image of Christ.Join us as we examine Scripture and encourage one another to keep our faith anchored in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross.Scripture: 1 John 3:19–24Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

1 John 3 Aaron Wallace 07-26-26 by Reliance Community Church
The Father's love gives us a new identity, secures our eternal future, and transforms how we live right now. Through faith in Jesus, we are not merely forgiven but welcomed into God's own family as his children. That identity is not defined by our failures, our past, or what others think of us. One day we will see Jesus face to face and be fully conformed to his likeness. That hope is not just a comfort for eternity; it's a call to pursue holiness today.

Why would God give us Eternal Life? Sermon
Newer is usually better. Cameras, phones, and TVs have all improved dramatically over the decades. But there's one message John says was never in need of an upgrade: love one another. In this episode, we look at 1 John 3:11-24, where John contrasts the hatred of Cain with the sacrificial love shown at the cross, and shows how that love becomes evidence of a settled conscience before God.
This week Pastor Jacob preaches on 1 John 3:11-18
The sermon examines the biblical definition of love as a supernatural, sacrificial act of the will rather than an emotion, specifically within the context of believer-to-believer relationships. It argues that hatred among Christians often stems from spiritual envy and guilt caused by the righteous behavior of others, illustrating this dynamic through the story of Cain and Abel. The speaker emphasizes that while believers can manifest unrighteousness and hate their brethren, such actions indicate a broken fellowship with God rather than a loss of salvation. True agape love is presented as the distinguishing mark of genuine discipleship, requiring adherence to divine truth and boundaries even when it causes emotional pain. Ultimately, the message calls for self-examination to ensure that one's conduct reflects the righteousness of Christ and maintains healthy spiritual connections.
The sermon examines 1 John 3:4-9 to define the believer's test of discipleship through the lens of lawlessness and manifested behavior. It argues that sin is not merely a mistake but an act of defiance against God's authority, placing the sinner in opposition to Christ's work and fellowship. The preacher distinguishes between the old sinful nature and the new regenerated nature, asserting that while believers struggle with both, their true spiritual identity reflects righteousness. By analyzing Greek grammar and theological context, the message refutes perfectionism and hyper-grace, emphasizing that abiding in Christ requires active obedience. Ultimately, Christians are urged to starve their sinful nature by feeding on Scripture, thereby aligning their lives with the truth of the Gospel.
This sermon examines the test of agape love as a marker of spiritual maturity and discipleship within the Christian community. The preacher emphasizes that true love is not merely emotional but requires self-sacrificial action, specifically financial generosity toward believers in need. It argues against enabling sin while advocating for help given with right motivations and truth. The message connects this practical love to the effectiveness of one's prayer life, asserting that obedience and compassion before God lead to confidence and answered prayers. Ultimately, it calls believers to manifest divine love through tangible deeds rather than empty words.
In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, the brothers continue their study through 1 John 3, exploring what it truly means to love as Christ loved us. Looking at 1 John 3:16-24, they discuss Christ's sacrificial love, serving fellow believers with humility, forgiving those who have wronged us, and putting our faith into action rather than just speaking about it. Along the way, they connect these verses with Jesus washing His disciples' feet, the teachings of James, and practical examples of showing compassion to others. As always, the conversation is filled with laughter, personal stories, and a desire to encourage believers to live out their faith in both truth and love.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.
