1 John 3:19-24

Welcome to “The Reading 1 John Podcast,” where Scripture meets the everyday challenges of faith. In this episode, host Peter Englert sits down with Pastor Ron Hall to unpack the rich, practical truths of 1 John 3:19‑24. Together they explore: What it means to have confidence before God even when our hearts feel condemned. The battle between a deceitful heart and a God‑empowered conscience, and why the latter should be our spiritual barometer. Truth as an active “adjective”—living out the gospel rather than merely believing it—pointing us to Christ as the embodiment of truth. The link between love, obedience, and the Holy Spirit’s witness, showing how genuine belief is evident in the fruit of our lives. Real‑world applications, from marriage and gossip to daily habits, illustrating how a clean conscience and obedient habits lead to freedom, joy, and spiritual maturity. Peter and Ron weave biblical insight—from Jeremiah’s warning about the heart, to Romans 8’s inner testimony of the Spirit—with contemporary concerns like “fake news,” cultural desensitization, and the search for assurance. Their conversation offers listeners practical tools for cultivating a heart that reflects Christ, a conscience that discerns rightly, and a life that confidently approaches God in prayer. Stay tuned as they bring the ancient text into today’s reality, inviting you to experience the peace and purpose that come from “truth‑living” and obedient love. 🎙️✨ Access more notes at / https://bit.ly/3VuenCf
