Greater Than Our Hearts: Living as Children of God (1 John 3)

from By What Authority · host Raymond Ybarra

Many believers know the truth of the gospel but wrestle with the quiet accusations of their own hearts. In this episode, Raymond walks through 1 John 3 — a chapter that calls God’s people to live as the children of God they already are. Through the tension of assurance, righteousness, identity, and the inner voice that condemns, Scripture reveals a greater authority: God’s verdict in Christ. This message anchors the believer’s confidence not in emotion, but in the finished work of Jesus, who appeared to take away sins and to form His people in love and obedience.LISTENER TAKEAWAYYour heart is not your judge — God is. When your conscience trembles or your emotions accuse you, remember His verdict: you are His child now. Walk in that identity, trust His declaration over your own inner voice, and live with the confidence that Christ has taken away your sin.
