Six Things God Wants You to Remember | 1 John 5
from Amwell Church of the Brethren · host Amwell Church of the Brethren
In a world filled with confusion and shifting truths, the Apostle John wrote a letter to the early church that remains strikingly relevant today. His purpose was to warn believers against false teachers who were trying to distort the gospel and cause confusion over the divinity of Christ. Drawing from 1 John 5, this message explores six foundational truths that God wants every believer to hold onto firmly. Whether you are facing intellectual arguments or spiritual doubts, these "know-so" certainties provide a solid foundation for a personal, unshakable relationship with Jesus Christ. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 & 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: • The Only Way to Salvation: Understanding that Jesus is not just one of many paths, but the exclusive way to the Father. • The Proof of Salvation: How our love for God and others serves as the primary evidence of a transformed life. • The Witness of the Trinity: Why the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit are the three heavenly witnesses that confirm Christ’s deity. • The Security of the Believer: The comforting reality that you cannot lose your salvation because you are held in the Father's hand. • Confidence in Eternal Life: Moving from a "hope-so" faith to a "know-so" conviction that God has begun a good work in you and will complete it. • A Knowable God: Why God is not a distant, unreachable force, but an infinite Creator who deeply desires for you to know Him personally 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵? • You are feeling overwhelmed by the moral confusion of today's culture and need absolute truth to stand on. • You have struggled with the unpardonable sin and need to know the biblical definition of God's forgiveness. • You want to understand the plurality of God (the Trinity) as revealed from Genesis to the Epistles. • You need encouragement that a personal relationship with Jesus is more powerful than any intellectual argument. 🔔 1 John 5:12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 👉 Subscribe for weekly messages that strengthen your faith and explore the depth of Scripture. ⏱ 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗦: 0:00 – Children’s letters to God 1:02 – Purpose: Warning against false teachers 1:51 – Modern confusion over Christ’s divinity 2:37 – Scripture Reading: 1 John 5:1–21 5:34 – Defining the unpardonable sin 6:55 – 1: Jesus is the only way to salvation 8:34 – Inclusive scope vs. exclusive source 10:09 – 2: Proving salvation through love 11:50 – 3: The Trinity bears witness 13:03 – Hebrew titles and plurality in Genesis 14:04 – Knowing the Father, Son, and Spirit 15:21 – 4: Assurance that you cannot lose salvation 16:53 – The remedy for sin: Confession 18:35 – 5: Knowing you are saved 19:50 – 6: Knowing God personally 21:55 – Helen Keller: Knowing God’s name 23:18 – Morality and the existence of God 24:58 – Story: The Marxist and the Christian 26:33 – Final Prayer
