1 John 3--Assurance through Love and Obedience
Even after establishing three ways a Christian can KNOW with Assurance that they are truly a child of God, John reiterates himself again to drive his point home. He raises the issue of keeping God's commandments and showing Christ-like love for one another as two JEY ways to know that a Christian is truly saved. And even if a believer still feels condemned in their heart or conscious, they can still approach God in prayer with confidence; because God already knows their heart and knows all things.

Growth
We admit it. We have an agenda: we want you to join the church. All believers in Jesus in every time and place are members of the universal church, but committing to a local church is a vital part of the spiritual life for every Christ-follower. In our teaching series, CHURCH 101, we are taking several weeks to describe the foundational commitments of church membership. Our members are those who have accepted the mission of helping others become passionate followers of Jesus through the ministry and community of this church. Over the next few weeks, we will discuss what that means as we explore practically how we can live for Jesus as a part of His church.
