Authentic Christianity: Forgiven, Cleansed, and Confident in Christ (1 John 2:1–6)
Sunday, March 15, 2026
This sermon contrasts dead religious form with authentic Christianity, showing that true believers both confess their sins and long to be cleansed from them, hating the old nature that still battles against the Spirit. It emphasizes Jesus as our ever-present Advocate and propitiation who not only removes sin’s penalty but also God’s wrath, giving believers peace with God and strong assurance. Flowing from this grace, real Christians grow in obedience to Christ’s commands and a desire to walk as He walked, revealing a heart-level relationship rather than mere external religion.
