Title: Why the Cross is Life Changing (3 of 7)
Series: The Power of the Cross
Scripture: 1 John 2:1
Author: Scott Maze
Have you ever met a person who says they are a believer in Christ? By way of preview, there are three kinds of people that you are here this morning. Hold that thought while we read 1 John 2 together.
Today's Scripture
"My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked" (1 John 2:1-6).
There are three kinds of people that you are here this morning. The first group of people are made up of those who do not know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The second group are people who know Jesus as the Lord, but they are not sure that they know the Lord. You know the Lord, but you do not know that you know the Lord. There's a lot of confusion in your minds around your relationship with Jesus Christ. The third group is made up of those people who not only know the Lord, but they know that they know the Lord. They are not only going to heaven, they are enjoying the trip. Everything we are reading today is applied to the second and the third groups. Everything written here is for those know the Lord and either know that they know the Lord or know the Lord and are confused about knowing the Lord.
