How CAN WE KNOW that We KNOW GOD? | Christian Confession of Truth

November 13, 2022 Speaker: Pastor Scott Slaughter Series: KNOWING GOD, A Study of 1st - 3rd John

Topic: Faith, Saving Faith, Effectual Calling, False Faith, Curiosity Scripture: 1 John 4:13–16

What does it mean to confess within the context of Christianity? Many churches recite a confession or a creed each Lord’s Day. Why do they do that? When did this start? It is a very ancient practice that extends even into Old Testament worship but became more prominent in the churches of Christ. It was done so that true faith in the true God might be clearly presented to God’s people. John is concerned that believers have confidence in their profession - confidence that they truly know God. He appeals to their experience and to their belief in certain truths about Jesus Christ and the plan of God the Father. Furthermore, John expresses this in terms of progressive knowledge, of a growing and maturing of faith which results in greater confidence and experience of God’s presence in the life of the believer.
