Knowing and Believing the Love of God: 1 John 4 and the Assurance of Salvation
47m | Sep 20, 2026Do you know God loves you, or do you believe it? A fever helps your body clear an infection, you know that, and you still reach for the Tylenol the second your temperature climbs. Knowing a thing and believing it are two different experiences, and the gap between them is where most Christians live. In week 3 of the Our Father series, Pastor Jason Mayfield preaches 1 John 4, verses 7 through 21, on knowing and believing the love God has for you, and on the confidence, assurance, and peace that show up when both finally land at the same time.
