Benediction Church, #HamOnt: Part 4: Blessed Assurance if we Persevere

Message Date: Sunday, May 28, 2023

Scripture: 1 John 2:15-29

Speaker: Mike Mileski

The death of Tim Keller last week gave us pause to reflect on a life well-lived for Jesus, and why it seems like the exception these days. Why are there so many false teachers? Where do they come from? What are the small compromises one must make along the way to become a false teacher, a counterfeit, an 'antichrist' later in life? Could it happen to us?

In this message we considered four temptations that every Christian faces in the course of his/her faith: The temptation to love the world, the temptation to quit when things become difficult, the temptation to 'improve' the Gospel, and the temptation to be seen as important. To the degree that we're prepared for these, we'll be able to fight back, persevere, and be saved.

This is John's promise: those who persevere will stand before Jesus "confident and unashamed."
