Have you ever played the role of bandwagon fan? You don't pay attention to your team until the playoffs, and then you dust off your jersey and Google relevant storylines so you can be part of the fun? I wouldn't fault you for that. You can be whatever kind of hockey fan you want to be.
But are you ever tempted to treat your Christian faith and life that way? To "wear Jesus' jersey" but not actually put in time or effort on a daily basis?
John warns us that that's not real faith. He calls for sincere love as a fruit of faith, but then he does this beautiful and he points troubled hearts to a God who is greater than them.
Listen to this week's sermon to see your God and to know how much greater he is than your heart.
