The Apostle John, in 1 John 5, affirms our salvation comes only by believing that Jesus is God’s Son. Then John reminds us that if we love God and if we love others around us, then the evidence of our love must be seen in our obeying God’s commands. This sermon looks at several questions. What is the evidence of our love for God? How are we doing at obeying God’s commands? What is the antidote for our disobedience? What liberates us from our sin and restores us to our true identity as children of God.
