Know God Deeply Podcast

When you read the scripture that says, "No one who abides in Him sins"… doesn't it make you cringe a little inside? After all, it seems like it's saying that Christians don't sin—which doesn't make sense with what we know is true about ourselves (and with what the Bible says elsewhere)! So what is John saying here… and what is your relationship with sin as a Christian? Join David, Adam, Corina, and Christina as they do a deep dive into 1 John 3:1-10. You'll discover… How a practice of sin sets apart the children of God from the children of the devil How thinking about who you are as a child of God helps you know how to respond when you do sin How you can practice righteousness as a Christian while guarding against a self-righteous attitude Dive into what Scripture says about sin and be in awe of the One who rescues you from sin and makes you a child of God.

Have you ever been scammed? Or do you know someone who has? It doesn't feel good. And beyond that, in some cases it can lead to absolute financial ruin. But even more devastating than being ruined financially is being duped by false teachers into believing incorrect things about God, Jesus, or yourself. False teaching can tear apart churches, destroy marriages... and wreak havoc on your spiritual life. So how can you be on guard against being led astray? The Apostle John recognizes the dangers of false teaching and calls these kinds of teachers antichrists in the letter of 1 John. See how abiding in Jesus helps give you discernment so you can be alert to what's false. Inside this episode: • Be warned of the danger that false teaching poses to the Christian's life • Understand how John's warnings against "antichrists" are still relevant today • See how the Holy Spirit can bring discernment to your life so you can evaluate truth from error Discover how you can be on guard against antichrists, so you can keep yourself and others around you from being deceived Scripture Passages and Verses Referenced: 1 John 2:18-29 About Know God Deeply: This podcast is produced by Precept.
