Blessed Assurance | Worldly Love

We continue our sermon series Blessed Assurance, where we explore the idea of finding assurance of our salvation through scripture. Today, we look at 1 John 2, where John instructs us not to love the world. The three categories of worldly lusts are the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life. These are our appetites, affections, and accomplishments—the lusts that operate in open rebellion against God’s love and His commands. True salvation is when God’s glory takes on the ultimate weight of your heart, and you quit putting the weight on the lusts of the flesh, eyes, and the pride of life. The way we lessen these is to embrace the love of God fully.
What worldly love do you need to stop pursuing? What’s holding you back from embracing God's love today? As always, we’d love to connect with you, take the time to answer any questions you have, and pray with you. Take the next step in your faith journey by visiting burnthickory.com/next.
