Do You Keep His Commandments? - 1 John 2:4

May 20, 2026 · 1 h 7 min

Show notes

Has 1 John 2:4 brought you comfort or quietly crushed your assurance? In this conversation, Jon Moffitt examines one of the most misunderstood verses in 1 John and explains what it really means to keep Christ’s commandments. Many believers read this passage as a measure of performance and walk away discouraged or fearful. You will see how John’s words were meant to bring clarity, comfort, and confidence to struggling Christians. The discussion also explains who should actually feel warned by this passage and why context matters. At the center of it all is the assurance found in Christ rather than in personal performance.
