1 John 2:12-14 Sermon: 6 Joyful and Wonderful Realities of Knowing Jesus

The message highlights the difference between worldly affirmations and the biblical truths in 1 John 2:12-14. While affirmations from a comedic skit or a "health and wealth" preacher may lack depth and reality, John provides six spiritually grounded affirmations for Christians: forgiveness of sins, knowledge of the eternal God, victory over evil, intimacy with the Father, spiritual strength, and the abiding Word of God. These truths, rooted in Christ's work on the cross, serve to encourage believers, assure their salvation, and inspire holy living while emphasizing the joy of knowing God.
