Love for God and neighbor is not creatively defined by you, but immutably defined by God in scripture. The First Four Commandments teach us how we love the Lord, our God. As we grow in outward obedience to the moral commands of God, it is tangible, objective, and can be witnessed by others.

00:00:27 there's a distinction between salvation and assurance of salvation and in this category
00:00:33 of the assurance of salvation throughout the entirety of first john three main tests are
00:00:38 listed the love test that's what i've been espousing these last seven minutes love for
00:00:46 the household of faith love for the brothers love for christians
00:00:52 the obedience test obedience to christ's commandments beginning with the moral law
00:01:00 of god which we find in its summary in exodus chapter 20 the decalogue the ten commandments
00:01:08 love for god and neighbor not creatively defined by you but immutably defined by god in scripture
00:01:18 Love for God.
00:01:19 Have no other gods before me.
00:01:21 Do not make for yourself any graven images.
00:01:24 Do not take the Lord's name in vain.
00:01:26 And remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
00:01:29 Love for neighbor and particularly fellow brothers in Christ.
00:01:36 Honor thy father and mother.
00:01:38 Do not murder.
00:01:39 Do not commit adultery.
00:01:41 Do not steal.
00:01:44 Do not bear false witness.
00:01:46 And do not covet.
00:01:48 This is how we love our neighbor.
00:01:50 The first four commandments teach us how we love the Lord, our God.
00:01:55 So the obedience test, obedience to the moral commands of God.
00:02:00 As we grow in outward obedience, it's tangible, it's objective, it can be witnessed, not just by you.
00:02:07 Here's the beauty.
00:02:09 Not just by you, but it can be co-discerned as we grow in obedience
00:02:14 and our outward obedience to the commands of God
00:02:16 is witnessed by others.
00:02:18 Namely, again, the household of faith.
00:02:21 So that I can have others, not just myself,
00:02:24 not just dependent on my own subjective,
00:02:27 fleeting feelings of confidence and assurance
00:02:29 and the love of God for me,
00:02:30 but I can look when I'm lacking assurance
00:02:32 to my wife, to my parents, to my friends, to my church,
00:02:39 and they can say,
00:02:40 brother, you're lacking in assurance right now.
00:02:42 I understand you've confessed that to us,
00:02:44 that you're struggling with insecurity and fear,
00:02:47 doubting the love of God.
00:02:48 But this is what we've seen.
00:02:50 This is what we've heard.
00:02:53 This is what we know.
00:02:54 And you should know as well.
00:03:12 We'll be right back.
