Show Notes

Do verses about self-examination leave you anxious or afraid about your salvation? You may have heard preaching encouraging you to “examine yourself,” in other words, measure your faith by your fruit. In this episode, Jon Moffitt walks through these well known texts in their proper context. You will see what the authors actually intended and why that matters so much. Instead of fear or self-doubt, this discussion aims to bring you comfort in Christ. If these passages have haunted you, this episode is meant to set you free.
