Love in Deed and Truth: The Real Test of Authentic Christianity (1 John 3:16–24)

This sermon explains that the clearest evidence of genuine new birth is not religious form or spiritual gifts, but a Christlike love that lays down its life in costly, practical ways for brothers and sisters. It contrasts empty words with sacrificial action—sharing material goods, responding when a brother is in need—and shows how such obedience quiets a condemning heart, gives confidence before God in prayer, and flows from the Spirit’s indwelling presence in those who keep His commandments and abide in Christ.

About In the Word

In The Word is the teaching ministry of Gold Country Calvary Chapel in Grass Valley, CA, with a strong emphasis on the whole counsel of God’s Word. Scripture is taught book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse—covering both Old and New Testaments. Areas of focus include doctrine (the essential principles of Scripture), prophecy (future events), theology (the nature of God), Christology (the person and work of Christ), pneumatology (the Holy Spirit), soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (the purpose of the church), and eschatology (the future of the church). Pastor Mike Warren has studied prophecy for more than 40 years, and his ongoing series, Prophecy Updates, continues to provide timely and relevant insight. Listeners can explore the six-part series recorded years ago—which remains strikingly applicable today—as well as more recent updates that highlight how prophecy is unfolding in real time. Topics include Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38 & 39, the rapture, the deception of the antichrist, and other key end-times prophecies. In addition, Pastor Mike’s Doctrine Study provides a clear, systematic overview of the essential principles of Scripture—foundational truths for every believer. These teachings are being used by both laypeople and ministers around the world to strengthen faith and equip the church.
