About this message
What does it mean to be a Christian? John answers with the message he heard from Jesus Himself: God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. Bogdan Pishtoy walks through 1 John 1:5-2:2 and shows three marks of a Christian's whole life: walking in the light, ongoing confession of sin, and assurance of Jesus as our advocate. He offers a simple four-question exercise for practicing confession.
For anyone asking, because of their sin, 'Am I even a Christian?'
