a year ago

The reading from 1 John 2:29-3:6 challenges the notion of true belief in God by emphasizing the importance of aligning actions with faith. The speaker questions the authenticity of individuals who claim to be believers but do not live according to their beliefs. This prompts self-reflection and evaluation of one's own actions to ensure they are in line with their professed beliefs. The speaker believes that our behavior is a reflection of our true beliefs and values, and any disconnect between the two reveals a gap in our faith. This reading encourages introspection and exploration of how our actions align with our professed beliefs.
