I John 3 says
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with
actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth
and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn
us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
Do you want to know and be assured that you belong
to Him?
All you have to do is believe that when your own
heart condemns you and you are reminded again of your shortcomings and
failures, you know the truth and you stand on it.
You can rest in his presence because God is
greater than your heart and the condemnation you feel.
In fact, God knows your heart and he knows the
heart of every man and woman – it’s deceitfully wicked at the core.
However, at the beginning of this passage, he
calls us “children.” When we believe and
love God, and it shows in our faith and actions, we don’t have to listen to
condemnation any longer.
The truth is that Christ has set us free.
Free to do what?
Rest in his presence.
