Assurance and the Confession of Sin

·57 min·2 clips

Augustine wrote: It was foul, and I loved it. I loved my own undoing. I loved my error, not that for which I erred, but the error itself.

A detailed expository sermon on 1 John 1:5-10 examining the relationship between God's perfect holiness and the Christian's response to sin. The teacher contrasts three types of false confession (sin doesn't matter, sin no longer exists, sin hasn't been committed) against the standard of true confession, using Augustine's Confessions and R.C. Sproul as supporting voices. The central argument is that correct assurance of salvation must begin with a right understanding of God's character as perfectly pure light.
