In Ephesians 2, Paul reminds us we all begin ‘dead in our sins’ (Eph. 2:1) but are made ‘alive together with Christ’ because of His great love (Eph. 2:4-5). How can we know we have passed from death to life spiritually? God wants us to live in confidence – to know with certainty where we stand with Him. Today, John shows us how love can drive out fear.
