Jesus Knows Your Faith: A Moment of Reflection

Hey Guys,

Yesterday’s sermon, “Jesus Knows Your Faith” (John 2:23-25), was a powerful and convicting message about the difference between superficial belief and true saving faith. We were reminded that Jesus sees beyond our words, actions, and church attendance—He knows the true condition of our hearts.

Many in Jesus’ day followed Him because they were impressed by His miracles. But as John 2:24 tells us, “Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, because He knew all people.” These people believed in Jesus, but He did not entrust Himself to them because their faith was not genuine.

Have You Examined Your Faith?
We asked an important question during the sermon: Does Jesus truly know you?
  • Are you following Jesus for what He can do for you, or because He is Lord?
  • Is your faith just an outward display, or does it come from a heart that has been changed?
  • Have you truly repented of your sins and surrendered your life to Christ?
Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:21 are sobering:
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.”

If yesterday’s message stirred something in your heart—if you feel convicted that you may have a false faith—don’t ignore it. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Next Steps: Responding to the Message
If you realize that your faith has been more about religion than a relationship, don’t walk away unchanged. Here’s what you can do:
✅ Repent and Believe: If you have never truly surrendered to Christ, don’t wait. Confess your sin and place your faith in Jesus as Lord. (Romans 10:9)
✅ Pray for Assurance: If you struggle with doubt, ask God to confirm your salvation through His Word and Spirit. (1 John 5:13)
✅ Commit to Growth: Genuine faith leads to a transformed life. Get into the Word, pray daily, and surround yourself with believers who will help you grow. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
✅ Talk to Someone: If you need prayer or have questions, reach out! We would love to help you take your next step in faith.

Jesus Knows Your Heart—What Will You Do?
Yesterday’s message was not meant to create fear but to lead us to truth. Jesus doesn’t expose false faith to condemn us but to call us to real, saving faith in Him. If you felt convicted, don’t brush it aside—respond!
