Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1114B recorded on August 31, 1986 teaching from 1 John 2:28-3:10 – Continue In Him.
Pastor Stevens emphasizes the urgency to “continue in Jesus,” stating that it is not a suggestion but a divine directive for all believers. He then explores the negative consequences of not continuing in Jesus, such as prayerlessness, lack of trust in God, and failing to meet the needs of others. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens stresses that true confidence in Christ is demonstrated through love, forgiveness, and generosity within the fellowship of believers, qualities which reflect the righteousness of Christ and will prevent shame at His coming.
