Archival Post
Last week we spent some time thinking about how to deal with a condemned heart. And now John moves on to recount some of the results of a heart free of condemnation. Here, he assumes we've gone through the work of getting our hearts set on God. So, now, our heart does not condemn us (21).

Outworkings and Witnesses of the Gospel’s Truthfulness – Three Outworkings

John knew the truthfulness of the gospel message and watched Jesus' life, and heard His teaching. He witnessed Jesus' death and resurrection and had seen the gospel flood the world after Jesus' ascension. And, over time, John had discovered what the gospel does inside a believer.

As I shared with you in our previous study, these last five or six chapters of the Book of Exodus, they feel fairly repetitious because we already, at a previous section in Exodus, have learned about all these different instruments and dwelling places that God has prescribed for the people of Israel.

As a reminder, we're here in the book of Exodus, in the middle of a three-chapter section where the people of Israel first rebelled in building the golden calf while Moses was still on Mount Sinai.

He's actually already begun mediating for the people a little bit in chapter 32, which we saw in our last study together. And then finally, God is going to restore the people of Israel. So that's the flow that we're in, in this little three chapter section. Rebellion of Israel, the mediation of Moses for Israel, and then the restoration of God to Israel.

Walk in Truth - Confess the Son
(1 John 2:21-25)
John was clear. The church he wrote to **knew the truth** (21). They had not partaken in the **lie** floating around at that time (21). And it's a lie still floating around today. What is it? (5 Minutes/1100 Words)

This is one of the major lessons that we will continue to learn through the back half of the book of Exodus, seeing the directions concerning the tabernacle. He longs to fellowship with his people. He wants to be at the center of our lives. He wants to be in a relationship with us.
