Today on His Perfect Love we encounter a passage in First John that has been greatly misunderstood and misapplied.   Just like in the first century there are people today thinking they’re not saved because they’ve sinned, when they really are saved.  And then there are also many living a sinful life thinking they are right with God, when they really aren’t!   So we’re going to take some time to unpack First John chapter three, and see what’s really being communicated to us.

About His Perfect Love

His Perfect Love is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Harrisburg, with Pastor Matt VanderVen. This radio ministry is an extension of the calling found in Ephesians 4:12-15, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—"
