Washer's 'He Will Not Let Children Run Wild'

Is 1 John meant to test if you are truly saved? In this episode, Jon Moffitt responds to a sermon from Paul Washer at the Shepherds Conference 2026 where 1 John is used as a test of genuine faith. Jon explains why this is a misapplication and walks through the original purpose of the letter. 1 John is meant to strengthen assurance rather than create doubt. Jon also highlights areas of agreement and offers clearer biblical paths for applying similar warnings. If you want clarity on assurance and how to read 1 John rightly, this episode is for you.
