Can We Know God?

Pastor Jon Morales

1 John 2:12–17

Imagine standing in a crowded marketplace. Everywhere you turn, voices are shouting for your attention - “Buy this! Try that! You need this to be happy!” Bright colors, tempting smells, and shiny objects pull at your senses.

But in the middle of the chaos, you notice someone you love deeply—someone whose presence brings peace. Their voice is quieter than the others, but it cuts through the noise. You realize you don’t need to chase after every distraction because you belong to them.

That’s what John is showing us: in a world full of competing loves, the one love that matters most helps us put everything else in its rightful place.
