Am I Saved or Self-Deceived? with Jonny ...

JONNY ARDAVANIS
About this episode

Are you truly saved, or are you deceived about your standing before God? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into John Chapter 8 where Jesus confronts religious people who thought they were saved but weren't.

Key Topics: False assurance, true salvation, Christian faith, biblical assurance, John 8 commentary, spiritual deception, children of God vs children of the devil, religious but lost.

This isn't about being a "bad person" - it's about the difference between religious activity and genuine faith in Christ. Many people assume they're saved based on church attendance, family heritage, or moral behavior, but Jesus reveals the heart condition that matters.

Perfect for: Christians questioning their salvation, pastors, Bible study groups, anyone seeking biblical clarity on assurance of faith

Bible Passages Discussed: John 8:12-59, Romans 10, 1 John 3:10, Ephesians 2:3
