Amen, Amen: Trust and Assurance in Christ

January 12, 2025

Series: Truly

Book: John

This Sunday, we began a new sermon series focusing on Jesus’s use of the phrase “Amen, Amen” (or “Truly, Truly”) in the Gospel of John. Through the story of Nathaniel’s encounter with Jesus (John 1:43-51), we explored how doubt is not a barrier to faith but an invitation to deeper understanding. Jesus’s words to Nathaniel reveal that He is the bridge between Earth and Heaven—the fulfillment of Jacob’s dream.

Key takeaways:

  • Doubt is okay—it’s a natural part of faith. Like Nathaniel, we can bring our questions to Jesus.
  • Jesus reveals Himself—through His words and actions, we see His role as our Savior and connection to God.
  • Our response is trust—allowing Jesus to transform our doubts into faith and assurance.
