Summary
What would change if we woke up every morning with the settled knowledge that the Father loves us in exactly the same way he loves Jesus? Graham Cooke draws from 2 Timothy, John 15, and John 17 to show what full persuasion actually looks like — not a spiritual achievement, but a conviction so grounded that we can predict God's goodness before the day even begins. What does it mean to truly know whom we have believed?
Key Scriptures:
+ 2 Timothy 1:12. "...for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me."
+ 1 Peter 4:8. "Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins."
+ John 15:9. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love."
+ John 17:22-23. "The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one...that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."

| 0:00.0 | What would change if you woke up every morning with a settled conviction, not a hope, but a certainty about how God feels about you? |
| 0:10.0 | Hello friends, welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. |
| 0:15.0 | Today we're exploring what it means to be fully persuaded, not as a white-knuckled act of faith, but as a settled conviction |
| 0:22.5 | about who God is and how he feels about us. Graham draws from Paul and from Jesus' own |
| 0:28.8 | prayer in John 17 to reveal something remarkable, that the Father loves us in exactly the |
| 0:34.8 | same way he loves Jesus. Before we jump in, I'd love to tell you about Brilliant Spring. |
| 0:41.3 | March 27th through 29th, a three-day virtual event with Graham, Dion and Team Brilliant. |
| 0:47.3 | It's designed for anyone who senses there's more to their relationship with God than have yet experienced. |
| 0:53.3 | More peace, more partnership, more of who he really is. |

| 1:01.2 | Let's jump him with Graham Cook. |
| 1:05.9 | So the goal of the Holy Spirit is an utter conviction in our hearts regarding the faithfulness of God. |
| 1:15.8 | So Paul put it this way in his letter to Timothy, to Timothy 1.12. He said, I know whom I have believed, and I am fully persuaded that he is able to guard and keep what I have |
| 1:34.7 | entrusted to him. So the journey that we're on, the story that we're all writing right now |
| 1:41.2 | in our lives, is that we have come to a place of being fully persuaded and nobody |
| 1:48.3 | and nothing is going to talk me out of this place. God isn't talking us out of anything. He's talking |
| 1:57.4 | us into something in him. And so a conviction is a firmly held belief fully persuaded. |
| 2:06.4 | We believe it implicitly. |
| 2:09.0 | We have full assurance of understanding. |
| 2:12.0 | We have a certainty in our hearts and an absolute reliance on the truth about the nature of God. We have a conviction |
| 2:20.9 | that love covers a multitude of sins, 1 p.4.8. You cannot have a perception of yourself that partners |
| 2:30.8 | with the flesh. We are developing convictions that connect us |
