This document discusses the importance of forgiveness and love according to Christian teachings. It makes the following key points:
1) Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God with all your being and love your neighbor as yourself. True Christians cannot love God without forgiving others and loving all people, as they are all God's children.
2) People have free will to choose God or not, but once choosing God they must obey His commandments, not live as they choose. You cannot serve both God and wealth/Satan.
3) To overcome sin requires diligent prayer, Bible study, asking forgiveness, and relying on God's strength, not one's own efforts. Forgiveness and love
This document is a religious tract that discusses the concept of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. It outlines 5 steps or stages that people progress through in their relationship with God: unconcern, concern, conviction, repentance, and saving faith. It encourages the reader to repent of their sins, accept Jesus as their savior, and commit their life to following Him. It asserts that taking this step of saving faith will result in forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The tract provides biblical references and explanations to support its message about finding salvation through faith in Christ.
Repentance is the first step in beginning a walk with God and is vital to maintaining that relationship. Repentance involves acknowledging one's sins and faults, resolving not to repeat offenses, and attempting to live according to God's teachings. It requires admitting guilt, making amends, and living a life that pleases God. While humans often justify sins based on circumstances, the Bible teaches that God does not condone sin in any form. True repentance involves understanding what displeases God, acknowledging one's sinful nature, repenting of sins, and seeking to live righteously according to God's will. Repentance is fundamental to having a relationship with God and finding redemption through faith in Jesus Christ.
Lies about sex, your teens hear all the timeDenverCoC
This document provides guidance on how to have open and positive conversations with teens about sex and sexuality from a biblical perspective. It recommends that parents:
1. Approach the topic positively and elevate sex rather than cheapen it.
2. Set clear standards based on scripture while explaining the reasoning behind God's commands on sexuality.
3. Communicate creatively through activities, resources, and symbols to start an ongoing dialogue in an age-appropriate manner.
4. Discuss issues with confidence, acknowledging one's own past openly but focusing on God's forgiveness and desire for one's child's purity.
5. Make prayer a priority for protection, guidance, accountability and one's child's future
The document discusses biblical passages related to sexual purity and morality. It provides numerous quotes encouraging believers to flee sexual immorality and lust, honor their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, and remain faithful in marriage. The quotes also teach that God understands human temptation but provides a way of escape, and that Jesus can empathize with human weakness through his own experiences with temptation.

God's love is unconditional in that he loves his people despite their disposition toward him. God demonstrated his unconditional love by sending his son Jesus Christ to die for sinners while they were still rebelling against God. As Christians, we need to understand that while God's electing and regenerating love is unconditional, his saving love is conditional upon faith in Jesus Christ. God's love is shown through his gracious act of sacrificing Jesus to save mankind from sin and reconcile them to himself.
This document discusses the key aspects of salvation through Jesus Christ. It begins by establishing that all humans are sinners separated from God. It then explains that God, through his love, sent Jesus to die for mankind's sins so that believers may be saved. The conditions for receiving salvation are to repent of sins and have faith in Jesus. Those who accept Jesus as their savior through prayer will be forgiven of their sins and granted eternal life with God.

This document contains testimonials from two individuals about their journeys from darkness to finding light in Christ. The first testimony describes a life full of selfishness, sex, drugs and putting things before family, until hitting rock bottom from a divorce and struggling business. This led to finding God's word and promises, which drew the individual to Christ. Christ gave peace, purpose and overcoming what they once were. Now the Holy Spirit guides them to help others.
The second testimony describes a life centered around selfish desires and staying drunk/high to cope. Through treatment and accepting Christ, the individual realized they were believing lies that kept them in bondage. Reading the Bible transformed their thoughts and God began changing them.

4th Sunday of Lent – Gospel Illustration - Luke 15:1-32 – How Can A Loving Go...Daniel Mayne Sr.
1) God does not desire for anyone to go to Hell and does not actively send people there.
2) According to the Bible, Hell exists, but people choose to go there of their own free will by rejecting God.
3) While God is loving, He is also just and holy. If people reject God and His laws, choosing to disobey Him, then they are responsible for the consequences of going to Hell. However, the choice is ultimately theirs.
Know God More - Won by One - One Truth Joan Soliven
The gospel, or good news, is that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. As the Bible teaches, all people have sinned and fall short of God's perfect standard of holiness, separating us from God. But God loves us and sent his Son Jesus to die for our sins so that we may be forgiven and have eternal life. To receive this salvation, one must believe that Jesus died for their sins and trust in him as their savior.
God is the essence and source of love. The Bible describes God's love through His sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to save humanity from sin. As the greatest expression of love, God gave His only Son so that all may have eternal life through faith in Him. Additionally, God's love is perfect and without end, as shown through the qualities of love described in 1 Corinthians 13. Since God is love, He created humans with the ability to love as well, through His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
The document provides an overview of the separation between man and God due to man's sinful nature, and presents Jesus Christ as the only way for man to be reconciled with God. The 3 key points are:
1) Man is sinful and separated from God, unable to know God's love and plan.
2) Jesus Christ is God's provision for man's sin - he died for our sins and rose from the dead, and is the only way to God.
3) Individuals must receive Jesus Christ by faith as their savior and lord in order to know God's love and have their sins forgiven, restoring their relationship with God.
1) God loves all people regardless of their sins or past mistakes. His love is shown through sending Jesus to die for people's sins.
2) All people are sinners who fail to live up to God's standards. No good deeds can erase sin and make people right with God.
3) To be saved from sin and death, people must admit they are sinners, believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead to save them, and confess their faith in Jesus. Accepting God's gift of salvation through Jesus is represented by baptism.
Christianity opposes arrogance. The Bible teaches humility, compassion, kindness and patience. It instructs Christians to honor others above themselves and to be completely humble. While some claim that believing Jesus is the only way to salvation is arrogant, Christianity is simply repeating what Jesus himself said. Exclusivity alone does not make something arrogant. The Bible condemns arrogance and teaches that love and arrogance are incompatible. True Christianity promotes humility and love rather than arrogance.
Sin is being separated from God and His kingdom. It cuts one off from the fellowship and companionship of God, His saints, angels, and all righteousness. This separation occurs on earth by living in sin instead of with God, and will be complete after death when sinners are forever divided from the righteous in the outer darkness, isolated from God and the heavenly Jerusalem. True spiritual life is abiding in God, but sin rejects this intimacy and cuts one off from the divine will, wisdom, and plan for salvation.
This document provides an overview and summary of a sermon given on Galatians 5:13-25. The key points are:
1. Christian freedom is not freedom to sin but freedom from sin and freedom to serve others through love.
2. Christians face an ongoing conflict between their sinful nature and living by the Spirit. They must choose not to gratify their sinful desires.
3. Living by the Spirit produces fruit including love, joy, peace and more. Those who live habitually in sin will not inherit God's kingdom.
4. Christians can live victoriously by crucifying their sinful nature through denial of self and by continually walking with the Spirit.
- The author recounts personal life trials and visions that helped strengthen his faith, such as a childhood vision of hell that deterred him from sin. As a teenager, he escaped a dangerous situation through trusting God.
- As a young adult, he lost his job rather than compromise his faith with an immoral boss. He explains how sex can be a great temptation used by Satan to bring down servants of God.
- The author believes that those called to great works for God must pass through great trials to strengthen their faith. He overcame a period of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts by fasting, praying, and finding renewed purpose through God's word.
1. The document discusses how love is the central message of Christianity according to 1 John. True followers of Christ demonstrate love for one another, as loving others is evidence that one belongs to God.
2. It explores how hate is defined as murder by Jesus and John, and contrasts the loving nature of God with the hateful nature of the world. Christians must demonstrate radical love like Christ by laying down their lives for others.
3. Loving others in deed, not just word, is how Christians walk as Jesus walked. Indifference to the needs of others would contradict God's loving nature. True faith motivates Christians to acts of love.
1) God's plan is to give people eternal life through his son Jesus Christ. However, sin separates people from God and deserves death as punishment.
2) Jesus paid the penalty for sin by dying on the cross. Through faith in Jesus, people can be forgiven of their sins and gain eternal life.
3) To receive salvation, one must acknowledge their sins, believe in Jesus, and commit their life to following him. By praying to accept Jesus, one becomes a child of God and gains eternal life.

God's love is defined as sacrificial love (agape) that involves laying down one's life for others. Jesus demonstrated this by sacrificing his life for humanity. We are called to love others in the same way Jesus loved us - by forgiving, understanding others, finding common ground, sharing our lives with them, and sharing our relationship with God, in order to transform enemies into friends. When we love others in this way, it completes God's love among us and allows us to experience God's presence in our lives.
The document discusses the concept of the "Prison of Death" which represents the state of being born in sin. It describes how all of mankind is conceived in this prison due to our sinful nature, and are naked, ashamed, afraid, blinded by Satan, and selfish. We are dead in our sins and trespasses. The lock on this prison is death, as the wages of sin is death. Jesus broke the power of sin and death by his death on the cross. Those still in the prison of death are hopeless unless God extends his mercy and grace. The document encourages reflection on whether we live still trapped in sin or have found freedom through Christ.
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Galatians 5:13-25. The sermon discusses Christian freedom and living by the Spirit rather than indulging sinful desires. It defines key terms like the Spirit, sinful nature, and being led by the Spirit. It also outlines the fruit of the Spirit and how to crucify the sinful nature and walk in step with the Spirit. The sermon emphasizes that the battle for Christians is between the sinful nature and living by the Spirit, and encourages keeping in step with the Spirit through becoming heavenly-minded, holiness-minded, and Christ-minded.
This document encourages the reader to keep trying when they fall down, reach out for help from others, and to keep putting in effort towards their goals as it is possible to achieve them if they are willing to keep trying and do not give up.

The document discusses the importance of forgiveness and love according to God's commandments. It argues that true Christians cannot claim to love God while failing to forgive others or love their neighbors. Four reasons are provided for why Christians cannot practice sin: 1) Sin is incompatible with God's law. 2) It is incompatible with Christ's work to take away sins. 3) Christ came to destroy Satan's works. 4) It is incompatible with the Holy Spirit's work of imparting a new, righteous nature to believers. The document stresses that one cannot serve both God and Satan, and that true believers will show the fruit of righteousness through habitually forgiving and loving others.

The document describes a solution-focused, brief pastoral counseling final project. It outlines a 4-phase counseling process to help "care-seekers" address problems in their lives. The goal is to work in partnership between the counselor, care-seeker, and Holy Spirit to develop self-made goals and tasks promoting a new life with God. Key aspects of the counseling approach include maintaining a caring environment, viewing the care-seeker as the expert, focusing on solutions rather than problems, and assuming God is already actively working in the care-seeker's life.
The document discusses the Lutheran view of grace and faith. It argues that all people are sinners by nature and incapable of saving themselves or doing good works to earn salvation. It states that people deserve God's punishment and eternal damnation for their sins. However, God sent his son Jesus to pay the price for sins and offers salvation as a free gift of grace received through faith, not works, so that all may be saved.
The document outlines seven marks of being "born again" according to the apostle John:
1. Being baptized and dying to sin (Romans 6:1-4)
2. Not willfully committing sin (1 John 3:9, 5:18)
3. Believing that Jesus is the savior (1 John 5:1)
4. Doing righteousness (1 John 2:29)
5. Loving other believers (1 John 3:14)
6. Overcoming the world (1 John 5:4)
7. Being careful of one's soul (1 John 5:18)
The author examines each mark in detail from scripture and
The document discusses Christian perspectives on sexuality from multiple passages in the Bible. It explores both sides of the issue, including perspectives that homosexuality is sinful based on passages like Romans 1, but also perspectives of grace, love and redemption based on passages like 1 Corinthians 6. Overall, the document suggests Christians should approach discussions on sexuality and identity with humility, focusing on Christ's message of love and redemption rather than political debates, and recognizing both shared sinfulness and God's offer of forgiveness.
This document is a religious tract that discusses the concept of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. It outlines 5 steps or stages that people progress through in their relationship with God: unconcern, concern, conviction, repentance, and saving faith. It encourages the reader to repent of their sins, accept Jesus as their savior, and commit their life to following Him. It then provides assurances that those who do so are saved and experience changes like a desire to know God and obey Him. The tract was published by Step Up To Life Ministries to help people find salvation.
What shall i do to inherit eternal life-Margaret DavisAntonio Bernard
This document discusses what is required to inherit eternal life. It says we must allow God's love to come into our hearts. While outward obedience to God's law is important, what is most vital is having the love of God in our souls. We need to surrender our supreme love of self. The document shares an experience of the author realizing through discussion with her father that she only had a superficial understanding of salvation and true righteousness. She was motivated to study diligently to understand what it means to be a Christian and have victory over sin through God's power, not just human effort.
Perfect love is essential for revival, spiritual gifts, and God's kingdom to operate properly. The greatest commandment is to love God and others. Perfect love casts out fear and is the opposite of hate. Christians must abide in God's perfect love by knowing and obeying his word to experience his miracles, freedom, and victory over the world.
1. The passage discusses the importance of confessing sins in order to have intimacy with God and fellowship with others. It states that we cannot claim to have a relationship with God if we are living in spiritual darkness and not dealing with our sin.
2. Forgiveness frees us from the penalty of sin through justification by God, while cleansing is the restoration of our relationship with God through the ongoing process of holiness. We must confess our specific sins to be cleansed and experience the kind of sorrow that leads to repentance and salvation.
3. The passage encourages meditating on and applying the need to confess sins to the Holy Spirit in order to experience intimacy with God and not perish. It emphasizes being sensitive
God protects believers from many attacks and wants them to rely on him during times of trouble. While the devil uses doubts and lies to deceive, God promises to be with believers and use trials to strengthen their faith. All troubles are preparing believers for eternity, so they should walk by faith in God's promises rather than their own understanding. Maintaining intimacy with God through prayer, obedience, and treating their body as God's temple will help believers receive God's blessings and salvation.
24th November 2016 - Loving God - Is it an emotion, feeling, or a decisionThorn Group Pvt Ltd
1) Loving God is primarily a decision rather than an emotion, as God commands believers to love Him with all their heart, soul, strength and mind.
2) While feelings of love for God may accompany this decision, they are not the basis of love for God, which stems from His love for humanity as demonstrated through sending Jesus.
3) Believers can grow in their love for God by spending time with Him through prayer and studying who He is, as revealed in the Bible, which allows them to appreciate His attributes like wisdom, truth and righteousness.
1. The document discusses how to get to heaven according to the Bible. It states that while some believe there are many paths, the Bible teaches there is only one - through believing in Jesus Christ.
2. It explains that all people are sinners due to the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, and that even one sin makes someone imperfect and unable to enter the perfect place of heaven.
3. The only way to heaven is through believing that Jesus, God's son, died for people's sins and rose from the dead. By putting one's faith in Jesus, his righteousness is credited to the believer and they can receive the free gift of eternal life in heaven.

Repentance is the first step in beginning a walk with God and is vital to maintaining that relationship. Repentance requires acknowledging one's sins and faults, resolving not to repeat offenses, and attempting to live according to God's teachings. It includes admitting guilt, making amends, and following God's word. While humans often justify sins, true repentance requires recognizing actions that displease God and refraining from such sins to restore our relationship with Him. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice, but one must confess and renounce sins to find mercy.
The document discusses living a selfless life focused on God rather than material possessions. It argues that one should yield completely to Jesus, love God and others unconditionally, and be thankful in all things. Living selflessly means focusing less on oneself and more on freely giving to others, as Jesus did the ultimate act of selflessness in sacrificing himself on the cross to save humanity from sin. The key is striving to manifest the fruit of the spirit - love, joy, peace and more - in one's life through renewing the mind with God's word.
This is the slideshow I walked the youth through to present to discuss the controversial subject of homosexuality from a biblical perspective and how a Christian should respond.
This document provides guidance on growing spiritually through bearing spiritual fruits. It discusses the fruit of the Spirit according to Galatians 5:22-23, which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. It emphasizes that Christians should demonstrate these fruits in their actions and lives. For each fruit, it provides Bible verses explaining what it means and how Christians can cultivate it. The overarching message is that God wants Christians to grow spiritually by developing these Christ-like qualities in their character and behaviors.
God is perfectly holy, loving, and just, while people are sinful and fall short of God's standards. The penalty for sin is death and separation from God. Jesus lived a sinless life and died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, satisfying both God's love and justice. Eternal life is a free gift received only through believing in Jesus, which involves realizing one's sinfulness, inability to save oneself, and placing one's trust fully in Jesus alone. True belief leads one to receive Jesus into their life.
1. The doctrine of original sin proposes that all humans are guilty before God because of Adam's sin and inherit a sinful nature from birth that makes it impossible to obey God fully.
2. The presentation examines the biblical account of the origin of sin in Genesis 3, noting that sin began when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, not because God made them sinful.
3. While humans inherit a sinful nature from Adam, God still holds each person accountable for their own sins and expects perfection, though as sinners we are unable to fulfill God's expectations without Jesus.
The document summarizes key passages from Romans 8 about certainty for Christians. It makes 3 main points:
1) Romans 8 begins with no condemnation for Christians and ends with no separation from God's love. Christians are safe, secure, and cannot be separated from God.
2) There is a struggle between the flesh and Spirit, but Christians have the Holy Spirit living within them and are no longer restricted by the flesh.
3) As children of God, Christians can be certain of the Holy Spirit's presence, guidance, intercession, and God's assurance. Nothing can separate Christians from God's love. The chapter promises no worries, no doubts, no charges against Christians, and no separation from God.
The document discusses the authorship, purpose, and themes of 1 John. It was likely written by the apostle John in Ephesus between AD 80-95. The purpose was to strengthen the readers' faith in Christ and assure them of eternal life. Key themes are that God is light and love. John warns against sin and false teachers. The document provides an outline and overview of the contents and main points of each section of 1 John.
1. 1
God has been impressing upon me to share what it means to forgive and love one
another. These two topics revolve around God’s greatest commandment. In Matthew 22:36-40,
Christ was asked which is the greatest commandment in the Law. And He said to him, “YOU
SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL
YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these
two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Christians cannot love the lord our God with all of our heart and all of our soul when we
fail to forgive and to love God’s children. Who are Gods’ children; every person who has ever
been born are God’s children. That may be a tuff pill for you to swallow, but this truth is of God,
as only God creates life. Satan is powerless in creating life. Satan is the master of deception,
who introduced hate and its offspring (i.e. envy, strife, discontent, greed, maliciousness, scorn,
pride, etc.) into the world.
God does not force His children to believe in Him or to follow His commandments.
Free-Will is paramount for those who are God’s children. People have the free-will to choose
God, or not to choose God. However, once we chose to follow God, we are commanded to
perform as God instructs us to, not as we chose to. This is where the rubber meets the road. In
Matthew 6: Christ tells us; “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and
wealth.” Simply stated, “You cannot serve God and Satan!”
So the question must be asked; “Are you going to become a true Christian who
overcomes your sin nature through diligent prayer, studying the bible, asking God for
forgiveness when you sin and for the strength necessary to overcome sin, or are you going to
2. 2
attempt to overcome sin on your own accord?” Attempting to do the latter is foolishness, and a
lie that Satan wants you to believe: He likes to tell you, “you can do it on your own; do not
worry; you are a successful man/woman and need no one to assist you.”
I chose to live my life on my own accord for 50 years. While I was successful in
business, raised three beautiful children and my friends looked-up to me, I did not know how
much of a failure and a fool I was until I came to know who God was and what He expected of
me as His child. When we choose to obey God, He gives us the tools that are necessary to
overcome our flesh and our sin problems. Anything else is just a temporary fix which leads us
into a false sense of security. Think about this for a moment, what have you ever done in your
life that has amounted to anything when you did not ask God what He wanted you to do and/or
follow His instructions. You may be saying a lot of things like; this and that has made me a lot
of money, friends, and companions, yet again I remind you these are only temporary – These too
will pass away – I assure you. Only what God gives us will last forever – period! And I am not
talking about material possessions. I speak of the fruits of His Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; (Gal 5:22-23).
Forgiveness and Love go hand in hand. You cannot love if you do not forgive - vice
versa. You cannot say I have forgiven this person when you hold a grudge against them. You
cannot say you love someone when you hold a grudge or hate someone who has personally
harmed you, or for that matter, someone who has never personally harmed you, but has harmed
someone else. You are living by your own accord living this lie. You are living by Satan’s
standards when you act in such a manner. Christ shares the following through His apostles:
1 John 2:9-11, the Apostle John shares, “The one who says he is in the
Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his
3. 3
brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who
hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where
he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”
Matthew 6:14-15; “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father
will not forgive your transgressions.”
1 John 3:15; “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you
know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”
For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we
should love one another; not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And
for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brothers were
righteous (1 John 3:11-12).
Abel’s deeds were righteous because he chose to follow God and God’s commandments.
He chose to please God and not himself. He did not choose to place his self-centered, egotistical,
pompous values before the values God commands and freely gives to those who give their lives
to Him. When you fail to forgive and love, your deeds are evil. You cannot exhibit the fruits of
God’s spirit love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-
control; (Gal 5:22-23); when you fail to forgive and love. You are living a lie which only Satan
approves of. You are continuing in sin and are capable of turning these deeds, this sin, into
chronic sin which has further dire consequences, which will be discussed herein.
We are told in 1 John 3:1-10: “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that
we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know
us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared
4. 4
as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will
see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He
is pure.” This does not mean that we are to wait to change our ways until we are in heaven with
Christ: We are not to practice evil, we are to overcome evil, and we are not to be in chronic sin.
We must fight our sin with the power of God so that we can love and forgive.
1 John 1:7; a genuine Christian walks habitually in the light (truth and holiness), not in
darkness (falsehood and sin). Their walk also results in cleansing from sin as the Lord
continually forgives His own. Since those walking in the light share in the character of God, they
will be habitually characterized by His holiness (3 John 11), indicating their true fellowship with
Him (James 1:27). A genuine Christian does not walk in darkness but only in the light (2 Cor.
6:14; Eph. 5:8; Col. 1:12, 13), and cleansing from sin continually occurs (cf. v. 9).1
John continues here; “Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is
lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children,
make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is
righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born
of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of
God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.2

John was very concerned that Christians know how to tell the true from the false; the
genuine from the artificial; true believers from false ones. He presents tests here and throughout
this letter to help determine the validity of anybody’s claims to be a Christian.3
1John 3:4–10: These verses deal with the Christian’s incompatibility with sin. In this
section, John gives 4 reasons why true Christians cannot habitually practice sin:
John 8:31; So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If
you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine
John 8:34–36; Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone
who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the
son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Rom. 6:11; Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also
live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die
again; death no longer is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once
for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead
to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
2 John 9; anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of
Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and
the Son.
1John 3:4; Commits sin: The verb, “commits,” in the Gr. conveys the idea of making sin
a habitual practice. Although genuine Christians have a sin nature (1:8), and do commit and need
to confess sin (1:9; 2:1), that is not the unbroken pattern of their lives. A genuinely born again
3 Ibid.
6. 6
believer has a built-in check or guard against habitual sinning due to a new nature (“born of
God”—v. 9; Rom. 6:12). Sin is lawlessness.4
The first reason why Christians cannot practice sin is because sin is incompatible with
the law of God which they love (Ps. 119:34, 77, 97; Rom. 7:12, 22). The term “lawlessness”
conveys more than transgressing God’s law. It conveys the ultimate sense of rebellion, i.e., living
as if there was no law or ignoring what laws exist (James 4:17). Living by your own accord,
albeit, by Satan’s standards.5
1John 3:5; He was manifested to take away our sins. A second reason why Christians
cannot practice sin is because it is incompatible with the work of Christ. Christ died to sanctify
(i.e., make holy) the believer (2 Cor. 5:21; Eph. 5:25–27). To sin is contrary to Christ’s work of
breaking the dominion of sin in the believer’s life (Rom. 6:1–15).6
1John 3:6; does not sin. Like the phrase “commits sin” of verse 4, the sense conveyed
here is the idea of habitual, constant sinning. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known
Him. If no check against habitual sin exists in someone who professes to be a Christian, John’s
pronouncement is absolutely clear—salvation never took place.7
1John 3:7; let no one deceive you. The word “deceive” means “to be lead astray.” Since
false teachers were attempting to pervert the fundamentals of the faith, the possibility existed that
some Christians might be fooled into accepting what they were advocating. To prevent this
deception from occurring, John repeatedly emphasized the basics of Christianity, e.g., the need
for obedience, the need for love, and the need for a proper view of Christ. Practices

7. 7
righteousness: The genuine believer’s habitual lifestyle of righteousness stands in sharp
contrast to those false teachers who practiced sin (cf. vv. 4, 6). Since Christ died on the cross to
transform sinners, those truly born again have replaced the habit of sin with the habit of
righteous living (Rom. 6:13, 14). Just as He is righteous: Those who are truly born again
reflect the divine nature of the Son. They behave like Him, manifesting the power of His life in
them (Gal. 2:20).8
1John 3:8; he who sins: This phrase means “who habitually practice sin” (see notes on
vv. 4, 6). Of the devil: The phrase gives the source of the false teachers’ actions. The term devil
means accuser or slanderer. Not only does Satan oppose God and His plan, but is the originator
and instigator of sin and rebellion against God and His law (v. 4; see notes on Eph. 6:10–17).
Therefore, all the unsaved are under the diabolic influence of Satan. Their sinful lifestyle reflects
their satanic origin (see note on Eph. 2:1). John contrasts the children of God with the children of
Satan in terms of their actions. While those who are truly born again reflect the habit of
righteousness, Satan’s children practice sin. From the beginning: Since Satan was originally
created as perfect and only later rebelled against God (Is. 14:12–14; Ezek. 24:12–17), John
probably means the moment of his rebellion against God, the beginning of his rebellious career.
Since sin characterizes him completely, so everyone characterized by sin must derive from him
(cf. John 8:44). For this purpose … that He might destroy.9
A third reason why Christians cannot practice sin is because Christ came to destroy the
works of the arch-sinner, Satan. The devil is still operating, but he has been defeated and in
Christ we escape his tyranny. The day will come when all of Satan’s activity will cease in the
universe and he will be sent to hell forever (Rev. 20:10). Works of the devil: This summarizes a
8 Ibid.
9 Ibid.
8. 8
variety of the devil’s activities: sin, rebellion, temptation, ruling the world, persecution and
accusation of saints, instigation of false teachers, power of death (e.g., Luke 8:12; John 8:44;
Acts 5:3; 1 Cor. 7:5; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 6:11,12; 1 Thess. 2:18; Heb. 2:14; Rev. 12:10).10
1John 3:9; the fourth reason why Christians cannot practice sin is because it is
incompatible with the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who has imparted a new nature to the believer
(John 3:5–8). Born of God: John wrote here of the new birth (John 3:7). When people become
Christians, God makes them new creatures with new natures (2 Cor. 5:17). Believers have God’s
characteristics because they have been born into God’s family. This new nature exhibits the
habitual character of righteousness produced by the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22–24). John repeats this
phrase twice for emphasis. His seed: The new birth involves the acquisition of a seed, which
refers to the principle of life of God imparted to the believer at salvation’s new birth. John uses
this image of a planted seed to picture the divine element involved in being born again.
Remains: The word conveys the idea of the permanence of the new birth which cannot be
reversed, for those who are truly born again are permanently transformed into a new creation (2
Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 2:10). He cannot sin: This phrase once again conveys the idea of
habitual sinning (see vv. 4, 6).11
1John 3:10; this summary verse is the key to vv. 4–10. Only two kinds of children exist
in the world: children of God and children of Satan. No one can belong to both families
simultaneously. Either one belongs to God’s family and exhibits His righteous character or one
belongs to Satan’s family and exhibits his sinful nature.12
10 Ibid.

9. 9
1John 3:10b; he who does not love his brother. This phrase introduces the readers to the
second aspect of the moral test, i.e., the test of love (as in 2:7–11). John develops this thought
through vv. 11–24. The false teachers not only had an erroneous view of Christ’s nature and
displayed disobedience to God’s commands, but they also displayed a distinct lack of love for
true believers, who rejected their heretical teaching.13
1John 3:11–24; John elaborates on the love life of genuine believers. For those who are
truly born again, love is an indispensable characteristic. The new nature or “seed” (v. 9) that
God imparts not only exhibits holiness but also love as a habitual characteristic (John 13:35;
Rom. 5:5; 1 Thess. 4:9). Those who practice love give proof of the new birth, while those who
do not, have never been born again.14
In closing, I pray that the words spoken here have unveiled your eyes, and God has
revealed to you, that what you may be doing through your failure to forgive and to love, at best
jeopardizes your fellowship with our Heavenly Father and at worst - your salvation. I challenge
you to call Satan a liar, and call upon God to help you overcome you inability to forgive and to
love as He has forgiven and continues to love and forgive us.
