2 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | mbooker | 64171 | ||
Good morning again :) Another scripture that came to mind: No one who abides in Him (who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him--deliberately, knowingly, and habitually) commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him (recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him). Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous. (But) he who commits sin (who practices evildoing) is of the devil (takes his character from the evil one), for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. No one born (begotten) of God (deliberately, knowingly, and habitually) practices sin, for God's nature abides in him (His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him); and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God. 1 John 3:6-9 Amp |
