1 | Salvation is a gift to be accepted | Luke 6:46 | Ray | 145076 | ||
Hi Angel, It is sad that people would look to verses like 1 John 3:9 with the idea of assuaging their guilt and making light of their individual sin. We certainly don't want to "practice" sin or "continually sin", but we are expected to practice righteousness and love our brother. We are expected to be kept from sin. We are kept from sin by Him. He is our protector, guide, and rescuer, our Redeemer. 1 John 4:4, "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world." 1 John 3:23, "And the one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him..." Why would one call Him, "Lord, Lord" and not do the things He says? From the heart, Ray |

Hi, Ray! "Why would one call Him, "Lord, Lord" and not do the things He says?" Exactly! Some how, for some, it has become more important to rely on a perceived built-in exoneration rather than to do as He says! Notice what 1 John 3:23 speaks on? Love! It is by abiding in His love that we abide in Him. If we abide in Him, He abides in us and our joy is complete! God Bless! Angel |
