1Jn 3,4-8
· (2o) Being responsible to avoid offending God
by getting out of His way Ø quit sinning – There
is a difference between making a mistake and sinning. The key word is
"Practice". The one who practices sin is a sinner with no hint of
repentance in him, but the one who committed a sin has made a mistake for
which the person is sorry. It is obvious that a person who practices sin is
not born again by having no remorse for what they do, indicating that the Holy
Spirit is not actively working in their lives. Our conscience is our lifeline
to God; if it get broken or damaged, our relationship with God suffers. We
need to protect our conscience above everything, because it is the greatest
outward expression of God’s work in our hearts.
· (16a) The sin nature is instinctively evil Ø
Man’s flesh is related to the devil – Whether you are a Christian
or not your flesh is related to the devil in that we were all born in the
flesh and inherited Adam’s evil nature of sin. The question that remains is
whether we are going to walk in our fleshly sin nature, or if we are going to
rise above it through faith in Christ. If you consistently practice sin it is
strong evidence that you do not know God, but if you practice righteousness,
it is strong evidence that you do know God. If you didn’t know God you would
practice sin, because your sin nature would dictate that to you as the natural
course, just like a stream finds its way through the land.
