Have you ever had the urge to do whatever you wanted, even when you knew it was wrong? Sure, we all have been tempted to sin. Unfortunately, we all stumble and fall to sin. But what about someone who continues to commit the same sin time after time? What about the person who continues to live in their sin?
Today’s Verses:
1 John 3:4-10
No one ever said reading the Bible would be easy. God does not attempt to sugar coat the way He feels about sin. It is clear in this passage that God hates sin. He loved you and me so much that He sent His son Jesus to take away our sins, not just to cover them up. Vs. 6 says that “No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning.” This is a pretty strong statement. I have always struggled with this verse. There have been times in my past that I have continued to fall in the same area of sin. It scared me to think that if I continued to live that life of sin, that God said that if I truly was born of God, I would not continue to sin. God’s ultimate desire is that we truly repent, which means to turn from our sin and follow after Him. He wants us to live a righteous life, one that is wholly devoted to becoming like Christ.
