Ep 206 – 1 John 2:28-3:10 PT 3
Manage episode 182855530 series 1331988
In this, our third episode on 1 John, chapter two, verse 28 through chapter three, verse 10, we’ll be looking at John’s words of encouragement related to a coming day when we will no longer have to struggle with sin any longer. I’ve called this episode, “The Best is Yet to Come” because John wants us to know that God’s promise of eternal life comes with a guarantee of sinlessness. Sin will be done away with altogether. And at that point, we will not only be seen as righteous before God because of what Christ has done for us, we will actually be righteous. In every way. Our old sin natures will be done away with once and for all. And the point of all this, is that we should live with the promise of future sinlessness in mind. The joy of that day should give us the motivation to live in this day with a sense of determination – to live righteous lives – saying no to sin and yes to God’s will for our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin, and we have new natures and the Holy Spirit’s presence to help us. We can and should live righteous lives even now, as we wait for our future inheritance.
