NO CHRISTIAN IS A SINNER AND NO SINNER IS A CHRISTIAN (part 2)

 

You shall overcome the temptation meant to destroy you because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional:
NO CHRISTIAN IS A SINNER AND NO SINNER IS A CHRISTIAN (part 2)
You Cannot Be a Christian and a Sinner at the Same Time
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
    The Word of God is clear: “Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9). This does not refer to isolated acts of sin, but a continuous habit of sinning. Likewise, 1 John 5:18 says, “We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.”
    True Christians have the nature of Christ, not of sin. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists those who will not inherit the kingdom of God: “Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners.” These terms refer to willful, unrepentant sinners.
   Contrary to modern teachings that twist grace as a license to sin, Titus 2:11-12 says, “The grace of God...teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts...to live soberly, righteously, and godly.” GRACE IS POWER TO LIVE HOLY—not permission to sin. Revelation 21:8 warns that the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire.
   Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). To claim Christ and live in sin is self-deception. A man cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). You are either a child of God or a servant of sin—not both (Romans 6:16).
  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and power to overcome sin by casting out the thoughts of the particular sin seducing us.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome temptation.
