No One Who Remains in Him Sins
Practiced sin is something we may have become too tolerant of. We become so used to doing things in a certain way that imagining our lives without those things seems difficult. We justify the things we do and perpetrate these broken cycles. However, God came to take away not just some sin, but all sin. A person’s capacity to remain and abide in Christ is drastically contested by every sin that person commits.
Our goal is to abide in Christ - to dwell in Him every day of our lives. This precious gift is worth way more than anything sin offers us. Giving up a practiced or tolerated sin is an act of faith: faith that Jesus gives us something better than sin can ever give us.
Devotional Question:
What am I tolerating in my actions that I should not tolerate anymore? The answer is something that you may need God to reveal to you. Prioritize your purification from these things into action steps by speaking to spiritual leadership that you trust.
About this Plan
1 John is one of the most quoted books of the Bible, and for a good reason: John understood God’s love in a special way. As we explore the pages of this book, let that be our main goal: to understand the love of God better and better, and to grow closer to Him.
