1 John 1:6 “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” We have already mentioned that when we walk in darkness that we no longer enjoy fellowship with the Lord. This truth is confirmed to us in the above quoted passage of scripture. To have fellowship with the Lord means that we sense His constant presence. We clearly hear His voice when He speaks to us. We know the leading and guidance of His Spirit as He witn

1 John 2:9-10 “He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. (10) He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.” Before we discuss the consequences of sin, let me say that it would be unjust of God to allow any of these consequences to come upon us if we did not have the ability to walk free of sin. God is not unjust. And so it is completely possible for His saints to avoid all of these conseque

Revelation 2:21-22 “And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. (22) Indeed, I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.” We have seen thus far that the Lord never chastens His children the moment they commit sin, for He always gives them time to repent first. In other words we experience His grace. In the passage of scripture quoted above the Lord Jes

Hebrews 12:5-11 “And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; (6) for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." (7) If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? (8) But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are

1 John 2:12-13 “I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. (13) I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.” Spiritual growth is very similar to natural growth. In the natural we are born into the earth as babies and from that point on we develop and grow

Romans 2:4 “Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?” Another aspect of grace is manifested through the goodness and patience of God. In the passage of scripture quoted above the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul teaches us that God’s longsuffering (patience) and His goodness is there to lead us to repentance. In other words instead of judging us straightaway for our sins

1 Peter 1:13-16 “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; (14) as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; (15) but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, (16) because it is written, "be holy, for I am holy.” Some in the body of Christ have become confused because of a distorted m

Romans 5:1-2 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2) through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” In the passage of scripture quoted above the Holy Spirit reveals to us that when we are saved that we are able to stand in this grace that has been delivered to us. And so we see that not only are we saved by grace, but we also stand in grace.

John 1:14-17 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. … (17) For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” No one deserves to be saved. Everyone deserves the wrath of God for all eternity, for everyone before they come to Christ is an enemy of God and stands guilty before Him (Romans 3:19). Nevertheless God so loved the world tha

Galatians 5:16-17 “I say then: Walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (17) For the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” We have seen that we overcome sin in the flesh by exercising the fruit of the spirit called self-control. In order for us to exercise the fruit of self-control however, we must walk in the spirit. We saw earlier

Galatians 5:22-24 “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (24) And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” Walking free from sin does not happen overnight, and the reason for that is because there is a specific fruit of the spirit that is needed in order to walk in this manner. And so, just as fruit in the natural d

Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.” The Lord Jesus Christ, the head of the church, has instructed His church to be baptized in water, for in the passage of scripture quoted above our Lord Jesus told us to baptise all disciples.
