If We Claim To Be Without Sin; We’re Making Him Out To Be A Liar

23 Aug

1 John 1:8-10 – 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

There might be some pretty nice people out there, but I haven’t met anyone without sin.  As a society who has drifted away from God, many people don’t even know what God considers sin anyway.  They know what they consider sin and that is what counts.

Jesus came to die for our sins.  God in the form of the Son, dying on the cross, is the only purification from death from our sins.  He knows we are sinners.  It’s a free gift.

So why doesn’t everyone want a free gift that will bring them back to the Lord?

Because since the beginning there has been an enemy roaming out there with his demon followers convincing others that they can be like God and be the God of their own lives.  It started with Eve and hasn’t stopped.  Rebellion is a spirit.  We have a free will and God doesn’t want it any other way.  What one does with their free will is which side they choose to be on.  It determines what they will do in the spiritual war that we are all a part of.  We’re the playing field.  God wants us to come home, Satan wants us to rebel.

The problem is most people have no idea how high the stakes are.  Choose God and start reading His love letter for all our lives who want Truth.
