    God puts our hearts at rest through HIs commands to love and believe.

    May 6, 2012 1 John 3:18-24 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

    Turning Away From Sin And Its Enslavement - Test #2 Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2012
     | 6,025 views

    The fact is if you are enslaved by some habit of sin, and you knowingly continue in that sin, you cannot truly love God. If you did, you would work at getting through that sinful habit.

    Do you really love God? We need to be sure if we really love God the way God expects. And I have to ask the question “Do you consistently turn from sin or do you find that you have some little habits that are sinful and you just can’t seem to break away from them? Are you enslaved by ...read more

     | 5,653 views

    The sin I tolerate allows the devil to harm me and cuts me off from God’s power to stop it.

    Why do you say sin is inevitable when God says it isn’t? 1 John 3:5-6 And you know that He (Jesus) was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

    John goes to great lengths at the start of this passage to assure us that we are members of God’s family now. It’s not how we live that guarantees us a place in God’s family. We are God’s family. But how we live shows that.

    A simple salvation message to the world

    Who are you? This is a question before you and I. What is your answer? A child of God or a child of Satan? Why do you quickly say I am A child of God?
