    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020
     | 1,531 views

    John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more

    Let us look at the end result of those that refuse to hear God's instruction, and do not heed His rebuke concerning the holy state of matrimony. God has foreordained that sin should be its own worst enemy.
