LET THIS BE MADE CLEAR TO ALL, SIN IS BREAKING GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS.
Please, share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
Every book and chapter of the Bible is interwoven with God’s great plan to bring man back to that original position of obedience from which he fell. “Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Sin, of course, is disobedience to God’s law.
He that committeth sin is of the devil” (1 John 3:8). This foolishness about God counting us righteous while we willfully keep on choosing to disobey Him is not supported in the Bible. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and that power is able to save us from all sin as well as from some sin.
JOHN urges us to heed the warning that no righteous person will be walking in willful disobedience to the Ten Commandments. He goes so far as to say that such an individual would actually be of the devil and not a Christian at all! Then he adds the words which have been debated for generations by theologians as well as laymen, “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: And he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (verse 9). Who is the SEED of the woman in the Bible? JESUS IS THAT TRUE SEED, and the truly converted child of God has Christ abiding in his heart. And while Jesus is there he cannot sin. In order to sin he will have to put Jesus out of his heart. Christ is not the minister of sin and cannot share the heart of one who chooses to deliberately disobey the commandments of God. John is not saying that a Christian loses his power of choice, but he is emphatically declaring that Christ does not remain in the heart of the willful transgressor.
From the very beginning, God has made obedience the grand test of love and loyalty. No one can say that God was unconcerned over the behavior of our first parents. Their outward actions mirrored a divided heart. This is also why Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
God has not changed that test since the Garden of Eden. He still requires exactly the same kind of obedience. The only difference is that in Eden our holy unfallen parents had, by nature, the power to obey. Unfortunately, as the children of post-fall Adam and Eve, we have inherited carnal natures which are not subject to the law of God, except by the miracle of conversion and “Christ in you.” This is why Jesus declared, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). And to the rich young man who asked, “What shall I do to be saved?” Jesus replied, “Keep the commandments” (Matthew 19:17).
There is no contradiction in these two statements of the Master. None can be saved without experiencing the new birth, and none can be saved who walk in willful disobedience of the commandments. The two things operate as two parts of the same salvation experience.
True Faith produces full Obedience and therefore true righteousness by faith includes SANCTIFICATION as well as JUSTIFICATION. Those who would lay down their lives in death rather than DISOBEY God will be the ONLY ONES who will refuse the MARK OF THE BEAST!!!
