The EX Daily Word for June 1, 2009Practicing Sin1John 3:7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one whopractices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one whopractices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; andhe cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God andthe children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practicerighteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.This is something that we don't hear about often. But it's in the bible.1John talks about us not practicing sin if we are born of God. So, why areChristians practicing sin on a daily basis, living in sin, or defending sinwith "once saved always saved" doctrinal beliefs? Well, it's becauseperilous times are here! People are wanting what they want! They want tofulfill every sinful or fleshly desire they had when they were in the worldand use God's grace to protect them. But the underlying factor stillremains. If you are truly born of God, you do not practice sin. So what areall these "new" Christians that practice sin born of? Well, they have a formof godliness but deny the power. A homosexual that sits in church, plays theorgan, directs the choir, preaches in the pulpit, and carries on with hishomosexual lifestyle is not born of God. How do i know? Because the BIBLEtold me so. It says that if you are born of God, you do not practice sin!So, what's all the fuss about? People just don't want to believe the entirebible. How can you serve under a homosexual pastor? How can you allow ahomosexual to lead your worship in church? How can you allow someone that isliving with their boyfriend or girlfriend to hold a leadership position in yourchurch when the bible says that those that do these things are not born ofGod? If you are not born of God, then you are of the devil, right? So then,why are we allowing people to practice sin and yet be leaders in ourchurches? Would Jesus allow that? Would Jesus allow a believer that is nothis kindred to lead his people? NO WAY! So, this form of godliness is not ofthe true God, but it's of the antichrist. To deny the power of God isblasphemy and an unpardonable sin according to Mark 3:28. People hear me. Iknow most churches are not on this page anymore and many of them are on theprosperity page, or the motivational page. But this is in the bible. If youare truly born again, you do not practice sin. If you are practicing sin,you are not born of God and will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. Surewe all have gotten off or may get off every now and again. But the beautyof it is that true birth in God will cause you to overcome the sin of the world.You will not continue in sin if you are truly born of him because to be trulyborn again means that you are not the same and deliverance will come! So,i would suggest that you be born again! If you have been born again and youare practicing sin, then be born again AGAIN! Do it til you stop practicingsin. You should never think you have it made because of eternal security. Be bornof God and there will be no question of whether or not you are eternally secure.Suggested Reading: 1 John 3 in it's entirety! (The NAS Version)©2009 G.
