1 John | A Series About Abiding in Christ – Practicing Righteousness

1 John 2:8-3:10

Abiding in Christ not only entails making intellectual affirmations but also pursuing ethical and behavioral transformation.

Romans 12:1-2

The Logic

The concept of sin was an invention of the devil who Jesus came to destroy along with his demonic initiative for our eternal death. This fact makes intentional, habitual, ‘enjoyable’ sin inconceivable to Christians.

Romans 6:6,11-14

The Motivation

God the Father has made us His children and God the Son has promised to return and bring our salvation to completion!

Ephesians 1:3-5 // Luke 12:35-38

The Direction
Sin decreasing in regularity, severity and satisfaction; The gospel becoming more precious, the Word and the church more prioritized, the mission more urgent!

Philippians 3:8-15 // Matthew 6:33

“What is holiness? It’s not simply being set apart from sin. It’s being set apart to the glory and love and work of God.” — Michael Lawrence
