1 John 3:4-10 - Christian Is As Christian Does
Sermon Discussion Questions
1) John defines all sin as lawlessness (3:4) – a vicious revolt against God’s express will. What are ways you have sanitized or minimized your own sins?
2) The whole purpose of Christ’s first appearance was to wage war on sin and Satan (3:5, 8; see also Hebrews 2:14-15). Jesus successfully conquered the power and penalty of our sin at the cross and empty tomb. But what he has worked for and in us, we are now to work out. How are you actively waging war on your sin now?
3) The apostle argues that true Christians do not continue in sin (3:6), and even that they cannot continue in sin (3:9) because of the radically transformative relationship they have with God. Yet clearly Christians continue to sin (see 1:8, 10). What does this mean then? How have you experienced what John is describing?
