In this episode we discuss who are the son's of God vs the son's of the Devil.  It really comes down to if we still commit sin.  Do you find yourself as someone who still prays each night or week confessing and asking for forgiveness for sins that you continue to commit?  God says that is a problem.  He wants to free you from that burden and struggle.  The teachings of men will say that is normal and will always exist, but that is not in line with the truth of God and the power of God.  In the previous episode of 1 John ch 1-2 we contrasted the 2 different groups of people God addresses in His word.  Those in chapter 1 who do not have fellowship but are liars and how they can come to have fellowship vs those in chapter 2 who do have fellowship with God and how they know they have fellowship with God.The following discussions are covered in this episode:Those who are born of God practice righteousness as He is righteousWe are to be pure as Jesus is pureNo one who sins abides in ChristJesus came to destroy sinWe discuss how those who commit sin are sons of the devil.  People like to change the word into something beyond what it is saying.  They like to say someone who habitually sins.  Well it is the same word and tense used both in John chapter 8 (Jesus speaking to those who "believed" in him and later tells them they are sons of the devil) and also in Romans ch 7:13-25 where Paul discusses the condemned man who still commits or does sin (same word and tense used in 1 John ch3 who is the son of the Devil).The problem is people don't know the difference between being a slave of sin vs a slave of righteousness.  We show what God says about this topic in Romans ch 6 and ch 7.It is the power of God that changes us, puts to death the body of sin, free us from sin, makes us a slave of righteousness, and we now walk in the newness of life according to the power of God.God warns about continuing to live with 2 natures.  God says this person is an adultress.The man of Romans 7:13-25 is the man who has not yet had sin put to death, is still a slave of sin, and sin still dwells in him, the person is a slave of sin in their members.  The are convicted by the law of God of what is good, but are unable to overcome because of the sin that is still alive inside of them and in their members.  I pray you will carefully examine the scripture and consider the full word of God.  God wants everyone to experience the full freedom from sin, but this can only happen if we believe in the full words of God, the power of God, and the impossible work that He promised to perform and want to perform in you!
