Text - 1 John 3:11-15

It is a most blessed truth in the Christian faith that Christ Jesus saves sinners, and only sinners. It was His primary focus while He was on the earth, and when He went to the cross. Christ's work on the cross saves us from the punishment of our sin, frees us from the power of sin, and places us at odds against sin.

Text - 1 John 3:4-10

We often speak of the commands of Scripture, the words of caution, and the need to battle sin, and it's certainly good that we do so. However, if we are not careful we can make our faith into nothing more than religious duty when in reality there are real benefits of being a child of God. In this sermon we will examine five of them.
