1 John 3:8 is blunt: "The one who practices sin is of the devil... The son of God appeared for this purpose to destroy the work of the devil". I (Dave) noted that "sin" feels too small for the widespread practice of lawlessness and pride we rationalize daily,. Jeremy pointed out that this practice is a rejection of reality, mirroring the arrogance of Satan. If we are practicing sin, we risk believing we are sheep when we are goats. We are free in Christ. Christ appeared specifically to break sin’s hold. We are invited into the freedom He secured, ensuring that once we understand our error, we have no hold to continue in it,. We must avoid returning to the error of our ways like a dog returning to its vomit.
