Be ready for the Lord. If you’re sinning when he returns, what do you think will come of it? Let’s see what the God’s word says:
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:1-8
I would think it’s reasonable to say we do have free will. What makes it so slippery is our will is divided into two warring factions, flesh and spirit.
What motivates me to post on threads like this one is to help anyone who might be tempted to sin because of deceptive spirits telling them “don’t worry, all Christians sin.”
You all and others here have posted good comments and for this I thank you.
Be ready for the Lord. If you’re sinning when he returns, what do you think will come of it? Please see post #92.
Do you think it’s possible to not be sinning when the Lord comes?
If you think that you can go without sinning, then you must sleep a LOT!
