My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His Commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. (1Jn 2:1-6)
Our Saviour is now our Advocate for when we occasionally sIn, but grace is not a license to sIn, for sIn is an affront to GOD's Holiness. Continuing in sIn, especially when confronted by the Spirit of conviction and the Word of GOD is not of GOD, it is outright disobedience and rebellion, revealing the true nature and character of the one involved in sIn. He has said to be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer, and our love for our GOD should be reflected in our obedience, not to get or to keep our Salvation, but because of what He has already done.
We are to walk as He walked, in humble obedience to the will and Word of GOD. He was always doing the work He saw the Father doing, and we should be as well. GOD is at work all around us, and wants to use us and guide us in His work. He wants us to surrender to Him and be vessels unto honour, meet for the Master's use and prepared unto every good work. We do the work of ministry to glorify Him, to reach others with the Gospel, and grow to be more like Him, all with and through the Spirit and the Word of GOD in us.
As we walk with Jesus Christ, we are to minister to those around us as He directs, that they might see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. As we keep His Word and do it, we are to love one another and disciple one another in His Word that we may all grow into the full measure of Him. As we abide in the Truth of Salvation through faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, we are to take the Gospel to this lost and dying world, that those who believe the Good News of Jesus Christ might repent and have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
