(Nuggets from 1 John 5:19)
Whosoever is born of God DOES NOT COMMIT SIN. This is one major proof of your identity.
If you are born of God, sin will be loathsome to you, because God abhors it. Anyone who commits sin is representing the devil because he is the father of sin and the grand ancestor of all sinners.
"The whole world lies in wickedness.."
What does this expression mean?
It means that THE WHOLE WORLD IS INUNDATED WITH SIN and anyone who identifies with sin is a rebel and a representative of the devil.
Since man caused his own crash by his rebellion against God, God could have allowed him to plunge on in darkness and destruction by virtue of His HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS. However, this other great attribute of God, His LOVE, would not allow Him to DESTROY MANKIND for their sins at the very moment they fell in the Garden. God had a plan for man’s DELIVERANCE, REDEMPTION and RECONCILIATION - to SACRIFICE His only begotten son so that anyone who believes in Him would not PERISH, but have ETERNAL LIFE.
ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED JESUS AND BELIEVED IN HIM UNTO SALVATION ARE TRULY OF GOD.
They are not party to INIQUITY and WICKEDNESS in this world. Disobeying God and living a life of rebellion is sheer WICKEDNESS and INGRATITUDE because it simply means you don't rate God or place any value on the DEATH OF JESUS on the cross.
There are two camps in this world:
1). The camp of the Children of the Kingdom.
2). The camp of satan
The former are pilgrims who know their worth and are always relying on God's grace to sustain them and keep them from free and unscathed from all evil going on in this world today. They have GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP, and they are CALLED BY HIS NAME.
The latter are the emissaries of satan, helping him to fulfill his mission on earth, disobeying God, daring Him as it were, and luring others to do the same. They are marked for eternal doom with their master - the devil, at the end of time.
The big question is:
WHERE DO YOU BELONG?
THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SWITCH CAMPS TODAY, AND COME OVER TO THE LORD'S SIDE.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
