Description: The passage 1 John 3:4-9 teaches that those who abide in Jesus do not sin. But what does this mean?

Christian Faith channel contains expository Bible teaching, testimonies and other programs glorifying Jesus Christ.

These are the facts:

1. The Creator of this world is a good God. Because He is good, He also makes moral laws to regulate things. And one day He will judge all men.

2. All people once they get to a certain age make evil choices, following the world's ways, and rejecting God's way. God's ways are expressed through the Ten Commandments, and also in the commandment to love others and to live honestly and humbly before God.

The sins committed matter because God will judge sin ever so severely on the Last Day.

3. Man is unable to save himself or pay for sins by good works, study or special knowledge.

4. Man being guilty and trapped and without power, God sent Jesus His Son into the world to save sinners. Jesus died on the cross to save sinners. He then rose from death proving Himself to be the Son of God.

5. No one has more authority than Jesus and what He says on the issue of life after death, or what God requires.

6. What God requires is that we quit trying to run our own lives, and that we believe and trust God in everything.

7. When we believe and trust God, and turn from sin, we should obey Jesus by getting baptized in water and seeking the Holy Spirit's instructions every day.

8. Normally God speaks to us through the Bible, but sometimes He will also speak directly in supernatural ways through the Holy Spirit.

9. The main thing God wants us to do differently is to love one another as He loved us. That means you need to spend time with REAL followers of Jesus if you want to be God's.
