Repentance / Freedom
from Habitual Sin
|
2Tim 2:19 (Wey)
God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, "The Lord
knows those who really belong to Him." And this also, "Let every one
who names the Name of the Lord renounce all wickedness."
Jude 1:4-5 (NIV)
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped
in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a
license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered
his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.
Eph 5:6 (Wey) Let
no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins
that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.
Heb 10:26-27
(NIV) If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge
of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of
judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
1John 3:5-10
(Phi) You know that... Christ became a man to take away sin, and that in him
there is no sin. The man who lives in Christ does not habitually sin. The
regular sinner has never seen or known him. You, my children, should not let
anyone deceive you. The man who lives a good life is a good man, as surely as
Christ is good. But the man whose life is habitually sinful is spiritually a
son of the devil, for the devil has been a sinner from the beginning. Now the
Son of God came to earth with the express purpose of undoing the devil's work.
The man who is really God's son does not practice sin, for God's nature is in
him, and such a heredity is incapable of sin. Here we have a clear indication
as to who are the children of God and who are the children of the devil. The
man who does not lead a good life is no son of God.
1John 2:3-7 (NIV)
We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who
says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and
the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made
complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in
him must walk as Jesus did. Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command
but an old one, which you have had since the beginning.
Luke 6:46 (Wey)
[Jesus:] "And why do you all call me 'Master, Master' and yet not do what
I tell you?"
1Cor 6:9 (NIV) Do
you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be
deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male
prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards
nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what
some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
John 8:34-36
(Wey) "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that
every one who commits sin is the slave of sin. Now a slave does not remain
permanently in his master's house, but a son does. If then the Son shall make
you free, you will be free indeed."
Titus 2:11-15
(NIV) For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It
teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to
live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we
wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior,
Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to
purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
These, then, are the things you should teach...
