A Pure Heart An Holy Sinless Life

A Pure Heart An Holy Sinless Life
2
1 John 31-10See how much the Father has loved
us! His love is so great that we are called Gods
children and so, in fact, we are. This is why
the world does not know us it has not known God.
My dear friends, we are now Gods children, but
it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we
know that when Christ appears, we shall be like
him, because we shall see him like he really is.

3
Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps
himself pure, just as Christ is pure. Whoever
sins is guilty of breaking Gods law, because sin
is a breaking of the law. You know that Christ
appeared in order to take away sins, and that
there is no sin in him. So everyone who lives in
union with Christ does not continue to sin but
whoever continues to sin has never seen him or
known him.
4
Let no one deceive you, my children! Whoever does
what is right is righteous, just as Christ is
righteous. Whoever continues to sin belongs to
the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the
very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this
very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.
5
Whoever is a child of God does not continue to
sin, for Gods very nature is in him and because
God is his father, he cannot continue to sin.
Here is
the clear difference between Gods children and
the Devils children anyone who does not do what
is right or does not love his brother is not
Gods child.
