PURE, RIGHTEOUS, OR A SINNER

PURE, RIGHTEOUS, OR A SINNER

1 John 3:1-3,5-7 

BEHOLD, WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THE FATHER HATH BESTOWED UPON US, THAT WE SHOULD BE CALLED THE SONS OF GOD: THEREFORE THE WORLD KNOWETH US NOT, BECAUSE IT KNEW HIM NOT. BELOVED, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: BUT WE KNOW THAT, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE.

AND YE KNOW THAT HE WAS MANIFESTED TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS; AND IN HIM IS NO SIN. WHOSOEVER ABIDETH IN HIM SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH HATH NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM. LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.

I left out verse 4 because I wanted you to see the meaning of two of these Holy Words, PURE AND RIGHTEOUS. People can get bogged down by The Scriptures on The Law, so I will add verse 4 below. 

He purifies himself, even as He Is PURE. HOW DOES A CHRISTIAN PURIFY HIMSELF EVEN AS CHRIST IS PURE? The Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us that We Should Be Called The Sons Of God is one part, and the other is, It doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When HE Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like HIM; for we shall see HIM as HE is. EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE.

How do we become Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous?

Are you Saved? When we become Saved, The Holy Spirit lives inside of us. The Holy Spirit takes up residence inside,  which means He Abides in us, and we abide in Christ Jesus. If you are Saved, then you abide in Christ, and He Is In You. Our Hope in Christ Jesus taking away our sins is how we know we are Children Of God. Jesus Christ, The Son Of God, Holy, Righteous, Pure, and Perfect, was manifested to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. Whosoever abides in him sins not. So I ask, are you Saved? 

1 John 4:13 

HEREBY KNOW WE THAT WE DWELL IN HIM, AND HE IN US, BECAUSE HE HATH GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT.

ROMANS 8:9 

BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

Now, Are you Saved? Are you Pure? Are you Righteous? 

Now I Have To Ask, does The Bible Teach you that you are

PURE, RIGHTEOUS, OR A SINNER? 

1 John 3:9 

WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

1 Peter 1:23 

BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER.

1 John 3:4 

WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN TRANSGRESSETH ALSO THE LAW: FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.

ROMANS 6:14-18 

FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE. WHAT THEN? SHALL WE SIN, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID. KNOW YE NOT, THAT TO WHOM YE YIELD YOURSELVES SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE TO WHOM YE OBEY; WHETHER OF SIN UNTO DEATH, OR OF OBEDIENCE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS? BUT GOD BE THANKED, THAT YE WERE THE SERVANTS OF SIN, BUT YE HAVE OBEYED FROM THE HEART THAT FORM OF DOCTRINE WHICH WAS DELIVERED YOU. BEING THEN MADE FREE FROM SIN, YE BECAME THE SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
