Scripture Reading 1 John 2:29-3:10
Opening Prayer
Introduction
Review (2:29-3:1)
I. God’s children can be identified by righteousness (2:29-3:1)
II.
You really have hope for life (2-3)
Exposition 1 (4-6)
What does it mean that “sin is lawlessness?”
(4)
It is a definition
It is a denial of God’s standards.
If you truly understood the severity of sin, you would never choose to sin.
Yet we all have denied God’s law and been lawless.
Therefore, Because we were lawless, and God desired for himself a people to love and have relationship with, He determined to redeem for Himself a people.
This has always been His plan
Verse 5 emphasizes this Gospel
It begins by reminding the readers of something that they know
“you know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.”
Gospel...
It hinges on sinlessness (the sinlessness of Christ)
Verse 6 then goes on to talk to us about abiding in Christ
Christians abide in Christ
What does abide mean?
To “live in”
Read v. 6
To say it positively, people who are truly saved don’t give in to sin
I. Sin is truly against God and is not to characterize a believer (4-6)
Clarify, not sinless but also not given in to sin
If you are a Christian, your life should have, as a major component, a method to accomplish this
How?
At the least, be at church.
Talk about the fellowship, bearing burdens, building one another up, rebuking eachother
Read the word like a glass (mirror)
Pray
Ask for help (prayer/accountability)
Exposition 2 (7-10) [4th point]
Don’t Be Deceived (7)
How you live reveals who you are (8-9)
Of the devil or
Of God
Sin reveals lostness
II.
Who are you born of?
(7-10)
