The word sin means: “Breaking God’s law. Missing the mark”. The Apostle John told the believers that he wrote God’s instructions to them so that they would not sin. This way, they would always have the proper wisdom and instructions to know how to live pleasing to God in their daily lives. 1 John 2:1 says: “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”. Note however that he also taught that we do sin or miss the mark, our advocate, Jesus Christ would intercede for us before the Father. We have a righteous advocate that is ever interceding for us. Be comforted today and know that He is aware of the fact that you are doing your best to live righteously for His glory. Know also that provision has already been made when you sin and miss the mark. Just go before God in humility and ask for forgiveness. Your intercessor is seated on the right hand of the Father, so you are covered by His love and His blood. You don’t have to walk in guilt or condemnation. You are loved and forgiven!
you are a carrier of His Glory!
I do not know if we fully understand the anointing that God has bestowed upon those who are born again, who have trusted in Christ for their salvation. Look at what John says about those who are born again: 1 John 5:4 (AMP) “For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].” Did you see it? Whoever, is born of God is victorious and overcome the world. That means all who are born again. Are you born again? If so, you are already victorious and an overcomer. The Spirit that dwells in us will give us all the power and resources we need to overcome and be victorious. We have an overcoming faith (trust and confidence in Christ) that gives us an overcoming and conquering atmosphere and environment. Most are looking for external things to help them overcome, but they are simply not aware that we already have the overcoming Spirit within us. We CARRY victory by our faith! It’s time to stop depending on external things or people to give us victory. You are a carrier of victorious, conquering faith. Christ in you is the hope of Glory (Col. 1:27).
1 John 5:4 “For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].”
