How Well Do You Know Your Savior?

 

Today's verse is 1 John 3:6

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 

    Just about whenever I read this I come under conviction: This is Good, we need to. For in this verse, we have the sense we must strive to improve as Paul told the Hebrews to labour therefore to enter into that rest, (One that resteth has ceased from his own works) Now, let us understand what John is teaching us. Just a few verses up, he tells us that when Jesus comes, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And Paul had told the Corinthians, For we see through a glass, darkly. And again, he told the Romans, For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Therefore, as we know Jesus Christ not, so we find we stubble and sin. But we are commanded to abide in him, and our hope is in him, and any time we sin, we are expressing our unbelief. Therefore, we must confess our sins, for he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And as he is our Advocate, we must continue to seek to know him, and purify ourselves even as he is pure. Amen.

To God be the Glory
