How did John connect it? “If we claim to be without sin….” A claim of Gnosticism! WRITTEN TO FIGHT IT! “No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning…” The lifestyle of Gnosticism. WRITTEN TO FIGHT IT!
Don’t get caught up in it!We need the same message!CONNECTION!
1 John 3 1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not from thy presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.
