TEXT: I JOHN 3:1-10

The greatest thing that could happen to anyone in life is to have the power of sin broken.
Sin enslaves, subjugates, and ultimately sends the sinner to a Christless eternity in hell fire. He

But when a person becomes a new creature through repentance from sin and faith in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away and behold, all things are become new. (II Corinthians 5:17).

Apostle John found the experience of salvation an extraordinary privilege. He says, “ Behold, what manner of love the Father had bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…” ( I John 3:1).

For a sinner to answer to be a son or daughter of God, or a saint, or child of God, shows His special love.

The experience of sonship brings the following special privileges:

• Power Over Sin.

A distinguishing mark of a child of God is the grace to overcome sin by all it’s visible and deceptive appearances. “ Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him” (I John 3:6)

• Another mark of the new life is love.

God’s love is shed abroad in the believer’s heart by the Holy Ghost at the point of salvation. There is a thirst and hunger for fellowship with God because of this love.

• There is a commitment to a life of righteousness (I John 3:7,9,10).

Moreover, those truly born of God seek the things of the Spirit. Their affection is “centred “ on things above not on things on the earth”. (Colossians 3:2), Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 2:8-10

They do not neglect prayer and daily reading of the Bible or allow anything to hinder them from regular fellowship with the people of God.

Unlike saints of God, an unconverted person commits to a life devoted to sinful acts of lying, cheating, fraud, deception, immorality, fornication, adultery, sexual perversion, and the like.

By nature, they are servants of the devil. “ He that committeth sin is of the devil...”

Unless there is a miracle of conversion and salvation through Christ, such a person continues to be a servant of sin and of the devil.

Christ makes the difference between a sinner and a saint. He saves and transforms repentant sinners, sanctify thirsty believers and fills them with His Spirit.

You too can experience Christ’s transforming touch today.

• Study the following passages to know the Characteristics of a new life in Christ:

Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Lord Jesus, I come before you as a wretched sinner. I confess all my sins to you today (Mention the sins you have committed one by one).

Have nercy upon my life and forgive me all my sins. Wash away my sins with your precious blood you shed for me on the cross of Calvary.

I confess you as my personal Lord and Saviour and I believe in my heart that you died for my sins and was raised from the dead for my redemption.

I thank you Lord for answering my Prayer. In Jesus Mighty name I pray.
