Christians Don’t Sin

Do Christians have sin, or do they not? 1 John 1:8-9 teaches that a Christian must admit he has sin, or else be condemned for not having “the truth” (1:8) and making God “a liar” (1:10) Yet 1 John 3:6b seems to teach that if one does sin at all, he does not know Christ!

Enslaved to Sin

Sin deceives us. Sin enslaves us. Sin isolates us. Sin torments us. Sin destroys us.

Born to Die

When Christ came into the world He says, "I did not come to make sacrifices for sin. I came to take on a body, to do God's will. I came to be the sacrifice." Jesus came to be the sacrifice for sin. The once-for-all sacrifice, the sacrifice that all of the animal sacrifices pointed to. Why did He come into the world? Why did He take on a human body? Why do we celebrate Christmas? Because Jesus came to die as the sacrifice for sin.

Ephesians 2:2b-3a — The Spirit of Disobedience

This time, we're going to learn a little bit more about Satan. There are five basic questions and five basic answers:

What is the spirit? Satan, the enemy of God.
What does God think of Satan? He will crush Him.
How does Satan work? By inciting disobedience.
What do the lusts of disobedience look like? Rebellion against God
What does disobedience deserve? The wrath of God.

Ephesians 2:2a — Walking in the Ways of the Dead

Now, I want to remind you again, we learn about sin because if we fail to understand our guilt, grace means nothing to us. If we want to understand the love of God, we must understand just how much we don't deserve it. The glorious truths of grace are coming (verse 4!), but we must first see our plight.

Ephesians 2:1 — Dead in Our Sin

This blog series will be the fuller versions of the lessons I give there, yet I do want to maintain the simplicity of the lessons, so I won't endeavor to expand them too much. If you do happen to read, please pray for the students; high schoolers are in dire need of the gospel. This is the first full lesson of the year, in which I endeavor to explain a full understanding of hamartiology and total depravity (point one of five-point Calvinism) — in twenty minutes. Difficult? No. Impossible. But, the Lord is good, and by His grace, I think I helped more than I confused.
