The Only Begotten Son Of God.

I John 3:1-3 KJV

1 Behold, what manner of love The Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.

As we submit to The Spirit Of God, Confessing, and forsaking sin, we are the Children of God.

12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.

13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of The Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.

14 For all who are led by The Spirit of God are children of God.

As we are faithful in confessing and turning from our sins and following The Lord Jesus, something wonderful is happening, The Holy Spirit, is changing us into the very image of The Lord Jesus.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of The Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by The Spirit Of The Lord.

Ephesians 1:7 KJV

In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;

Ephesians 4:21-32 NLT

21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned The Truth that comes from Him,

22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.

23 Instead, let The Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

25 So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors The Truth, for we are all parts of the same body.

26 And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,

27 for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

28 If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.

29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

30 And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, He has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.

32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Philippians 3:12-16 NLT (The Apostle Paul - Pressing toward the Goal)

12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.

13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,

14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

15 Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you.

16 But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.

Colossians 3:10 NLT

Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him.

Hebrews 10:12 KJV

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

I John 1:7-10 KJV

7 But if we walk in The Light, as He is in The Light, we have fellowship one with another, and

The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and The Truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

Yes, the moment we gave our lives to The Lord Jesus Christ, The Savior, forgave all our sins, past, present, and future!

But that is not to say as we live out our lives we are not to confess and to forsake our sins, because our Lord, told us too!

Proverbs 28:13 KJV

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

And as we do, we will show that The Blessed Spirit Of Grace, is working in our life, changing us into the very image of Christ.

1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children.
