Thoughts on Today's Verse....
John presents us with two truths — one hard and the other liberating:
The person who CONTINUES* to live a life caught up in sin has been co-opted and deceived by the devil's influence in their lives.
The Son of God came to destroy all that the devil stands for and give us back our true humanity as a person made in the image of God who lives for his purposes and future.
These two truths remind us we must intentionally choose to honor the Son by living for him. I must ask myself, "Which side do I choose with my life in this war between good and evil?" Lukewarm approaches to following Jesus simply won't cut it (Revelation 3:16). If I am not actively on the Lord's side, then by default, when I continue in sin,* I am choosing the losing side of life! The good news for committed disciples, however, is that the Son will remove the devil's work and free! us to find life forever with the Father!**
