The Christian Life
If we have believed the message of the gospel, then we must live a life that matches our profession of faith.
- This life is not going to be perfect this side of heaven (we must admit we are sinners).
- This life is going to be made clean by the blood of Christ.
- This life must be consistent with the character of God.
Scripture reading from 1 John 1:5-8
5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
