Daily Guide 27 November 2024 Scripture Union – OUTLINE
We become God’s children, when we believe in His Son Jesus Christ (John 1:12) which is by His grace alone. However, we must make a conscious effort to believe and receive this gift of grace.
Reflect on vs.1-2 and see the extent of this love which God lavished on us, by accepting us as His children. This unimaginable love shows how much value or worth He places on us. Having known this, you must not take His love for granted. What then, do you do to maintain this status (v.3)? We need to maintain purity and readiness as we expect His coming.
People sometimes ask whether a particular action is a sin or not. Read v.4 and see what sin is. As a follow up to v.4, carefully observe the truth that is being established in vs.5-6. There was no sin in Christ, rather, He came to take away sin by His sacrificial death on the cross. Those who believe are saved and have the word of God dwelling in them. They have eternal life (see also 1 Peter 1:23). Although there are situations of strong temptations and trials; it is important to know that those who are God’s children do not make a practice of sin. They have victory over sin.
Furthermore, how do we know who is a child of God and who is not (vs.7-10)? Their works /fruit are different and there is no middle ground. Holiness and love are the lifestyle of true believers in Christ.
