We all face a test in one form or another. Our walk with the Lord might just determine the severity of that test.
 
The Sin Test:
1 John 3:4-7 (6)
  • Committing a sin and remaining in sin are two separate issues.
  • Some believe that committing a sin is the only way to sin.
  • James 4:17 – therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin
  • Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, which He did
  • Only way to remove it is through Christ
  • The world is still under sin
  • Believers should feel the Spirit convict us of any sin in our lives, then we should ask for forgiveness of that sin, and turn away from it
  • We are not perfect, we may sin daily, so we should strive not to sin and seek forgiveness daily
  • 1 John 3:9 – whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin…
  • James 4:8 – draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you
  • Unbelievers sin against the law, against the Creator,
  • Christians sin against the Father
 
The Saint’s Tests:
1 John 3:11-14 (14)
  • Where is our proof that we are saints? Are we counterfeit?
  • Saints love one another
  • Do we love other believers despite the differences in our lives?
  • Actions speak louder than words, not only profess it, but portray it
  • We should not have to be reminded to Love One Another
  • Cain must not have loved his brother
  • Abel’s offering was acceptable, which showed Cain’s moral imperfection and irritated him
  • Do we irritate unbelievers as we start talking about God, and they walk away?
  • The light within us shines upon the darkness, which shows sinners they need Jesus
  • Do you know that you know that you know that you know?
  • John 5:24 – he that believeth, hath everlasting life, is passed from death unto life (paraphrased)
  • John 17:14 – given them thy word, world hateth them, because they are not of the world (paraphrased)
  • Love in our deeds and in truth, not just words
 
Put to the Test:
1 John 4:1-3 (1)
  • Believe not everything we hear
  • False teachers speak so as not to offend carnal man
  • James 4:3 – they will not endure sound doctrine, after own lusts, heap teachers having itching ears (hearing only what they want to hear)
  • Check the words people speak with what God says in the Bible
  • Check commitment to body of believers – 1 John 2:19
  • Check their life-style – 1 John 3:23-24
  • Check their fruit – 1 John 4:6
  • What do they believe about Christ? He is God and Man.
  • Have faith, but do not be gullible
  • Verify the message with Jesus’s teachings
