TODAY'S WORD
1John 3:7-8 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
We do not earn salvation by our obedience; for salvation is the free gift of God, to be received by faith. But obedience is the fruit of faith. "Ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him." 1 John 3:5, 6. Here is the true test. If we abide in Christ, if the love of God dwells in us, our feelings, our thoughts, our purposes, our actions, will be in harmony with the will of God as expressed in the precepts of His holy law.
Don't you know that you are slaves of whom you obey. If we are to yield of the devils. To act in contrary with the will of God, we are yielding to the influence of the evil one. We are to learn to subdue our minds and body. To keep then incorruptible. We can be righteous as He is righteous. For this purpose Christ was made manifest, that humans can be made righteous again.
If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land.
