“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the LORD honorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly; 14 then you shall take delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
Isaiah 58:13-14 ESV

"DIVINITY, DEITY AND HUMANITY OF CHIRST" Heb 2:10-13 "Christ is not just the author of our salvation and the justifier of sinners, He is also the sanctifier of justified sinners." "Sanctification is a process wherein we are coworkers of God but His divine help does not annul our responsibility" "A believer's holiness is in accordance to our obedience and submission to God's will."
"CHRISTIANS ARE BORN OF GOD" Text: 1 John 3:9 Message: Since Christians are born of God, they should sin no more I. A True Christian is Potentially sinless II. A True Christian is Divinely Regenerated Application: - In our daily mortification, let us aim to please the Father. - Let us not forget the Author of our spiritual life. Nothing less than the power of God in causing us to be born again makes the Christian life a life that lives against sin.
The Christians must be convinced that sinning is none of our business.
