2 John 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. The doctrine of Christ is the teaching or saying of Christ, or we can say the knowledge He is.
John 14:23-24
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
Now let us look at one of Christ doctrine He said Jn 14:15 If ye love me keep my commandments- 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also (Gk- certainly) the law. for sin is the transgression of the law. compare with. James 2:9 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point , he is guilty of all. Therefore there is no partial obedience and obedience to God is sinfreeness according to the above text quoted. This is further ratified by the following text .Ps 119:1-11
9 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. (walking implies continuation)
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.(whole heart-ness is obedience)
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. THIS IS TELLING US THAT THOSE WHO WALK IN THE LAW OF GOD DOES NO INIQUITY, THEY ARE UNDEFILED IN THE WAY IN WHICH THEY WALK, THUS THEY ARE SINFREE.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.THIS IS TELLING US THAT WITH THE WORD OF GOD HIS IN OUR HEARTHS WE WILL NOT SIN AGAINST GOD. THE SCRIPTURES SAY "NOT TO SIN AGAINST THEE (GOD),THIS MEANS THAT THE PERSON IS NOT SINNING THUS HE IS SINFREE. Psalm 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.TELLS US THAT WE CAN KEEP THE LAW OF GOD CONTINUALLY, MINUTE BY MINUTE, THEN IT FOLLOWS, THAT WE CAN INDEED BE SINFREE FOR DAYS, MONTH, AND YEARS WITHOUT A BREAK. Sinfreeness is a gift of God, it is only God that can make us sinfree and keep us sinfree this is done by Justification, which I will go into more in further post. But is am asking of you to visit my Status for much on this topic have been touched including radio and TV programs on justification, May God blessed the hearts of the sincere reader with the experience of sinfreeness.
