John 1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God - “ Whosoever is born of God doth not sin ”, “ whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world ”, it is apparent that following God requires virtuous living. A living style not suited with sin. People can argue all they want, but the word of God cannot be broken under any circumstance for it can not fail. Luke 16:17) And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.)) The error comes when people try to make it fail. 2 Peter 3:16) As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do with other scriptures, unto their own destruction.)) And how often do people try to diminish, add on to, or edit the word of God, changing the meaning because they can’t comprehend it. This is why many have a loose interpretation of the bible, lowing the standards and expectations that God has of us. Society has low balled the standard of clean living so much, that ignorance is death. A famine of the word in peoples lives, the pure truth, untainted by man, is the reason why so many are living in delusion, hindered, and kept from salvation.
Matthew 23:13) but woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in)) What Jesus said to them back then applies to this day and age so much. Men preach it, but don’t live it, people hear it, but don’t live it at all. Right before Judas kissed Jesus, he called him Master. Hypocritical, betraying the one you ironically call Master. Many say Christ, but how many are not betraying him like Judas when they live a hypocritical life style. The evidence is stacked in God’s word, speaking on the absence of sin from one’s life, who chooses to follow God. 1 John 3:6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.)) Whosoever transgresses has not know him, 2 John 1:9) Whosoever transgresseth, 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. There is no in-between against the sharpness of these words. People can try, but it only brings confusion to the simple truth in the Bible. Proverbs 4:27) Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.)) Complicating God’s word is why many fail, and will be deceived and deceive others. “ harden not your heart ”, listen to the simple truth in God’s word primarily and not man, nor your own judgment, it is that simple, God’s word and nothing less to be sanctified, reproved, and corrected unto the path of light to keep your soul alive in a world where morality, ethics, and the way of holiness dwindle and fade away.
