Remember Who You Are and Whose You Are
In our passage today, John shows his readers that a child of God is to live a godly life. Sin is not to be a part of a member of the family of God. So, John notes why sin is incompatible for a member of the family of God.

Give Online to Our Church!
We believe giving is at the heart of the message of the Gospel. John 3:16 says, "God loved the world so much that He gave..." Money can be a sensitive issue in the context of church, but it is also one of the best determining factors on the disposition of our hearts, according to Jesus (Matthew 6:19).
