Week 32: Saturday Discipleship

  • 1 John 3:7-10

    Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

  • Psalm 51:1-6

    Have mercy on me, O God,
        according to your steadfast love;
    according to your abundant mercy
        blot out my transgressions.
    Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
        and cleanse me from my sin!

    For I know my transgressions,
        and my sin is ever before me.
    Against you, you only, have I sinned
        and done what is evil in your sight,
    so that you may be justified in your words
        and blameless in your judgment.
    Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
        and in sin did my mother conceive me.
    Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
        and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

  • Question: How can believers live with no condemnation and truly fulfill God’s holy law?

    Answer: Because Jesus bore our condemnation at the cross, we now bear none. The Holy Spirit indwells us, empowering real trust from the inside out—no longer slaves to sin, but joyful servants of God.

  • Romans 8:1 (ESV)
    “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
