Practice Righteousness

A red and brown brick wall painted white with areas of the original colors peeking out. The Bible verse written on it is, "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."
1 John 3:8 ESV reminding believers to practice righteousness

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 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.

1 John 3:4-10 ESV

Pray

Join me in praying that all of God’s children practice righteousness. Let’s pray that non-believers can see a difference between the Church and the rest of the world. Let us also pray that when they see that difference that they respond by seeking the living God. Pray that we are emboldened to share our testimonies with everyone we meet.
