Jesus Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sin

"And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him." 1 John 3:5-6

Jesus has completed all of the tasks required for our perfection! Man had absolutely no ability to even keep the simplest of the laws before Christ came. Think about it, God said that man should not make any graven images, and yet, at the first sign of trouble, graven images abounded! This is a very basic and simple law to keep; yet man had absolutely no ability to keep it! God also asked man to keep just one day a week holy and that was too much to handle. Man messed the Sabbath Day up so badly, that when Jesus healed people on it, they wanted to kill Him for it! The Sabbath was made for man, not for God!

So we really can’t preach that we have any ability on our on to perform any acts that will allow our Father to move in our lives! It is only God within us, He does the works, and God can work through us because it was Jesus who paid the price, so that He can! If it where up to us to act right, and not sin, so that God could come in and accomplish something, nothing would ever be accomplished! Man cannot even keep a day! But with the power of God within us, there is nothing that we cannot do, because there is nothing that He cannot do! We don’t sin, because God’s Seed remains within us. We don’t sin, because every law that was contrary to us, was destroyed and taken out of our way! We don’t sin, because greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world! We don’t sin, because God is our Father! Man cannot have two Fathers; we can only have one. If God is our Father, than sin has no ability to be within us, because to be born of God, means the Blood of Christ has been applied to our life's, and that Blood cleanses us from all sin!
