"Destroying the Works of the Devil" 1 John 3:8-9

The beauty of the Gospel is it not only sets us free from the penalty of sin; it allows us as those who are fully forgiven to indwelt with the very life of God. To be born of God is to have a new nature in Him so we are no longer sinners by nature nor slaves to sin. The devil is the author of sin and he tries to deceive us into living independent of God and to serve self. He chose to fall from his created purpose by asserting self, he said over and over again, "I will...." Jesus shows us the beauty of surrender to the Father in saying, "not my will yours." So, we know we are walking in the influence of the enemy when we assert ourselves and our will. We know we are walking in the Spirit when our constant heart cry is "not my will Yours!" There is no way for the true believer, indwelt by the life of God to live a lifestyle of sinning for it no longer suits us as His beloved and righteous children.
