“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 NKJV
So the question is, when we sin are we going in and out of the Lord? We may be. I believe it all comes down to if we have laid down our life to Christ, and I mean all of our life.
The Holy Spirit will show us if there is anything that is not of God, and if we repent, we do not lose our place. We are hidden in Christ and seated in Heavenlies with our Lord.
Remember, Jesus was tempted, and the devil went away till a more opportune time. The enemy will not give up trying.
Lord, search us and show us if there is anything that is not of you; I pray this in Jesus’s name.
