Daily Scripture

We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.”
1 John 5:18, NIV

Daily Encouragement

We all commit sin, but the one who is born of God will ask God for forgiveness and continue to faithfully serve Him and obey Him. Being born of God means you are a new creation, following Christ and His commandments, so you have turned from your old ways. Through life in Christ, we are free from the bondage of sin and no longer live under Satan’s control. We are children of God and are not of this world. The world is under the control of the evil one. That means that people of the world live a life full of continual sin and remain there. 



Life in Christ keeps you safe from Satan, so your life should not remain in sin. It does not mean that you will never sin again or that you won’t ever be tempted again. Moreover, the enemy cannot harm you or control you, because you are not of the world, but rather, you are of God and following His path for your life. 

Daily Reflection

Is there a sin in your life that you need to ask God for forgiveness and turn away from? Through Christ’s atonement and God’s grace, you are free from your sin and there is no shame or condemnation. God keeps you safe from the enemy, but you must be obedient to God by turning away from any sin in your life. Ask God for forgiveness and to lead you to what you need to do to faithfully continue following and obeying Him. 

Daily Quote

"Through life in Christ, we are free from the bondage of sin and no longer live under Satan’s control."
