Daily Bread – March 6, 2023 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) Ephesians 4:20 – But you have not learned this from Christ. Taught By Christ Jesus If we have been taught by Christ Jesus, instructed by the Holy Spirit, and mentored by the anointing, then we will abide in Christ Jesus, the Son (1 John 2:27). Anyone who practices sin is not right with God (Ephesians 5:3-9; 1 John 3:10). You cannot live in darkness and have a relationship with Jesus (1 John 1:6; Ephesians 5:8, 11; Colossians 1:13). Even if you are a backslider, you may have once known Him, but you walked away from the relationship and allowed sin to separate you from Christ Jesus. The contrast between redeemed saints on the one hand, and the unregenerate on the other, could not be greater. Those who have received a new nature and have not turned back to the former ways, loathe sin and its iniquity. If they were to stumble into some kind of disobedience, they would not be insensitive to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and continue to partake in its evil. Instead, they would turn back with godly sorrow and repent (2 Corinthians 7:10). Blessings Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
