Disciples

One of the reasons that I started disciples nook was to help us all grow in the knowledge of God. And to share everyday life and how God works within my life.

Today I was reading my daily devotions in I John 3 and in verse 1 and 2 of that chapter says, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." (KJV)

How exciting for those who are Christians. And the way that we know if we are a Christian for sure is by the following verses, again found in I John 3. Verses 23-24, "And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment, and he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (KJV)

Also we should not continue in sin. That is to keep doing the same sin over and over again and not confessing it to the Lord. We are to life our lives as pure as we can. If we do sin then we confess that sin to God and we are cleansed from it by the blood of Jesus Christ. Then we continue on in keeping our lives as clean and pure as we can.

It sounds hard, it is hard, but it is worth it to live for Jesus and like Jesus.
