1 John 3:8 For This Purpose the Son of God Was Manifested

1 John 3:8 (KJV)  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The work of Christ was clearly brought before us, His mission on earth was to destroy the devil’s work. On the cross, Christ dealt with sin by the shedding of His blood for the remission of our sins.

To sin is to do the work of the devil. The devil’s work is evil continually. We are thankful that in Jesus Christ, our sins were dealt with. And we have an advocate in Jesus Christ before the Father.

1 John 2:1 (KJV)  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 

1 John 2:2 (KJV)  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 

1 John 2:12 (KJV)  I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. 

1 John 2:5 (KJV)  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 

Therefore, let us keep His Word and perfect His praise. Amen.
