Our Practice



1 John 3:9-10 (AMP)

9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, andhabitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.

10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellowbeliever in Christ).


All who are reborn of God have received the seed of His word into these mortal bodies of man. This is the flame of the Holy Spirit who works toward changing our nature to conform into the nature of Christ, who is the exact image of God in all of creation. We will still sin, but it is no longer the guiding and dominant principle of our life. We are led through the wilderness of the world, repenting when we stray from the path He has shown us as the way we should go. The light of His righteousness is the lamp unto our feet.
