STOP SINNING / JOHN 5:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 5:14

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

STOP SINNING / JOHN 5:14

Jesus demands that all who claim to believe in and follow Him must stop sinning. Those who are truly saved and who totally rely on Christ will stop habitual sinning – not simply of their own willpower, but in the power of God’s Spirit within them. This does not mean that if we follow Jesus we will never sin, but we will not continue down the same path of continual sin or keep defying God in the same ways over and over. True believers will commit their lives to Christ so that, through the power of the Holy Spirit, sin will no longer characterize, define or control their lives (1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 3:6 1 John 3:9). Jesus’ expectation for those who are born again (John 3:3-7) contrasts sharply with those who say that believers cannot help but sin daily in thoughts, words and actions. This verse does not suggest that when bad things happen in our lives it is necessarily a direct result of our own sin. However, it is certainly possible to bring trouble on ourselves if we defy God’s commands, principles and desires.
