00:00:28.020 Christians will continue to wrestle with sin. Christians will continue to struggle with sin.

00:00:34.440 But Christians are no longer slaves to sin. And Christians will be tempted and prodded and poked

00:00:43.000 and bugged by the enemy. We will at times be oppressed by the enemy. There is such a thing

00:00:49.780 for the Christian as spiritual attack. But the Christian can no longer be enslaved or fully taken

00:00:57.540 captive by the enemy. So the Christian sins, but he is not a slave to sin. And the Christian is

00:01:05.860 tempted and oppressed in varying degrees at varying times in varying ways by Satan. But he is not a

00:01:12.560 child of Satan. He is not held fully captive by Satan. There is freedom from Satan and freedom

00:01:19.760 from sin. The three Ps when it comes to sin, the easiest way to remember this. Christ has fully,

00:01:28.100 fully broken or fully paid for the penalty of sin. That's done. If you are a Christian,

00:01:34.180 the penalty of sin has been fully paid for by Christ on your behalf. So the penalty of sin

00:01:39.200 is atoned for. It's done. It's paid. It's finished. The power of sin is broken. If you are a Christian

00:01:47.120 born again, you are not a slave to sin. However, in this life, not forever, but in this life,

00:01:53.420 the presence of sin remains. So for the Christian, penalty of sin, done. Power of sin, broken.

00:02:02.720 Presence of sin, ongoing in this life only. But first John also elsewhere says this, when we see

00:02:10.280 him we will be like him for we shall see him as he is what john is referring to is that final day

00:02:18.300 when this life comes to a close when we stand before christ when we see him we shall be like

00:02:25.720 him not like him in every regard he's god even in heaven for eternity we will only ever still be

00:02:32.860 creatures glorified creatures yes but creatures nonetheless we will not be like him in his um in

00:02:39.560 the fact of his omniscience and the fact that he is infinite and the fact that he is a god deity

00:02:46.440 but we will be like him in what regard what is john specifically referencing when we see him

00:02:51.260 we'll be like him meaning we will be like him in regard to his sinlessness that we will be pure

00:02:58.840 purified that the presence not only is the power of sin broken that's done even now if you're in

00:03:05.780 Christ. But on that day, when we see him, when we stand before him in the life to come, not only is

00:03:12.280 the power of sin broken, that's broken now, but the presence of sin will be done away with.

00:03:35.780 We are.
