There is no state of perfect, sinless perfection in this life. That state does exist, and it is the state of the Christian in the life to come. Christians experience progressive, gradual, visible, tangible improvement in righteousness. They are no longer defined by sin. They have victory over sin, and Satan does not own them.

00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. There is no state of perfect,
00:00:30.960 sinless perfection in this life. That state does exist, and it is the state of the Christian in
00:00:37.840 the life to come. When we see him, we will be like him, for we shall see him as he is. In what regard, 0.82
00:00:44.580 how is he? Sinless, righteous. And the very presence, not only power and penalty, but even
00:00:51.560 the presence of sin on that day will be no more. So what John is saying is simple. He's not saying
00:00:58.260 you're gonna, if you're a Christian, you'll never sin again. But what he is saying is that Christians
00:01:02.620 should not be defined by sin. Christians experience real, progressive, gradual, visible, tangible
00:01:12.980 improvement in righteousness in this life. And if there's nothing, if there's no fruit to speak
00:01:21.520 up. I've been a Christian for 40 years, and in every single category that I can think of, I've
00:01:26.380 gotten worse. Well, you're going to hell. You're not a Christian. I mean, it's really simple, 0.99
00:01:33.680 right? This is an apple tree, and every year for 20 years now, in season, it produces pears. How
00:01:39.700 many apples? Zero. Lots of pears. Great pears. It's my favorite apple tree. Well, I think it's a pear
00:01:47.620 tree. So that's what John's saying. Not sinless perfection in this life, but progressive victory
00:01:55.640 over sin. You are not a slave to sin and you're not a slave to Satan. Because notice the second
00:02:01.360 half of verse 18, he doesn't just say that no, everyone who has been born of God does not keep
00:02:06.400 on sinning. But then he goes on and says that God protects him and the evil one does not touch him.
00:02:12.280 Now that's the big theme in the text that we're going to see multiple times as we move on to the
00:02:16.660 other verses. Christians, not only are they free from slavery to sin, but they're also free from
00:02:22.460 slavery to Satan. And what we'll see is there's one primary tool that Satan uses for the unbeliever.
00:02:30.840 But for the Christian, this tool, this weapon has been stripped, neutralized, disarmed. And we'll
00:02:37.520 look into that a little bit more in a moment. Let's look at verse 19 now. We know that non-Christians,
00:02:42.800 So we're comparing and contrasting.
00:02:44.280 So Christians, they're no longer defined by sin.
00:02:46.880 They have victory over sin.
00:02:48.760 They're being sanctified.
00:02:50.280 And the devil may tempt them, but he does not own them.
00:03:12.800 We'll be right back.
