Cleansed from Past Sins in Baptism And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Acts 22:16 To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, Rev 1:5b

Problem with sin is not over… If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us…10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 1Jo 1:8-10 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1Pe 5:8

Two ways we must overcome sin By sinning less and less By knowing what to do when we do sin My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. 1Jo 2:1a And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1Jo 2:1b-2

How Sin Develops – James Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full- grown, brings forth death.

How Sin Develops – James FIRST STAGE IS “TEMPTATION” Includes two things: Desire (lust) Enticement TEMPTATION = DESIRE + OPPORTUNITY 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Jam 1:14
