Grace for your spirit November 17, 2010

Grace for your spirit
For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous. I Jn 3:11-12

Why did Cain kill his brother? Why couldn't he master the sin that was crouching at his door? Now in First John, God explains it to us. Cain did not love his brother. Cain was of the evil one, the devil, and that made his deeds evil rather than righteous. We may think we aren't capable of doing anything like Cain did, but watch out. When the devil gets hold of us, we can lose our love, and evil can take over our lives. Guard against any such takeover by staying close to the Lord.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
