*EVIDENCE OF TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD*


 *By Pastor E O Gabriel 01 January 2025:Share*


SCRIPTURE: Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother - *I John 3:9‭-‬10*


*Love for righteousness is an evidence that a man has a right relationship with God.* 


*This makes sinning very repugnant to a redeemed man, because the seed of God is in him .He who sins is of the devil* - *1 John 3:8*


Joseph told Potiphar's wife when he was enticed with sin, that he cannot do such great wickedness and sin against God - *Genesis 39:9*


This was a reflection of Joseph's Posture of heart and reverence for God. 


*Hatred for sin is inherent in those who have relationship with God because of the seed of God.*


*Those who have a relationship with God, have the Spirit of God which empowers us to love unconditionally.* 


God is love therefore, anyone who does not love, does not have a relationship with Him - *1 John 4:8*


Love is not self seeking but seeks the Good of others. 


Jesus loves and He went about doing Good - *Acts 10:38* 


He also said by this shall all men know ye are my Disciples if ye have love one  another - *John 13:35*


*Brotherly love is evidence of true relationship with God.*


*Those who are born of God seek the Good of others, this compels them to Evangelise  the unsaved and be an encouragement to  the saved.*


*Relationship with God makes a man a source of great encouragement to anyone who comes in contact with Him.*


*Prayer:* 

Father, Please let Your seed help me to hate sin and love unconditionally In Jesus Christ Name.

And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
