1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The fourth P is in that we will be saved from the presence of sin. Sin is still with us until that day when we shall be transformed into the incorruptible form and be as our Savior is, eternal, Holy and incorruptible. Until that day we suffer the harassing influences of sin in the flesh. We should not deny it.

We heard about the power over sin. We covered that yesterday. Since we have to suffer sins nagging presence for the time being, what are we to do about it?

Philippians 2:12c work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

It wasn’t just enough for God to say work at it, He has blessed us with the tools to be successful in our attempts. What craftsman in training up an apprentice would not provide him the right tools to perform any given task?

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

In this endeavor we are not alone. The daily blessings bestowed upon us are meant to help us and our brethren in working out our daily salvation.

Ephesians 4:1-3 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another‘s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
