1 JOHN #80 - Seven Points of Testing: 1. The Old Sin Nature Test (2-4-26)

-----Complete notes can be downloaded from our website - www.countrybiblechurch.us -----You may contact us at cbcbrenham@gmail.com 1 John 3:6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Extended verse: 1 John 3:6 “When anyone resides in it (the divine dynasphere) he is not sinning: when anyone sins (residence in the cosmic system) he has not seen him nor come to know him (occupation with Christ).” Seven Points of Testing All of these tests have to be passed before we can attain spiritual maturity. In fact, each test is designed to be a system of acceleration of our momentum. 1. The Old Sin Nature Test. a) The OSN is Satan’s inside agent for producing temptation in the areas of sins of cognizance, sins of ignorance, and human good and evil. The only issue, however, is in the area of sin. The OSN is not the source of sin, it is only the source of temptation. Your volition then becomes involved. Temptation is solicitation to the individual’s volition. b) The OSN resides in the cell structure of the body from which base it is the author or originator of temptation. c) The volition or free will of man resides in the human soul and guards the soul from temptation—which means no human being ever sins apart from his own free will or human consent. d) The OSN is the origin of temptation; human volition is the origin of sin, whether the Son is known or unknown. e) Since sin originates from the volition, man is responsible for both sins of cognizance as well as sins of ignorance. 1) For temptation to become a sin it must penetrate the soul, which emphasizes the responsibility of human volition; No one ever sins apart from human consent, and only when volition passes the temptation into the soul does the OSN gain control of the soul and the individual simultaneously enters the Cosmic System. 2) Human volition is the source of sin. Therefore, no one ever becomes involved in the Cosmic Dynaspheres apart from his own free will decision. 3) Therefore, no one ever becomes involved in the Cosmic System apart from the function of his own free will. Therefore the believer must assume responsibility for his own decisions, including sin as well as recovery from sin in the Cosmic System through Rebound. 4) Only the volition or the guardian of the soul can protect the soul from temptation, and only volition as the guardian of the soul can recover from sin and re-enter the Divine Dynasphere through the grace function of the Rebound technique. 5) Once the believer resides in the Cosmic System he can be very moral, very religious, but morality without the integrity of the Divine Dynasphere is legalism and arrogant self-righteousness. (Morality only has integrity inside the Divine Dynasphere).
