    About this ebook

    In his first letter Peter declares that Jesus bore our sins in his body so that we may cease from sin and live for righteousness. He followed that by saying that some people had ceased from sin.

    He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. (1 Peter 2:24)

    Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for corrupt human desires but for the will of God. (1 Peter 4:1-2)

    Peter says that there were people who had ceased from sin. Moreover, he tells how they became people who had ceased from sin: they suffered in the flesh. He also gives us a glimpse into how such people lived: no longer controlled by corrupt desires, but by God's will.

    The real possibility of ceasing from sin should be of great interest to those who

    love Jesus (John 14:15, 21, 23, 24)

    seek to be controlled by God's will (1 Peter 4:1-2)

    seek to live for righteousness (1 Peter 2:24)

    seek to be free from sin

    seek the spiritual growth and fruitfulness that comes with being free from sin

    seek eternal life (Matthew 5:29-30, 18:8-9, Mark 9:44-47)

    seek fellowship and union with God (John 14:15, 21, 23)

    Satan is interested in keeping people from ceasing from sin. He is seeking to rob Jesus and us of the results of his sacrifice through one of the greatest deceptions in history: causing people to believe that it is impossible to cease from sin.

      Ceased From Sin - Al Danks

      Introduction

      In his first letter Peter declares that Jesus bore our sins in his body so that we may cease from sin and live for righteousness. He followed that by saying that some people had ceased from sin.

      He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. (1 Peter 2:24)

      Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for corrupt human desires but for the will of God. (1 Peter 4:1-2)

      Peter says that there were people who had ceased from sin. Moreover, he tells how they became people who had ceased from sin: they suffered in the flesh. He also gives us a glimpse into how such people lived: no longer controlled by corrupt desires, but by God's will.

      The real possibility of ceasing from sin should be of great interest to those who

      love Jesus (John 14:15, 21, 23, 24)

      seek to be controlled by God's will (1 Peter 4:1-2)

      seek to live for righteousness (1 Peter 2:24)

      seek to be free from sin

      seek the spiritual growth and fruitfulness that comes with being free from sin

      seek eternal life (Matthew 5:29-30, 18:8-9, Mark 9:44-47)

      seek fellowship and union with God (John 14:15, 21, 23)

      Satan is interested in keeping people from ceasing from sin. He is seeking to rob Jesus and us of the results of his sacrifice through one of the greatest deceptions in history: causing people to believe that it is impossible to cease from sin.

      To overcome Satan's deception we need some help: God's armor and his Spirit of Truth.

      God has made his armor available to us so that we may be equipped with the power we need to overcome Satan and his deception.

      Be furnished with the capacity for strength through your union with the Lord and the fullness of his immeasurable strength. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, having shod your feet with the sure footing of the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, (Ephesians 6:10-18)

      So, following God's instructions, given through Paul, we put on God's armor.

      Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus for your armor and we put on your armor: truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the sword of your Spirit.

      God has also sent the Spirit of Truth to guide us into all the truth: to guide us into the truth of how to cease from sin.

      When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, (John 16:13)

      If we ask God, he will send the Spirit of Truth to guide us into all the truth.

      Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus that you send forth your Spirit of Truth to guide us into all the truth. We ask that you send your Spirit of Truth to guide us into all the truth and show us things to come. Fill us with the knowledge of your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so we live a life worthy of you, fully pleasing to you, and bearing fruit in every good work.

      Father, we pray that you send your Spirit of
