KEY VERSE

Proverbs 26:11

Like a dog that returns to its vomit,

Is a fool who repeats his folly.

OUTLINE

I. As mature believers, today, if we wanted to define why we worship God, we would say that we worship Him because worship is due to Him and because it satisfies humanity’s need for a sense of purpose in life.

(Exodus 34:12-14; Colossians 1:16–17)

II. The mature believer follows the way of the LORD, and if he or she deviates from that path, they do not do it over and over again. (Proverbs 26:11; Proverbs 3:5–6; John 14:6–7)

III. The mature believer understands that although sin is inevitable, we are not meant to continue sinning because we walk in a NEW LIFE. (Romans 5:20–6:4)

What is the point of being a Christian if we are going to do the same things over and over again as we did before we were believers? We walk in a NEW LIFE as believers, a life of grace, mercy, and forgiveness. However, we must strive to worship the Triune God by following His ways and desires. Even with mature believers, sin is inevitable, but once we have sinned, we do not have to keep sinning. Instead, we can choose to follow Jesus on the path of righteousness.
