The Christian's Incompatibility (8 of 14)
Series: 1 John

1 John 3:1-10
In pharmacology (study of drugs) students not only have to learn what effect a certain drug will have on the body when prescribed as part of a medical treatment they also have to learn what drugs can be taken together and which drugs cannot. They need to know which drugs are compatible and which drugs are not. When drugs that are incompatible are prescribed and taken together the effects can be devastating and even deadly because rather than working for the body and for the overall health of a person they work against it and do it great harm.

The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 By this the children of ...
