A thief will climb up some other way which God has not sanctified. This is why Jesus Christ called Himself the door. As ambassadors of Christ, covenant apostles direct faith into Him that they may experience the fullness of Christ and His work of regeneration within their souls. Strait is the gate (one way) and narrow (restriction of that pattern) is the way. There is always a challenge that comes with change. Will you serve God His way?
In this epistle, Apostle John is bringing out:
- Why our confidence can be placed in Christ,
- How He manifests Himself through His GTS,
- How separation is necessary from darkness to light,
- And that our stages of growth are through our overcoming.
SIN (singular) = System
SINS (plural) = Fruits
Therefore sin is the system that inspires the fruit (sins). We take on the substance (fruit) of the system we join ourselves to.
Also note that Apostle John is writing this epistle to those whom he was already stewarding. You can think of this as the Dean of Medicine at a hospital writing to all of the licensed staff members who have all received certain levels of medical training and have all proven themselves through their application with that knowledge in the field. The letter would not re-teach their intro to medicine classes but would draw upon that foundation knowledge which they all share and speak from within the framework of that common understanding. This is what we see in all of the letters of the apostles contained within the scriptures.
