ATDirect 002 Nature AND Nurture 1Jn3vs1

In the letter of 1 John, the apostle John writes of things that are true about us simply because of our new nature as Children of God. But he also writes of those same things as though they will not be so if we don't make an intentional effort. That's because who we become as God's children is intended to be a perfect combination of our new nature and intentional nurturing.
