HIGHER EVERYDAY (YOUTH DEVOTIONAL GUIDE) Friday, October 16, 2026 SIN LINKS ONE TO SATAN TEXT: 1 JOHN 3:4-10 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. KEY VERSE: “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 JOHN 3:8). Sin is defined as, “the transgression of the law.” Law includes the common rules in school and society that prevent harm to our neighbours. God gave law as a manual to mankind for navigating the often-tough world. It is meant to keep peace, purity, progress and prepare us for eternity with God. The careless association with the ungodly questions from the serpent, the mouth piece of Satan, led to the fall and the loss of the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve. Satan is the originator of sin. Hence, “He that committeth sin is of the devil.” Jesus came to this world to reconcile us to God with His blood atonement. Unfortunately, many youths continue in sin, which endangers their spiritual stability. They become weak and helplessly in bondage to Satan who is herding them to hell fire.
