1 John 3:7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
When we learn about Christ, we begin to learn how we have a choice between turning a new leaf and doing what is righteous, or continuing on with our sinful lives.
Jesus wants us to turn away from our sinful lives so we can be better protected by Him as we walk close to Him.
Learning about Christ give us the opportunity to obey Him and His ways instead of the ways of the world and the ways of the evil one.
