1 John 3:9
"No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them;
they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God." 1 John 3:9
Now… How does God make sure that a believer will not be able to continue to sin?
"If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray
and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.
There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that." 1 John 5:16
Some jerks, after reading 1 John 5:16, become delusional, and think they can not sin anymore. Which is sin to think such a way!
One way or another, believers will not be able to continue to sin - if that was what they were wishing to do.
"There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that."
God makes sure they can not continue in sin, the hard way!
The easy way would be, 1 John 1:9.
In Christ .......
Thank you Genez, for your posts, as we each are growing up from day one when we each decided to believe God in risen Son for us, that begins with being reconciled 2 Cor 5:17-20
Sin unto death is unbelief in risen Son, making the conscious decision not to believe God in this done work, at least for me.
Anything anyone considers sin, is sin to them Romans 14:23, there is only one sin left, that is unbelief to God in risen Son Jesus for them. Unbelief is not a sin until one decides to not believe God consciously, ultimately that is between God and that person only.
That is the last call, John 1:29, behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world
He went willingly to that cross for us all the people there then, prior to Jesus and after Jesus
It is done John 19:30. he said in Matt 5:17 hew came here to fulfill, not destroy the Law and Prophets, to fulfill
He did it as said in John 19:30
Romans 14:23
Whoever doubts, leaves themselves unsaved, by doubt(s), even though by God in risen Son has saved them since one, anyone believes God. If doubt, one does not get established, being in doubt.
God took it all for us the people on that cross, that is finished John 19:30 for us to believe it John 1:29 and ask Father for the new life offered in the risen Son Jesus, John 10:10 last part. Those that believe will not take advantage of this gift and spend it on their own pleasures
Believe, receive and see differently, than did in first birth, now in second birth
I need God, who says God's grace is sufficient for us the people in 2 Cor 12:7-10
I have found out, by trying not to sin or just having a sin conscious, keeps me in sin, learning the difference of under Law and upholding Law. The Law of have to, better or else attitudes, or the Law of Liberty. Romans 7:10
Where one that gets the Law of Liberty will see certain things not good for them, and will quit them willingly between God and them, being friends, not a tyrant as religion produces in people as if God is a tyrant, not true
God loves us all 1 John 2:1-12, always has from day one in the first Adam. God did not kill Adam or Eve. the eating they did in unbelief they did die eventually as everyone else has since. As all flesh dies, might as well reckon self dead right now to the first birth of flesh and blood Romans 6:12, trust God to take over and do new through us in love and mercy to all
God did not come here to save flesh, rather our Souls, time to stand in belief to the finished work of God, done by Son for us all, to be given new life in the risen Christ, in God's Spirit and Truth John 4:23-24, for me this be what I see and God knows whom is who and what is what, thank you again friend in the risen Son unto God Father of his done work for us to be in by continued belief to his love and mercy given us to stand in, at least me
