Hi,We do not sin til the day we die, 1John3:4-10, Every one who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is NO sin. NO ONE who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or know Him. Little children, let NO ONE DECEIVE YOU. He who does right is righteous, as He is Righteous. He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. THE REASON THE SON OF GOD APPEARED WAS TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. NO ONE BORN OF GOD COMMITS SIN; for GOD"S NATURE ABIDES IN HIM, and he cannot sin because he is BORN OF GOD. By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are of the devil: whoever does not do right is NOT OF GOD, nor he who does not love his brother.
Once you are born again, and I am not speaking of the denomination but the true meaning- you can not sin for you are born of God. God Bless!
First "Born Again" is not a denomination, as you well know.
Second, 1 John speaks to this. John is repeating what he learned from Jesus many years before. He's doing his best to explain a couple of ideas and sometimes they get a bit mixed up. Not that John is mixed up...WE are.
What does 1 John 1:9-10 mean?
In verse 9 he says that if we confess our sins, which means we sin, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive our sins.
In verse 10 he says that if we say we have not sinned, we make Jesus to be a liar and His word is not in us.
So which is it?
In verse 8 John says that if we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Apparently you're not very sensitive to sin or you'd understand that you sin every day.
Why do you need to feel that you don't sin?
So you never lie?
You never get mad at anyone.
You never have a bad thought.
You don't dislike anyone.
You never think badly of your mother or father or family member.
You never arrive late at an appointment and steal the person's time.
You've never missed ONE service.
You've never thought the word "GOD"! Even when sick.
You've never had a sensual thought.
You've never wished you could have a brand new wallet.
You see ETW, the CLOSER you get too God, the MORE you feel like a sinner. Because God's light is so bright, you see everly little bit of sinful dust on yourself.
The farther you are from God, the more you DON'T see yourself as a sinner because you're not in His light.
