  • Harold on 1 John 3:9 - 10 years ago
    In reading 1John 3:9 we need to define "sin".
    Sin is NOT referring to our physical failings.
    Instead, it's transgression of the law, 1John 3:4.

    But we're NOT under the law, Rom 8:2, Rom 10:4, Gal 5:18. Hence believers CANNOT be charged with this sin.

    Sin is unrighteousness, 1John 5:17.
    But a believer's faith is counted for righteousness, Rom 4:5. Hence we CANNOT be charged with this sin.

    Sin is unbelief in Jesus, John 16:9.
    Believers CANNOT be charged with this sin.

    So, as believers, we CANNOT sin.
