1 John 3:6-10 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 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. 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. 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.
What is Sin? James 4:17 tells us “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” 1 John 3:4 teaches, “sin is the transgression of the law.” Hebrews 10:16 says, “ I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.” Therefore, sin occurs when someone willfully disobeys that which God has shown them to do. To be tempted is not sin. James 1:14 says, “…every man is tempted,” and we can only be tempted through our minds and feelings. To have tempting thoughts come into the mind or feelings come against us are not sin, but we must deal with our temptations and not give in to sin by the grace of God.
Jesus came to give us both forgiveness and deliverance from sin!
Have you found the deliverance from sin that God has for you?
