1 Jn 3: 9 ''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''. John says that the issue of character differentiates God's children from the devil (1Jn 3:10). As a natural man is born of the seed of the father (sperm) so also is the spiritual man of the seed of God (the word).
1 Peter 1:23 ''Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever''
1 Peter 1:25 ''But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you''. When the sower sows the seed of the word through the gospel, and one believes, repents and accepts Jesus as Lord, He or She becomes born of God. He gets water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism.
Questions
1. Is it possible to live a perfect (that is sinless) life here on earth?
2. He that is born of God does not commit sin (explain)
3. How does the issue of sin prove whose child one is ?
Prayer
Father I pray for the mighty release of power upon us to practice righteousness and resist sinning in Jesus name. Help us to allow your word to reign in our lives so we do not sin against you.
