Christ has given the assurance ..in him I am free from sin
Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me
free from the law of
sin and death.
again Christ gives the assurance if we abide in him we will not sin and he encourages us not to sin...and if we sin we have an advocate....but I do love the fact that he also will not allow me to be above that which I am able...so really I have no excuse to be carrying around sin...
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Is anyone sinless? then everyone disobeys him.
scripture says God is able to make us that way.....
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Oh Wait, I know.. Those who are adopted as his sons obey him, (not perfectly) and are the ones he is talking about (the first obeyed him by receiving the gospel and not rejecting it)
Those who are not saved, can't obey him, not today, not ever. One must be born again to be able to obey him. Otherwise the things of God are foolishness to those who are not his.
why can they not obey him...you first obeyed him by receiving the gospel .....why can't they do the same???
You still have not answered how someone can have faith in someone, and NEVER OBEY or DO a thing the person he has faith in SAID!
it is called faith without works....look it up in James....
