In Him There Is No Sin

You will not deceive me,
If I do right I know I’m righteous,
Even as Jesus is righteous;
And I will not sin
For I abide in him
And in him there is no sin
(Yes, all who sin are of the devil).

He was manifest
To take away our sins
And in him there is no sin.
I’m in him and will not sin.
He’s in me and cannot sin.
For in him there is no sin.

Note: Drawn from the 1st letter of John and based on the concept of Romans 6:11
" You also, see yourselves as dead to sin but alive to God by Jesus Christ."

Have you ever noticed how many times the phrase "in Him", or, "in Christ" are used in the Epistles?
Every one of them indicates our relationship with Christ..."hid with Christ in God".

Amen to that. Its the only way to live.

If this is about not willingly sinning, then I get the poem. As when we are saved in Christ, we are seen as clean before the Father.

But if it is about not sinning ever, we wouldn't be honest with ourselves and with others. And most of all; We wouldn't be honest toward God.

We will not have any joy in sinning, when we are born again and living in and for Christ. So we will desire to keep away from this, and trusting in our Saviour's grace which is bestowed upon us.

All sin is "willing". (James 1:14-15)
Sinners are not clean before God.

But if it is about not sinning ever, we wouldn't be honest with ourselves and with others. And most of all; We wouldn't be honest toward God.

I believe verses like Romans 6:7 and 1 Peter 4:1.
Why don't you?

We will not have any joy in sinning, when we are born again and living in and for Christ. So we will desire to keep away from this, and trusting in our Saviour's grace which is bestowed upon us.

Those born of God's seed cannot bring forth the fruit of the devil.
