We Abide In Christ, Where There Is No Sin

"And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him." 1 John 3:5-6

We now abide in Jesus and since we do, we sin not! The great peace here is that once we truly are called and chosen to accept Jesus as Lord, there is no way that we can ever leave Him!

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

“It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with Him, we also live with Him:” 2 Timothy 2:11

“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6

“I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

“God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6:1

Because we are chosen by God and born again from His Incorruptible Seed, and because we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to truly make Jesus the Lord of our lives, there will never be any separation between God and us again. He will never leave us or forsake us! So there is now no occasion for us to stumble into unrighteousness. Every law that was in place to convict us has been removed, and through the power of Jesus’ Blood sin has been done away with for us. Our Father now has the freedom to carry out His will in our lives and His will is to have unbroken fellowship with us! Now that we are free from sin, God can use us as vessels of righteousness and work through us!

Those Whom Jesus has made free, are free indeed! “And the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the Son abideth forever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:35-36 We are free, free from fear, free from sin, free from ignorance, free from guilt, free from the sting of death, and we are free to be cleansed from all unrighteousness! Now here is the Truth, a servant will leave the house, but the Son will remain in the house forever! Who are we one with now? Whose body are we now? “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in One; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23 We are now the perfect body of the Son Who remains in the house forever! And since we are, we too abide in the House forever, and whosoever abideth in the house sinneth not!
