the Bible says that you and I once we

0:08

trust Christ as our Savior that we are

0:10

to serve the Lord

0:11

but in serving the Lord that we find out

0:14

that we still have wrong sinful desires

0:18

well why because you know the Bible says

0:22

in 1st John chapter 3 and verse 9

0:26

whosoever is born of God does not commit

0:29

sin for his seed remaineth in him and it

0:32

cannot sin because he is born of God not

0:35

one verse has caused an awful lot of

0:38

problem with Christians because they

0:40

believe that once you trust Christ as

0:42

Savior well they tell you what you won't

0:44

sin anymore because it makes the

0:46

statement that you cannot sin well how

0:50

do you explain that so many have gone to

0:54

various translations that says well you

0:57

won't practice sin I mean you might sin

1:00

but you're not gonna practice sin well

1:02

most people I know are experts at it but

1:05

you know the Bible says what it means

1:07

and means what it says there's people

1:09

who are misunderstanding what God

1:12

actually has the same you see in the

1:15

book of first John in Chapter three this

1:18

is what he says in verse six whosoever

1:20

abideth in him sinneth not hmm whosoever

1:25

sinneth hath not seen him neither known

1:28

him that's very hard then he says in

1:31

verse seven little children let no man

1:33

deceive you he that doeth righteousness

1:35

is righteous even as he is righteous and

1:38

he that committeth sin is of the devil

1:41

for the devil sinneth from the beginning

1:43

for this purpose the Son of God was

1:45

manifested that he might destroy the

1:47

works of the devil

1:48

well if that's true he that committeth

1:51

sin is of the devil well wait a minute

1:54

after you trusted Christ as your Savior

1:57

do you still sin are you of the devil

2:00

scary scriptures and therefore many

2:03

people in time to explain it get in

2:06

deeper and deeper now he also says in

2:09

verse nine it makes a statement

2:12

whosoever

2:13

is born of God does not commit sin and

2:15

it gives you the reason for his seed

2:17

remains in him and he cannot sin because

2:19

he is born of God you see there's two

2:22

Greek words one is PO a o and one is

2:25

pazzo now praise o think of the word

2:28

practice press o it means that you will

2:31

not habitually continually practice sin

2:36

you know and the word pelayo well that's

2:39

a word that means will not commit one

2:42

single act of sin not one so the word

2:47

that's used here in the book of verse

2:49

John is the word poleo and it means

2:51

cannot commit one single act of sin and

2:54

this is what causes a lot of people

2:56

problem because they say well well if

2:59

you're saved you're either not going to

3:00

practice sin or you cannot commit one

3:03

single act of sin so which way is it

3:06

look up here let me explain it to you

3:09

this is our first birth born in the

3:12

flesh we have an old sinful nature and

3:15

not only do we practice in we have

3:18

become very good at it this is the flesh

3:21

when you trusted Christ as your Savior

3:24

gave you a new birth this is one that's

3:27

born of God this one has no sinful

3:30

nature and cannot sin so look at the

3:31

verse when he makes this statement

3:33

whosoever is born of God which one is

3:36

born of God well the second birth this

3:39

one is not born of God when this one

3:42

sins your first birth this is of the

3:45

devil this is not of God

3:47

so you trust crisis shaker he gave you a

3:50

new birth but he didn't take this one

3:51

away so whosoever is born of God does

3:55

not commit sin for his seed remaineth in

3:58

him and he can not sin the new birth

4:00

cannot commit one single act of sin and

4:03

because it can't sin it cannot die and

4:06

because it cannot die you become a child

4:08

of God for all eternity that's what

4:11

separates these two births so when you

4:13

were born into the world sinful nature

4:16

it's gonna die but your new birth will

4:20

never die and that is the best

4:22

explanation I believe you'll ever get on

4:25

first John

4:26

three and verse nine thank you and God

4:29

bless you friend
