I feel like I lose the joy of being in fellowship with the Lord when I sin.. like his presence leaves me. I hate it so much. All I want is to serve God and please him but I still sin against him :((( Please pray for me!
@@pagen5219 Good word. The good news is as well is that every true Christian is exempted from sinning, with no present or future transgressions for all eterniy.
I get it.. the Lord has been working in my heart over this very thing.. David said in the book of Psalms that God placed us above the angles of Heaven.. Jesus didn't die for junk.. the Lord is helping me to understand that we are too "hate the sin, but not the sinner" .. God does Love us very much and for us too hate ourselves isn't what he has in mind..
That's not true, Paul never struggled with sin AFTER he was "set free from this death". Romans 7 is Paul's testimony on how the Law led him to Christ, and how he found no more condemnation, having believed in Him.
Even after salvation, we still sin. But, we strive towards holiness and a Christ like character daily. We try not to sin. And try to please God and keep our relationship with Him holy and pure, as He is and wants of us. But, we do still sin. On this side of eternity, we will sin.
Sozo7 not saying I have the answer, because I am here asking the same thing, but maybe it has something to do with our free will and the fact that the world is sinful by nature.
@@Sozo7 great point i love your comment praise god!, it is out of their character to sin. So it is sin living in them that does it. And that sin is going to die after the body itself dies. Then the soul will get a new body that will be born of a different nature. Edit: With 'Their' i mean an slave of righteousness like you mentioned in your comment. This comment is written out of the truth that i believe that i see in the bible that i see coming true in my own life more and more. Praise be to our lord Jesus!
1 Peter 4:1-2 “Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.” 2 Peter 1:10 “Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.” 1 John 3:3 “And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.” 1 John 3:6-7 “Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.” Revelation 3:21 “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
@Puppet 777 he died for all sins and will forgive us if we forsake our sins and truly repent but if we go back then we lose our relationship with God you cant server two masters
Thanks John for explanation. I sin every day, but thanks be to God for the gift of repentance, mercy, grace and forgiveness. I’m not good, only God is good, but thank you Lord Jesus that I’m righteous in your sight, not by anything I have to offer, but this wonderful gift to be right with you and praise you for all eternity! Amen.
@Janaina Ribeiro overcoming sin doesnt mean to never sin again. When you are born again you pick up Gods word, start to fight it and try to be more like christ. Christians who say "i dont sin" are lying to themselfs (1 john 1:8-10).
You need to get saved. Anybody who is still capable of sinning is still in his sins, still under the law, still of the world, and still in the flesh. None of these are Christian.
@@kevindorn2508 You must be speaking of only a disciple, but not a Christian. True convert gets translated into the kingdom of God's dear son and the old nature which causes sin is passed away.
@@ralphowen3367 "if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselfs AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US" 1 Jon 1:8. I would be very careful with running around telling yourself and others you are sinless. We all need Jesus blood to cleanse us, we dont get saved by our own power. The old adam never just vanishes, paul himself said he has to battle the old ego/adam/man. As long as we are in our old bodies we will never be perfect. Thats why this corrupt fleshly body will be changed into a new one when we die or life until the rapture.
You know as a recovering alcoholic there are days I don't do so well. In the past 10 months I've drank twice. Since June the 12th of 2021 that's a total of six times where I have relapsed. Not for weeks on end or any kind of nonsense like that but just once but that's a whole lot better than where I was. One of the hardest things to shake off is that, when I fail. The thing about it is I know scripture not as well as he does but I know scripture. One commenter said he feels like he loses the joy of the Lord when he sends and I think that's apropos. One thing I do however is I stop and look back and ask God to forgive me and I thank him for his grace that got me where I am this far. I used to drink everyday. By God's grace and continuing to fight this will become a distant memory.
Anytime I sin I get so discourage and I start to question if I Truly Love God but than I Remember what peter did to Christ peter denied Jesus 3 times it isn't much different from what we do when we sin when we sin we commit a act of betrayal towards God and deny him by our actions but after peter had realized that what Jesus spoke of came true he mourned and sobbed until When Jesus returns to them again Jesus asks peter the same question 3 times *Thou Loves me?* and peter said "Yes Lord I Lovest Thou" that their shows how even a apostle of Jesus Christ can fall into sin and it also shows and puts light on repentance and forgiveness God knows we are going to sin but its what we do after we sin God cares about the most (And If your stuck in Repetitive Get yourself away from the situation)
I dont agree with everything pastor john says but the things I do he really helps to understand. I am dealing with a lady who believes if you sin at all after you give youre life to christ. You are not actually saved. you give me encouragement
@Janaina Ribeiro I have not made peace with sin. No christian who is truly a believer and follower of christ makes peace with sin. But a lot of people misunderstand what I mean when I talk about this subject so maybe i can explain a bit better. A christian by the very definition is a follower of christ its what the world calls us as a title. So our first and foremost duty as christians is to put our faith in Jesus Christ who is God. This means in order to be a christian, a follower of christ in these days a person must: Submit themselves to the authority of God Repent of their sins and accept christ into our hearts Be baptised in the name of the Father and son and holy spirit. And live a life dedicated to following Jesus and his commands. You cannot be a christian if you are living a life of being: fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners. If anyone is living a lifestyle that falls under any of these, they are not saved. However, when a person gives their life to christ, they decide to follow him. They not only give up their old sins, they also see the truth about those sins because they know the evils of them now. But this doesn’t make them perfect. “”Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” gal. 3:3 when read in context Paul is saying that you cannot save yourself through works of the flesh. Even with the holy spirit inside you. Now this doesnt specifically talk about sin itself but “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 16If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 17All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.” To save a bit of reading. I'm gonna try and wrap this up here Im not saying that we should be in peace with our sin, quite the opposite. When we follow jesus, we should not sin, ever. But jesus knows our flesh is going to fight against that desire and sometimes we will fall. And when he turns his attention to our fall we get back up and run to catch up. We kneel down and we repent again and apologize for falling behind. If we are believers the spirit will convict us when we sin, and our response should be to repent and to keep following him. This is what jesus meant by: “All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.” John 6:37-39 And more! I hope that helps to clear things up…
1 John 1:8-9 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Why would we need to pick up our cross and walk daily, if their was no work to be done?? The righteous man FALLS, and gets back up.. we are sinners by nature. If you say your sinless. That means your like Jesus.. nobody is like him.
I just keep thinking of the verses “The wages of sin is death” over and over again Also “sin shall not have dominion over you” and “he who sins is a slave of sin” And then Galatians 5:16 “If you walk in the spirit you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh” Proverbs 28:13 “He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” I understand confessing, but forsaking is totally different. Also without holiness no man shall see the Lord in Hebrews 12:14 Ephesians 5:26-27 “that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” Not having a spot or wrinkle and without blemish? There are plenty of other verses, but these are the ones that stuck out to me and gave me a lot to think about. Especially since light has no friendship with darkness either. Not trying to start an argument, just in a pickle about this. Because we can run around scripture all day, and not all of the Bible is literal, since most is metaphorical as well. But I would think this would be meant to be taken in a literal sense. Thank you brothers and sisters. I say this out of love to all who love Christ like I do in hopes we are doing the right thing as Christian’s in our obedience to him. God bless!
I was just talking to a guy on another thread named Dave Obrien and he believes this. He was very rude to me and called me names. He was sinning just by the way he was acting towards me and he will not admit it. He said he has been in the bible 40 years and he preaches this false doctrine. Very sad.
@@timothyseals3791 No I don't, you are a liar. I never said any such thing, nor did we ever discuss sickness. You have slandered me publicly, and now I will find out who you are and have my attorney send you a letter.
I can testify to this. Im a born agsin believer whos fighting against sexual sin. Every time i seemingly make peace with sin Gods spirit wrangles and takes hold. I end up tightening the prevention measures. 8 months in ive blocked 89-92% porn access on all devices. When i started, i only relied on christ. Fir me that wasnt enough. Matt 5:29 rang true. Prevention is EVERYTHING. i think even if you die in this state before overcoming, you are still saved because you were in a state of trying to overtime. No believer keeps on sinning without this type of chastisement constantly present in his life.
I'm Tired of remembering my past sins because I know I have newness of Life in Christ for the old things have passed. sometimes in order to feel forgiven you must first forgive yourself
I disagree. Forgiveness is always directly achieved by Jesus’s sacrifice. If you need forgiveness for sin after being “truly saved” what means did God use to ensure that????
Guys, the question is blatantly obvious: "from the alleged point of true conversion to the time they die, will a believer NEVER AGAIN commit a sinful act?" It isn't "now that we're Christians, do we have permission to sin as long as we say "sorry" to God?" This comment board is frustrating.
The Lord has the power to help us stop sinning once and for all. He is all powerful stop lying to yourself and repent. Ask Him for help to stop and He will use His omnipotent power to help you stop. He has come to destroy the works of the devil in our lives, once and for all.
But what happens when you ask and he doesn’t respond? I am aware of people being baptized in the Holy Spirit which would make not sinning so so so much easier! I had an encounter when I first reached out to God for the first time and I felt the Holy Spirit for days and God made himself apparent to me and from that point on I’ve been “saved”, I’ve had very strong encounters of walking in the spirit for long periods of time , but I have never been baptized in the Holy Spirit or spoken in tongues and this worries me!!
@@Pro_Se_Protoge If you truly have the desire to stop sinning ask Him for help and if you are destined He will answer you. Trust me, if you are truly meant be His, He will eventually make it so, but that is His decision, not ours. That is what most do not know. He is a real person with a mind of His own, and He decides who enters His kingdom. Throw yourself at His mercy, and have faith that He will hear you. May His will be done, and if it is to be so, may it be so, only when He desires. Wait upon Him in faith after calling upon His name. If your faith fails you, sadly, it may be that you are not destined to be His. I pray for your sake that this is not so. I hope He does save you.
After listening to this I’m confused Pastor John. My wife left me and married another man. I believe it’s the biblical definition of adultery. It hurts every day for the last eight years. I don’t understand how she can go to heaven. It feels like she’s doing horrific evil without a repentant heart. But she claims to be a believer and in many ways behaves as one better than I. I have the same sentiment about a high school friend who has chosen a homosexual lifestyle and still claims to be a Christ follower. Does my ex-wife and my friend go to eternity in heaven? I don’t see them there unless there is a major repentance. I’m not Catholic, but it feels like the concept of a mortal sin. There seems to be a profession of faith and a reliance on the blood of Christ and yet this ongoing perpetual sin with no repentance. I also have a beam in my own eye and I can’t seem to stop. I guess the difference is that I see it as sin and don’t want it to be part of my life. I’m concerned for my wife’s eternal condition and so desperately desire for her to repent.
1 John 1:8-9 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Sometimes we make 3 steps forward then one step back, and then later 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Sometimes we do good and then do bad in cycles, it's a war against the flesh.
Can a born-again believer fall in same sin which he committed prior to his salvation? I'm not asking about consistent sin practicing. Thanks. Please tell me Sir.
the devil knows our weaknesses and does all he can too exploit them.. we will be "fighting the good fight" till the day we go too be with the Lord.. Stay strong Brother in Christ cause it is only through Christ that we can stay strong.. Peace
@@statesrights01 Dear Sir, I understood your explanation but my question was, can a born-again believer fall in same sin which he committed prior to his salvation? I'm not asking about consistent sin but the sin which he had committed. If you answer, then I would be so much grateful to you. Hoping to get answer from you. Thanks Sir.
@@gloryinthe3rd166 Amen man! it was so hard for me to wrap my head around the verse quoted in the video, because opponents would say that john piper was adding to the texts, but 1 John 1:8-10 literally says that we deceive ourselves if we believe to be without sin
Another thing though, I admit that I was sinful in the past before I was saved by faith in Christ but what about the future? Are we tasked to be free of willful sinning after we are saved?
@@gloryinthe3rd166 Nope, he is talking TO Christians ABOUT those who have yet to confess they have sin and be cleansed from all unrighteousness. Obviously, anyone who has been cleansed of all sin is not lying if they say they have no sin, having been cleansed. Only those who have NOT been cleansed are lying when they say they have no sin. Simple, really it is. You need to learn how to understand what you read, before you speak about it.
Sooooo for people saying no don’t sin, we are not to sin, we are to never sin after being saved… I’m pretty sure no one WANTS to sin after being saved. It’s not just something that we are excited and willing to do all the time but we may find ourselves sinning again at some point in our life. Is every single sin mentioned in the Bible??? If not, we may sin unknowingly sometimes. I’m just worried because I am new in Christ however I’m just afraid of the future I don’t want to fail God or let him down if I ever sin again. I’m also thinking if we say we never sin then we are saying we are perfect. The sin is what makes us not perfect… right?? Just seriously curious and asking questions here. I feel like a lot of Christians say they don’t sin but they also say they are not perfect and make mistakes when other people are looking to them. What do they mean by mistakes??? My guess would be sin. Don’t try to reword it to make it sound better. If you made a mistake, you basically sinned (not all the time but most, that’s why they said it) Someone who is of God, correct me if I’m wrong 🤷🏽♀️
Ecclesiastes 7 says not to be overly righteous. That is probably what they are referring to when they say mistakes, like a typing error or something that they messed up with on the job. Jesus was not "perfect" either. He had lusts just like the rest of us which is why he was tempted by "satan". He had to be reproved by the canaanite woman who told him she had to eat the crumbs. Hebrews says Jesus became complete through his death, meaning he had to live his life UP TO being complete. This "perfection" idea is a lie from hell and it came from already being "perfect" but not perfect enough.
I didn’t get it in recommendations but I’m searching it out because I’m trying to see where Jesse is getting this from.. I love what he does but when I hear him talking about how he doesn’t sin and no one born again does if they do. Iv never heard of such. No man is good so how could someone even after being born again never sin. I feel like that is blasphemy?
The bible says the opposite, that we will all struggle with sin and mistakes. I have even seen teachers and preachers lying and contradicting themselves and swearing, this is quite common among leaders of the christian faith. We need to work on ourselves and always bear in mind that we will be judged on our mentality and our spiritual level, and how we took on Christs persona and identity. I bear that thought every single day. We should all.
@@sandyschutt6132 amen to that we are saved by the grace of God through faith in Him not if we sin or dont sin again ! If we have a struggle aginst sin then it shows we are saved as those that are not dont struggle at all.
Do not give anyone permission to carry on sinning and get away with it. A Christian without life is not a Christian... Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled... Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Do you know that nowhere after the gospels are we told to ask God for forgiveness? 11 Corinthians 5:17 says we are a new creation and old things have passed away. We are no longer sinners but the very righteousness of God. Note, it does not say we are covered with righteousness but we are the very righteousness of God. Does the righteousness of God sin, I don't think so. We are told by the Lord in First Corinthians 6 and 10 that all things are lawful or permissible but not all things are profitable or beneficial. Sin is a violation of God's law but if we are under grace we are not under law. We are in right relationship with God if we are Christians but we can be out of fellowship with our neighbor and we need to make that right but that is not sin for it is horizontal and not vertical. David, when confronted by Nathan the prophet, said he had sinned against God and Him only. But David was not born again so he had not attained to righteousness as we have. Some say we sin but shouldn't practice sin is what is meant in First John. Well, if we do something every week for years is that not practicing sin. A habit or practice does not depend on how often but is it done with regularity. If you still sin after being a Christian then you are just a partly cleaned up sinner. I don't think the Word of God allows for that state.
Dude read your Bible. 1 John 2:1-2 KJV "My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world." The born again Christian still is susceptible to sinning because the sin nature lives in the body and is at war constantly with the Holy Spirit and it will be like that until we die or until the rapture. If you could stop sinning by yourself then there was no point for Jesus to come to the world and die on the Cross. We are only the righteousness of God as long as we repent and put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, burial, and resurrection. After confessing that and believing that in your heart with sincerely, when God sees us He no longer sees us as sinners but sees Christ in us, therefore rendering us perfect in His sight.
Jim Buford Sorry brother, I do not believe that is true. We need forgiveness everyday. See the verse below. And also Jesus doesnt just give us the template for how to pray in the Lords prayer, which includes asking for forgiveness, so that we would never have to pray like that again. Forgiveness is essential at the cross (redemption), in new birth, repentance, and belief (salvation) and on the road to Heaven (sanctification). We never stop needing forgiveness. We never stop needing grace. We never stop needing mercy. And the beauty is God never runs out of any of those things for his true children. By his Spirit in us, we need only ask (Psalm 51). “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:8-10
1 John 1:8-9 "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
@@krissmork Absolutely true. But that is our situation prior to being born again. We confess and He forgives us and we are born again. John was replying to church leaders who were asking questions raised by the gnostics who believed they did not need to come to Christ the same as the rest of us for they had some special relationship and John was merely saying no, they have to come confessing and believing the same as everyone else. But still confessing is not the same as asking forgiveness. Forgiveness is not held in abeyance until we ask forgiveness but is our steady state once we become the righteousness of God in Christ. We do not lose that righteousness and sin and righteousness cannot coexist.
@@jimbuford4147 Who cares about what you specifically ask for, though? It says confess and you will be forgiven. "OH, but that's not asking for forgiveness!!!" Well... what's the difference. I say "I realize what I just did was sinful, and I am sorry lord, I want it gone and I ask that you teach me to not do the same again. Be merciful towards me, a sinner." Stop this foolish discussion, we all still make mistakes and stumble and need forgiveness for it. We cannot always act perfectly according to God's will, though that is the hope and what we aim for. May the Spirit increase, and I decrease, may Jesus be magnified in me, be it by life or death. Cheers brothers. God is merciful and just, he is patient so that all may come to repentance.
Sin is rebellion against God we don't have to sin at all if we don't want to its a choice. We might make mistakes out of ignorance but that's why 1 John talks about sins not unto death Wich are accidental sins since we don't have all knowledge. You are either a sinner or a saint you can't sit both at the Lord's table and the table of demons the bible says
K. Day, Timothy Seals is a false teacher, with a false gospel, who rejects the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. He just told you a lie, because he is a liar, like his father, the devil.
K Day, some people get offended when they hear the truth and get very angry and lash out. Others accept the truth with joy. Please understand that a true Christian can fall away from grace if they do not remain in Christ. There are many warnings in scripture about this.
@@timothyseals3791 You are a liar, and a fraud, the Bible says no such thing, not even once, nor does it warn those in Christ of such nonsense, not even once. You have an evil, unbelieving heart, and you pervert God's word, just like every other false teacher. Here is what the Bible says, and it's not even close to what you claim... The phrase "fallen from grace" appears one time, and it has nothing to do with anything you said. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, tells them that those who are justified by Law, have fallen from grace... "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Law; ye are fallen from grace." Gal 5:4 Why does Paul say this? Simple, because justification is by faith, not by the works of the Law. "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." Gal 2:16 Those who are justified by Law cannot be justified by faith, so Paul tells them that it is a fall from grace when anyone is justified by Law. The context of this entire letter concerns the Judaizers who had seduced the Galatians into observing the Law by adding circumcision to the message of the gospel, just like you added to the gospel with your work of remaining in Christ to not fall from grace. Paul says that those who do what you just did, are preaching "another gospel" and are to be "accursed" (eternally damned". YOU will spend eternity separated from God, for you are without Christ and without hope. Men are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, not by works. As far as your attempt to pervert God's word by claiming that "Christians can fall away from grace, if they do not remain in Christ", the only time Jesus tells someone to "remain in Him" is in John 15, and then John exhorts his readers in his letters that those who confess that Jesus is the Christ remain (dwell) in God and God in them. "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in Him, and he in God." 1 John 4:15 KJV "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God." 1 John 4:15 NASB This is a statement of fact, not a qualifier, as you suggest. You preach works based justification. Anyone who believes the gospel (you never have) remains in God and God remains in him. It's not optional. In John 15, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, who are not yet indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that they should remain (abide), but this is also about the nation of Israel, as a whole, who will be cut-off if they do not accept Him as the Christ (see Rom 11). You are conflating many different things, because you do not comprehend anything the Bible says, so you create your own false narrative in order to deceive and deflect from the truth. You are to be accursed.
in my own experience as a believer, God never lets me continue to sin very long. For instance i once put into place moderate safe guard measures for porn. This created a barrier, a wall that i could not cross easily. But in my sin and addiction my flesh found ways around this and I continued to look as things. softer in tone but still accessible. Then i started finding ways to get back into harder stuff. it was partially blocked but not completely. This lasted a couple months until the conviction swelled up so much that my mind kept going back to Christ words of "plucking out your eye." So i decided to take a bigger harsher absolute all or nothing stand. i found a way to block EVERYHING. in doing so, i have zero access to the internet on my devices except my PC at home, which is a work PC so i wouldn't ever look there. SO on my devices i don't have access to internet browsers, nor can i download an app nor can i search anything. The most i can do is watch Netflix, Facebook, text and call and read my Tecarda Bible. Thats it. not even Facebook chat is installed because it introduced issues as well. God would not let me continue and i was presented with a serious choice. abandon this or die. once i removed ALL access, it was like throwing the Ring into the fire from LOTR. a weight lifted but with a costly worldly price. Its a perfect wall and shield. Im probably going to remove Netflix as well since there is no doubt filth on there with access. Scripture led me here. Living in this sin while being a believer isn't easy under the weight of conviction. Its pretty much impossible. It's so bad it made me feel unsaved for periods of time. I feel Free now. I feel loved. I feel as if he is proud of me but i know its what he wants because he says it in scripture. If your truly saved, God will give you a heart of flesh and this heart of flesh will desire God and eventually lead you off all addiction and the practice of sin but YOU MUST prevent access. This is not a work. It's a command.
If professing Christians are truly born again, they are not at all tempted by the foolish things those entrapped by the power of sin are suffering! The transformed follower of Jesus only feels sorry for those who don't yet have what s/he does! Of course, religion, especially Churchianity, has a strong tendency to claim all sorts of behaviors are "sinful" when, in fact, they are not...only to turn around and commit actual sins, which are those actions (or sometimes inactions) that result in hurting people or callously ignoring their suffering! Leading a sinful life, that is, a life in which one hurts others and/or is callous toward the suffering of others, is the most miserable way to live! A sinful, selfish life, is a delusion! Trampling over others to achieve gain of some sort, whether it's for money or power or fame, etc., never satisfies! That's why people who already have a lot of money, power or fame always want more, more, more! Their souls are empty and hurting others/not helping the needy to fill up one's inner void with the things the world has to offer never works! God is saddened by the ways we humans hurt each other and, because He loves EVERYONE, much as He hates the bad things we do, His desire is that we stop hurting each other to experience the joy of leading lives of doing good and helping the suffering! As far as what most of the Jews of Jesus' day believed about the Last Age--a restored, literal, independent, theocratic nation of Israel, beginning with a violent liberation from Rome in Judea, by a special man God would send to lead them to victory, the Messiah--let's face it, it didn't happen, certainly not within the timeframe Jesus predicted (before his generation passed away) HIS Kingdom would begin to spread from Judea to all the rest of the world...but the reason is because HE was not the EXPECTED Messiah! Jesus disagreed with his fellow Jews, even his own disciples, who wanted so badly for HIM to be the military king they wanted to seize the Throne of David! He was very careful about letting people know what he really thought about the "Kingdom of God," but he frequently alluded to it. For example, every time he or his disciples healed someone, he wanted the people looking on to hear, "The Kingdom has come close to you!" That would have been a very odd thing to say if he thought the "Kingdom of God" was going to be a literal government, on earth, with Jerusalem as its capital! But Jesus finally did come out and explain what HE thought the Kingdom was and where it would be located--a "kingdom" in the hearts of PEOPLE (Luke 17:20-21)! Sadly, after his death, his followers continued to see him as the Expected Messiah, waiting for him to return with an angelic army to wipe out the Romans and all their collaborators. Worse, toward the end of the First Century, when Gentiles took over the Church, they REALLY failed to get Jesus! They took him for a new god that would give their souls a free ticket to the Elysian Fields, the place in Greek Mythology that seemed to them very similar to the Jewish God's home--Heaven. However, an in depth and unbiased examination of the Canonical Gospels reveals what Jesus was really all about--transforming individual lives, one at a time, from doing bad to doing good, and every time a person is "born again," s/he becomes one more addition to the real "Kingdom of God."

@@freespirit7450 if this is true that sin of death is unrepentant sin, does this mean we must ask for repentance for every sin committed to make sure our salvation is true? Is it a work on us to save ourselves by repenting?
I wouldn't even waste my time arguing with someone who said they never sinned. Nobody's perfect - that's an obvious fact. People who think they're perfect are just insufferable hypocrites and know this.
Oh, pastor John, you couldn't be more wrong. I love you, but Christ is more powerful than my sin, not the other way around. No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen Him or known Him. You call out your own false faith with your rhetoric, and you worship the same false god, you call "Christ", that I did for 42 years before He put me on my face before Him. When Jesus saved me from sin, He placed His pure white robes on my shoulders and though I may begin to fall, He is faithful to catch me before I impact the mud (sin), because He will not allow me to stain His robes with sin. Because I occupy this earthly body, I am still in sin, and I will meet all the earthly consequences of my sin. Namely, I will face temptation, suffering, blunder and eventually death, but none of those things will ever blossom into sin ever again, because I serve a God that is more powerful than sin. So, whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. This means a habitual falsehood or blasphemy that slips past my lips before I realize the correct path is a trial, that we are called to overcome, but it does not become a sin until the wrong path is chosen, and with Christ's will within me, He will ALWAYS keep me on the narrow path. Jesus saved me from the eternal consequences of sin, and He does this by miraculously keeping His robe on my shoulders pure by catching me before, right before, I choose the wrong thing the moment I KNOW it's wrong.
Even when a true repentant believer sins God's eyes still see it. Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Watching the evil and the good. Don't ignore it confess it and ask for forgiveness. 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

To be born again we must fist repent of sin and believe that Jesus died on the cross was buried and rose again for our sins Mark 1:15 The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth ALL MEN every where to REPENT. Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH (believe) toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 26:20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds. 2 Cor 7:9-10 Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings REPENTANCE THAT LEADS TO SALVATION and leaves no regret, but worldly SORROW BRINGS DEATH. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. It's not legalizm as false teachers claim, as those scriptures say its a requirement for salvation. You're forgivin by first humbling yourself by acknowledging your sins and making a decision of the heart and mind to turn away from sin (Repent) only then will God grant the gift of faith to truly believe that Jesus died on the cross was buried and rose again for the punishment we deserve for sin. To believe is faith produced by repentance. The Apostle John in 1 John makes it clear when believers sin those sins must be confessed and forgiveness asked for.

Lots of arrogant people in the comments who imply that because they are Christians, they are 100% sinless, spotless, pure like snow and completely free of any transgression. Wow! Arrogance is overflowing! This video was published 6 years ago and the arrogant people in the comments have not committed a single sin in the last 6 years!
How is that arrogant? Piper even read the scripture himself- I'm surprised he doesn't understand it. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us." 1 John 1 7-10 I think it's arrogant to think that you know better than God. God clearly says the the blood of Jesus washes us from ALL SIN. "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves" - I didn't sin today. I don't plan on sinning tomorrow. Am I deceiving myself? No, actually, I believe God's word. I am a Christian, therefore my sins have been washed clean. True Christians will never claim a perfectly sinless life, but that is not the same as post-conversion sinlessness. We have the ability to sin, and I have sinned post conversion, but casting a blanket statement such as 'we can never defeat sin' is just unbiblical. This passage is speaking past tense. Read it again.
@@michaellemmen Keep being the sinless, sacred and holy entity. See how long this will last. You are sinless today and sinful tomorrow. The day after tomorrow you will be sinless again. In a few days you will commit a sin. Keep calling yourself sinless.
@@Sozo7 well I may sin out of ignorance but that dosnt seem to be very common you learn from your mistakes but I don't live in wilful sin when you truly are seeking God with all your heart mind soul and strength we are consumed with the things of him. Resist the devil and he will flee so at first it might be tough but it's just like a spiritual withdrawal that's why it's hard to quit for so many because they've been doing it for so long
@@Sozo7 1 John talks about sins not unto death Wich is ignorant sins since we don't have all knowledge we make mistakes just like a baby might steal and know not what he does. I agree if you sin you are a slave to sin. If you love him obey him.
I disagree. We are called to walk as Christ walks and to be blameless before others. If I am to be in Christ, and this in God, then there cannot be sin in me for there is no sin in Christ/God. Remember, Christ said "If ye love me, keep my commandments." It's that simple.
@Loriane it's an unobtainable goal in this life. But still something we should work towards. Jesus is perfect, we have no chance of being perfect in this life.
You keep his commandments because you love him not to help out your salvation. There is no way ever that you in this life you cannot sin. Because in the law, if you commit one sin you are guilty of all of them. You should keep God's commandments because it demonstrates your change and that your actually saved, plus will lead you a better life. But you just following the commandments doesn't exactly save you. Because sometimes you don't know you sin, or you struggle with sin. That perfection is an unattainable goal in this life. It only really becomes a reality in heaven. If we could reach perfection now then we wouldn't need Christ. It is truly by him we are saved because no matter what you do whether saved or not. No action can justify you enough. It's much easier to be blameless before others. It's a lot harder to br blameless before God and to be blameless when your alone. All honor and glory be to God! We should strive to be on fire for God living a life that he is pleased with of course. If we don't we could become cold and loose our way to what our real purpose is. That we can keep that relationship with God cause that is all we got!
So, when Jesus said go and sin no more you make him a trickster with YOUR personal interpretation... your view is the definition of having a form of godliness but denying the power there of. I'm saying this in love and correction so if you put a hateful inflection on my words that is not from me. I trust that Jesus can keep me from all unrighteousness because he has the power to do so after all what fellowship does have dark with light. The message presented is a direct contradiction to the point of the bible saying that you cant walk the fence. Who you serve is your master either sin unto death or Jesus unto life.
I appreciate your want to correct and help, so I return the favour. "Go and sin no more". And she never told another lie, got angry with her sister or friend or neighbour, never did something without faith, never gave into a temptation to lust, greed, hate, envy? No. I'm sure she gave it her best though, and by the help and power of God's Holy Spirit saw salvation through Jesus, the One who defends us in the face of God's judgement. 1 John 1:8-9 "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.". We confess our sins and are made clean. We repent and yes, we are not to repeat our past transgressions. However, there is hope when we fall as we read in 1 John 2: "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world." Also, how many times does Jesus tell us to forgive our brother? Seven times seventy in a day? How can we forgive our brother if he does not sin? Or does this apply only to our unsaved friends and family, and we are not to forgive our brothers in Christ? I doubt that. I'm sure you've read Paul's letters? There are many examples from his letters where he guides us on how to treat a sinning brother in the church. He says that if we confront our brother, and he repents, we have given him life! Praise God. Here is the trick, as I see it: There is a difference between falling in sin and walking in them - while maybe even saying they're not sins! There is a difference between losing a fight to the darkness without wanting to, and walking in it. To put it poetically: A walk is farther than a step, dear friend. You know as well as me that you still fall from time to time. Confess rather than betray yourself by saying you didn't sin! May God be merciful and forgive you when you earnestly confess and have your sins washed away by the blood of Jesus. I pray your walk in the Spirit is strengthened every day and last a lifetime, brother, continuing as you enter eternity, amen. Much love.
@@krissmork even in the scripture you quote you miss it... "if" not "when": if we sin we have an advocate. In first john chapter two it says if we say we follow Him(Christ) but do not keep His commands we are liars and there is no truth in us. Remember scripture says liars shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven and Jesus is the way the TRUTH and the life. Now it says if we say we have not sinned... have not sinned or have no sin is different from sin no more. I have sinned, I sin no more is a correct statement. But walking on the sin side of the fence and claiming to walk with Christ. I know that many will struggle with this and deny Christ's power who bought them but there are reasons why scriptures like be yeah perfect as your father in heaven is perfect exist. Those who don't understand myst ignore or explain these away.
@@jeffroberts2934 I believed that there would be no fight against sin because of the victory of Jesus when I chose to accept the gift of faith and fellowship with Jesus as Lord, but I was proven wrong. There's a war between Spirit and flesh. The carnal does show itself every single day, and I pray for it to die as it does. I am not fooled, my friend. You do not walk perfectly. If you think your walk is perfect, you don't realize the purity and holiness of God's standard - and there is none who is good but God. I hope you confess soon. Denial will not help cleanse you, just like saying "there is no battle here" on a battlefield will not make the enemy leave you be. The armour we are to put on is to be used. You ignored my points about Paul's writings and Jesus commanding us to forgive our brother. I am not supportive of sin. I hate sin. Christians all over the world should be ashamed, and many are decieved. Sinning against the Lord is no small matter, and it should not be taken lightly. Sin leads to death. One man bragged before God. Another said "God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" Who walked away justified? Jesus says: "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
@@krissmork I understand your misunderstanding... but I HAVE NOT said I am without sin. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But I also recognize that the bible says Jesus is faithful to complete the work he has begun in us. I let God do the work in me and remember it is said "resist the devil and he will flee from you." And when it comes to accusing others of sin remember there is one who accuses the brethren. As a simple recommendation I would point to scripture, as I have done, and let the holy spirit correct. So, by that I dont accuse, however others feel convicted when their conscious and the spirit of God places pressure on them. I have not ignored your points I pointed out "if" to you. For example: if you eat bread it will help sustain you. Does this mean you will eat bread, you won't eat bread or the fact that you have the option? Anyone who is being honest will see that this means you have the option to eat bread or not... in the same way the bible says -if we sin we know that we have an advocate.(not when) So, you can be corrected and Jesus can perfect his work in you. This addresses the correcting a brother because, like a child being corrected, if they repent you have gained a brother. Once again "if". I don't wish to argue with you if you are not correctable, so, I will not respond further. I hope you go back to scripture and realize what it says. Know I do not have to ignore be ye perfect/holy or sin no more because when scripture is understood it all flows in the same direction.
@@jeffroberts2934 I do not feel convicted, sorry. I was into all that before and have been led away from it as it is obviously faulty. I don't mean to accuse you, but I am certain that you still sin. The Word even says that he who knows about something good to do, but doesn't do it, sins. I'm okay with sou saying its theoretically possible to walk without sin from here on out. I just don't expect a human to manage it, even with God's help, because God doesn't ever take away our will. If you want to believe you do not sin anymore, okay. Just be sure to confess and repent when, yes when, you do. We all make mistankes, let us not stay in them. The standard is to love God with all your heart, mind, strength and your neighbour as yourself in every situation of your life, in every minute of the day. There is no off-time. Oh well, I guess I just found the first perfect man I've ever met, on youtube. Haha. Good luck, I pray the Spirit will lead us both, and I hope this understanding of yours doesn't lead you astray. Remember, IF you have committed any small og big sin (yes, even if you looked with lust for a second, or joked about something you shouldn't, or felt pride about how sinless you are) and do not confess it as sin, you make God a liar.
I feel like I lose the joy of being in fellowship with the Lord when I sin.. like his presence leaves me. I hate it so much. All I want is to serve God and please him but I still sin against him :(((
Please pray for me!
Thank you pastor amen
But what do your feelings have to do with anything? We are not sinners because we feel like we are.
If you still sin, you had come to the door of justification, but had never entered in.
YOU BEEN FORGIVEN,,,,,,,JESUS DID IT,
@@pagen5219 Good word. The good news is as well is that every true Christian is exempted from sinning, with no present or future transgressions for all eterniy.
Sin makes me hate myself!
I get it.. the Lord has been working in my heart over this very thing.. David said in the book of Psalms that God placed us above the angles of Heaven.. Jesus didn't die for junk.. the Lord is helping me to understand that we are too "hate the sin, but not the sinner" .. God does Love us very much and for us too hate ourselves isn't what he has in mind..
Same
Your forgiven, don't have shame just love your neighbor
The apostle Paul even struggled with sin. Sin should never be justified, but we still sin at times
That's not true, Paul never struggled with sin AFTER he was "set free from this death". Romans 7 is Paul's testimony on how the Law led him to Christ, and how he found no more condemnation, having believed in Him.
You greatly err in suggesting that Paul still sinned occasionally.
Paul actually suffered from involuntary sinning per Romans 7
Amen for this message!
We don't become sinless but we sin less. No more habitual sin
Even after salvation, we still sin. But, we strive towards holiness and a Christ like character daily. We try not to sin. And try to please God and keep our relationship with Him holy and pure, as He is and wants of us. But, we do still sin. On this side of eternity, we will sin.
Anushka:
You never answered my question about your selfishness on that other thread.
It's probably buried now, so you're off the hook.
How does a slave of righteousness sin, if he who sins is a slave of sin?
Sozo7 not saying I have the answer, because I am here asking the same thing, but maybe it has something to do with our free will and the fact that the world is sinful by nature.
@@Sozo7 great point i love your comment praise god!, it is out of their character to sin. So it is sin living in them that does it. And that sin is going to die after the body itself dies. Then the soul will get a new body that will be born of a different nature.
Edit: With 'Their' i mean an slave of righteousness like you mentioned in your comment.
This comment is written out of the truth that i believe that i see in the bible that i see coming true in my own life more and more. Praise be to our lord Jesus!
1 Peter 4:1-2
“Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.”
2 Peter 1:10
“Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.”
1 John 3:3
“And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”
1 John 3:6-7
“Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.”
Revelation 3:21
“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
I wish I could never sin but what would be the reason for Jesus being sent ?
exactly.
To teach us how to live
To reconcile us with the Father.
Jesus died so we wouldn't have punishments for our past sins we all have fallen short but that dosnt mean we have to continue
@Puppet 777 he died for all sins and will forgive us if we forsake our sins and truly repent but if we go back then we lose our relationship with God you cant server two masters
Thanks John for explanation. I sin every day, but thanks be to God for the gift of repentance, mercy, grace and forgiveness. I’m not good, only God is good, but thank you Lord Jesus that I’m righteous in your sight, not by anything I have to offer, but this wonderful gift to be right with you and praise you for all eternity! Amen.
@Janaina Ribeiro do you think that you sin ? Just curious
@Janaina Ribeiro overcoming sin doesnt mean to never sin again. When you are born again you pick up Gods word, start to fight it and try to be more like christ. Christians who say "i dont sin" are lying to themselfs (1 john 1:8-10).
You need to get saved. Anybody who is still capable of sinning is still in his sins, still under the law, still of the world, and still in the flesh. None of these are Christian.
@@kevindorn2508 You must be speaking of only a disciple, but not a Christian. True convert gets translated into the kingdom of God's dear son and the old nature which causes sin is passed away.
@@ralphowen3367 "if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselfs AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US" 1 Jon 1:8.
I would be very careful with running around telling yourself and others you are sinless. We all need Jesus blood to cleanse us, we dont get saved by our own power. The old adam never just vanishes, paul himself said he has to battle the old ego/adam/man. As long as we are in our old bodies we will never be perfect. Thats why this corrupt fleshly body will be changed into a new one when we die or life until the rapture.
You know as a recovering alcoholic there are days I don't do so well. In the past 10 months I've drank twice. Since June the 12th of 2021 that's a total of six times where I have relapsed. Not for weeks on end or any kind of nonsense like that but just once but that's a whole lot better than where I was. One of the hardest things to shake off is that, when I fail. The thing about it is I know scripture not as well as he does but I know scripture. One commenter said he feels like he loses the joy of the Lord when he sends and I think that's apropos. One thing I do however is I stop and look back and ask God to forgive me and I thank him for his grace that got me where I am this far. I used to drink everyday. By God's grace and continuing to fight this will become a distant memory.
Thank you God. Praise Jesus. I’m so thankful for this message.
Anytime I sin I get so discourage and I start to question if I Truly Love God but than I Remember what peter did to Christ peter denied Jesus 3 times it isn't much different from what we do when we sin when we sin we commit a act of betrayal towards God and deny him by our actions but after peter had realized that what Jesus spoke of came true he mourned and sobbed until When Jesus returns to them again Jesus asks peter the same question 3 times *Thou Loves me?* and peter said "Yes Lord I Lovest Thou" that their shows how even a apostle of Jesus Christ can fall into sin and it also shows and puts light on repentance and forgiveness God knows we are going to sin but its what we do after we sin God cares about the most (And If your stuck in Repetitive Get yourself away from the situation)
I dont agree with everything pastor john says but the things I do he really helps to understand. I am dealing with a lady who believes if you sin at all after you give youre life to christ. You are not actually saved. you give me encouragement
@Janaina Ribeiro
I have not made peace with sin.
No christian who is truly a believer and follower of christ makes peace with sin.
But a lot of people misunderstand what I mean when I talk about this subject so maybe i can explain a bit better.
A christian by the very definition is a follower of christ its what the world calls us as a title. So our first and foremost duty as christians is to put our faith in Jesus Christ who is God.
This means in order to be a christian, a follower of christ in these days a person must:
Submit themselves to the authority of God
Repent of their sins and accept christ into our hearts
Be baptised in the name of the Father and son and holy spirit.
And live a life dedicated to following Jesus and his commands.
You cannot be a christian if you are living a life of being:
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners. If anyone is living a lifestyle that falls under any of these, they are not saved.
However, when a person gives their life to christ, they decide to follow him. They not only give up their old sins, they also see the truth about those sins because they know the evils of them now. But this doesn’t make them perfect.
“”Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” gal. 3:3 when read in context Paul is saying that you cannot save yourself through works of the flesh. Even with the holy spirit inside you. Now this doesnt specifically talk about sin itself but
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
16If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 17All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.”
To save a bit of reading. I'm gonna try and wrap this up here
Im not saying that we should be in peace with our sin, quite the opposite. When we follow jesus, we should not sin, ever. But jesus knows our flesh is going to fight against that desire and sometimes we will fall. And when he turns his attention to our fall we get back up and run to catch up. We kneel down and we repent again and apologize for falling behind.
If we are believers the spirit will convict us when we sin, and our response should be to repent and to keep following him. This is what jesus meant by:
“All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.” John 6:37-39
And more! I hope that helps to clear things up…
1 John 1:8-9 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
This helps me greatly thank you John. You’ve got some great understanding of scripture praise God.
Dr. Rev John Piper is faithful to text and deals with the question contextually.
Piper is a false teacher in an anti-Christ cult.
Pied Piper is leading people over the cliff.
Thank you Pastor John! Wonderfully inspiring! God bless you!
Love this message thank you!
Why would we need to pick up our cross and walk daily, if their was no work to be done?? The righteous man FALLS, and gets back up.. we are sinners by nature. If you say your sinless. That means your like Jesus.. nobody is like him.
I just keep thinking of the verses
“The wages of sin is death” over and over again
Also “sin shall not have dominion over you” and “he who sins is a slave of sin”
And then Galatians 5:16
“If you walk in the spirit you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh”
Proverbs 28:13
“He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”
I understand confessing, but forsaking is totally different.
Also without holiness no man shall see the Lord in Hebrews 12:14
Ephesians 5:26-27
“that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”
Not having a spot or wrinkle and without blemish?
There are plenty of other verses, but these are the ones that stuck out to me and gave me a lot to think about. Especially since light has no friendship with darkness either.
Not trying to start an argument, just in a pickle about this. Because we can run around scripture all day, and not all of the Bible is literal, since most is metaphorical as well. But I would think this would be meant to be taken in a literal sense.
Thank you brothers and sisters. I say this out of love to all who love Christ like I do in hopes we are doing the right thing as Christian’s in our obedience to him.
God bless!
There is false teachings going around now saying that true Christians never get sick or sin, and anyone who believes otherwise is lost forever
Yup
I was just talking to a guy on another thread named Dave Obrien and he believes this. He was very rude to me and called me names. He was sinning just by the way he was acting towards me and he will not admit it.
He said he has been in the bible 40 years and he preaches this false doctrine. Very sad.
@@timothyseals3791 No I don't, you are a liar. I never said any such thing, nor did we ever discuss sickness. You have slandered me publicly, and now I will find out who you are and have my attorney send you a letter.
@@SilasRaven When should I expect the letter?
They don’t you are self decived Read 1 John 3
This aligns so much with my experience and being in a relationship with God
I can testify to this. Im a born agsin believer whos fighting against sexual sin. Every time i seemingly make peace with sin Gods spirit wrangles and takes hold. I end up tightening the prevention measures. 8 months in ive blocked 89-92% porn access on all devices. When i started, i only relied on christ. Fir me that wasnt enough. Matt 5:29 rang true. Prevention is EVERYTHING. i think even if you die in this state before overcoming, you are still saved because you were in a state of trying to overtime. No believer keeps on sinning without this type of chastisement constantly present in his life.
AMEN that helped!
I've been blessed with this.
Love it ❤️
A real Christian can't sin because God's seeds remains in them.
You got that right.
And the Holy Spirit lives in the mind too. If we say that Christians can sin then we’re saying that sinful thoughts can win over…
I'm Tired of remembering my past sins because I know I have newness of Life in Christ for the old things have passed. sometimes in order to feel forgiven you must first forgive yourself
I disagree. Forgiveness is always directly achieved by Jesus’s sacrifice. If you need forgiveness for sin after being “truly saved” what means did God use to ensure that????
Guys, the question is blatantly obvious: "from the alleged point of true conversion to the time they die, will a believer NEVER AGAIN commit a sinful act?" It isn't "now that we're Christians, do we have permission to sin as long as we say "sorry" to God?" This comment board is frustrating.
The Lord has the power to help us stop sinning once and for all. He is all powerful stop lying to yourself and repent. Ask Him for help to stop and He will use His omnipotent power to help you stop. He has come to destroy the works of the devil in our lives, once and for all.
But what happens when you ask and he doesn’t respond? I am aware of people being baptized in the Holy Spirit which would make not sinning so so so much easier! I had an encounter when I first reached out to God for the first time and I felt the Holy Spirit for days and God made himself apparent to me and from that point on I’ve been “saved”, I’ve had very strong encounters of walking in the spirit for long periods of time , but I have never been baptized in the Holy Spirit or spoken in tongues and this worries me!!
@@Pro_Se_Protoge If you truly have the desire to stop sinning ask Him for help and if you are destined He will answer you. Trust me, if you are truly meant be His, He will eventually make it so, but that is His decision, not ours. That is what most do not know. He is a real person with a mind of His own, and He decides who enters His kingdom. Throw yourself at His mercy, and have faith that He will hear you. May His will be done, and if it is to be so, may it be so, only when He desires. Wait upon Him in faith after calling upon His name. If your faith fails you, sadly, it may be that you are not destined to be His. I pray for your sake that this is not so. I hope He does save you.
Jesus loves you.
After listening to this I’m confused Pastor John. My wife left me and married another man. I believe it’s the biblical definition of adultery. It hurts every day for the last eight years. I don’t understand how she can go to heaven. It feels like she’s doing horrific evil without a repentant heart. But she claims to be a believer and in many ways behaves as one better than I. I have the same sentiment about a high school friend who has chosen a homosexual lifestyle and still claims to be a Christ follower. Does my ex-wife and my friend go to eternity in heaven? I don’t see them there unless there is a major repentance. I’m not Catholic, but it feels like the concept of a mortal sin. There seems to be a profession of faith and a reliance on the blood of Christ and yet this ongoing perpetual sin with no repentance. I also have a beam in my own eye and I can’t seem to stop. I guess the difference is that I see it as sin and don’t want it to be part of my life. I’m concerned for my wife’s eternal condition and so desperately desire for her to repent.
I was doing so good at fighting my temptation and avoiding sin but I’ve slipped back into a pattern of sin am i still saved ?
Youre only human no one is perfect.
1 John 1:8-9 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Faith in Christ is the only thing that fights temptation.
Sometimes we make 3 steps forward then one step back, and then later 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Sometimes we do good and then do bad in cycles, it's a war against the flesh.
If u repent and truly showed change in life yes
Can a born-again believer fall in same sin which he committed prior to his salvation? I'm not asking about consistent sin practicing. Thanks. Please tell me Sir.
the devil knows our weaknesses and does all he can too exploit them.. we will be "fighting the good fight" till the day we go too be with the Lord.. Stay strong Brother in Christ cause it is only through Christ that we can stay strong.. Peace
@@statesrights01 Dear Sir, I understood your explanation but my question was, can a born-again believer fall in same sin which he committed prior to his salvation? I'm not asking about consistent sin but the sin which he had committed. If you answer, then I would be so much grateful to you. Hoping to get answer from you. Thanks Sir.
@@premjitmissal4163 What convicts you of sin?
1st John 1:8 through 10 can clarify this for people
He's talking to Christians there and 1st John 1:8 through 10
@@gloryinthe3rd166 Amen man! it was so hard for me to wrap my head around the verse quoted in the video, because opponents would say that john piper was adding to the texts, but 1 John 1:8-10 literally says that we deceive ourselves if we believe to be without sin
Another thing though, I admit that I was sinful in the past before I was saved by faith in Christ but what about the future? Are we tasked to be free of willful sinning after we are saved?
@@gloryinthe3rd166 Nope, he is talking TO Christians ABOUT those who have yet to confess they have sin and be cleansed from all unrighteousness. Obviously, anyone who has been cleansed of all sin is not lying if they say they have no sin, having been cleansed. Only those who have NOT been cleansed are lying when they say they have no sin. Simple, really it is. You need to learn how to understand what you read, before you speak about it.
Sooooo for people saying no don’t sin, we are not to sin, we are to never sin after being saved… I’m pretty sure no one WANTS to sin after being saved. It’s not just something that we are excited and willing to do all the time but we may find ourselves sinning again at some point in our life. Is every single sin mentioned in the Bible??? If not, we may sin unknowingly sometimes. I’m just worried because I am new in Christ however I’m just afraid of the future I don’t want to fail God or let him down if I ever sin again. I’m also thinking if we say we never sin then we are saying we are perfect. The sin is what makes us not perfect… right?? Just seriously curious and asking questions here. I feel like a lot of Christians say they don’t sin but they also say they are not perfect and make mistakes when other people are looking to them. What do they mean by mistakes??? My guess would be sin. Don’t try to reword it to make it sound better. If you made a mistake, you basically sinned (not all the time but most, that’s why they said it) Someone who is of God, correct me if I’m wrong 🤷🏽♀️
Ecclesiastes 7 says not to be overly righteous. That is probably what they are referring to when they say mistakes, like a typing error or something that they messed up with on the job. Jesus was not "perfect" either. He had lusts just like the rest of us which is why he was tempted by "satan". He had to be reproved by the canaanite woman who told him she had to eat the crumbs. Hebrews says Jesus became complete through his death, meaning he had to live his life UP TO being complete. This "perfection" idea is a lie from hell and it came from already being "perfect" but not perfect enough.
did anyone else get recommended this video coming from the Jesse Lee Peterson/Steven Anderson video?
gmale06 amazin! I did
I didn’t get it in recommendations but I’m searching it out because I’m trying to see where Jesse is getting this from.. I love what he does but when I hear him talking about how he doesn’t sin and no one born again does if they do. Iv never heard of such. No man is good so how could someone even after being born again never sin. I feel like that is blasphemy?
The bible says the opposite, that we will all struggle with sin and mistakes. I have even seen teachers and preachers lying and contradicting themselves and swearing, this is quite common among leaders of the christian faith. We need to work on ourselves and always bear in mind that we will be judged on our mentality and our spiritual level, and how we took on Christs persona and identity. I bear that thought every single day. We should all.
Go your way and sin no more

When Adam fell sin became a part of his nature. We have that nature. In order to serve our Lord God and Savior we need to rely on His continuing intercession for us in Heaven at the throne of God our Father. Our prayer confessing sins, He hears, through the intercession of God the Holy Spirit, we pray, according to the truth of 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2 & the Lord's prayer Matthew 6:9-13 . He IS our High Priest above 24/7! He keeps us and it is He who will complete our sanctification & salvation at that time of the Rapture of the Bride .

THE SURE "PEACE" IN JESUS CHRIST
-
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ”Romans chapter 5 :verse 1
Is it possible to not sin daily?
Do you know that nowhere after the gospels are we told to ask God for forgiveness? 11 Corinthians 5:17 says we are a new creation and old things have passed away. We are no longer sinners but the very righteousness of God. Note, it does not say we are covered with righteousness but we are the very righteousness of God. Does the righteousness of God sin, I don't think so. We are told by the Lord in First Corinthians 6 and 10 that all things are lawful or permissible but not all things are profitable or beneficial. Sin is a violation of God's law but if we are under grace we are not under law. We are in right relationship with God if we are Christians but we can be out of fellowship with our neighbor and we need to make that right but that is not sin for it is horizontal and not vertical. David, when confronted by Nathan the prophet, said he had sinned against God and Him only. But David was not born again so he had not attained to righteousness as we have. Some say we sin but shouldn't practice sin is what is meant in First John. Well, if we do something every week for years is that not practicing sin. A habit or practice does not depend on how often but is it done with regularity. If you still sin after being a Christian then you are just a partly cleaned up sinner. I don't think the Word of God allows for that state.
Dude read your Bible. 1 John 2:1-2 KJV "My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world." The born again Christian still is susceptible to sinning because the sin nature lives in the body and is at war constantly with the Holy Spirit and it will be like that until we die or until the rapture. If you could stop sinning by yourself then there was no point for Jesus to come to the world and die on the Cross. We are only the righteousness of God as long as we repent and put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, burial, and resurrection. After confessing that and believing that in your heart with sincerely, when God sees us He no longer sees us as sinners but sees Christ in us, therefore rendering us perfect in His sight.
Jim Buford Sorry brother, I do not believe that is true. We need forgiveness everyday. See the verse below. And also Jesus doesnt just give us the template for how to pray in the Lords prayer, which includes asking for forgiveness, so that we would never have to pray like that again. Forgiveness is essential at the cross (redemption), in new birth, repentance, and belief (salvation) and on the road to Heaven (sanctification). We never stop needing forgiveness. We never stop needing grace. We never stop needing mercy. And the beauty is God never runs out of any of those things for his true children. By his Spirit in us, we need only ask (Psalm 51).
“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:8-10
1 John 1:8-9 "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
@@krissmork Absolutely true. But that is our situation prior to being born again. We confess and He forgives us and we are born again. John was replying to church leaders who were asking questions raised by the gnostics who believed they did not need to come to Christ the same as the rest of us for they had some special relationship and John was merely saying no, they have to come confessing and believing the same as everyone else. But still confessing is not the same as asking forgiveness. Forgiveness is not held in abeyance until we ask forgiveness but is our steady state once we become the righteousness of God in Christ. We do not lose that righteousness and sin and righteousness cannot coexist.
@@jimbuford4147 Who cares about what you specifically ask for, though? It says confess and you will be forgiven. "OH, but that's not asking for forgiveness!!!" Well... what's the difference. I say "I realize what I just did was sinful, and I am sorry lord, I want it gone and I ask that you teach me to not do the same again. Be merciful towards me, a sinner." Stop this foolish discussion, we all still make mistakes and stumble and need forgiveness for it. We cannot always act perfectly according to God's will, though that is the hope and what we aim for. May the Spirit increase, and I decrease, may Jesus be magnified in me, be it by life or death. Cheers brothers. God is merciful and just, he is patient so that all may come to repentance.
YALL DONT UNDERSTAND SALVATION,,,,,,,OUR SINS WAS TAKEN,,,,,,,GEEZ,,,,, PASTORS JUST TALK SIN,,,,,,,AND NOT THAT THEY WAS TAKEN,,,,,,,
Sin is rebellion against God we don't have to sin at all if we don't want to its a choice. We might make mistakes out of ignorance but that's why 1 John talks about sins not unto death Wich are accidental sins since we don't have all knowledge. You are either a sinner or a saint you can't sit both at the Lord's table and the table of demons the bible says
"Miskates out of ignorance" are still sins, you're just calling it a mistake.
True born again sons dont sin those sins unto death. Listed in Revelation. There are sins not unto death.
Any Christian can sin unto death if they do not remain in Christ.
K. Day, Timothy Seals is a false teacher, with a false gospel, who rejects the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. He just told you a lie, because he is a liar, like his father, the devil.
K Day, some people get offended when they hear the truth and get very angry and lash out. Others accept the truth with joy.
Please understand that a true Christian can fall away from grace if they do not remain in Christ. There are many warnings in scripture about this.
@@timothyseals3791 You are a liar, and a fraud, the Bible says no such thing, not even once, nor does it warn those in Christ of such nonsense, not even once. You have an evil, unbelieving heart, and you pervert God's word, just like every other false teacher. Here is what the Bible says, and it's not even close to what you claim...
The phrase "fallen from grace" appears one time, and it has nothing to do with anything you said. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, tells them that those who are justified by Law, have fallen from grace...
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Law; ye are fallen from grace." Gal 5:4
Why does Paul say this? Simple, because justification is by faith, not by the works of the Law.
"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." Gal 2:16
Those who are justified by Law cannot be justified by faith, so Paul tells them that it is a fall from grace when anyone is justified by Law. The context of this entire letter concerns the Judaizers who had seduced the Galatians into observing the Law by adding circumcision to the message of the gospel, just like you added to the gospel with your work of remaining in Christ to not fall from grace. Paul says that those who do what you just did, are preaching "another gospel" and are to be "accursed" (eternally damned". YOU will spend eternity separated from God, for you are without Christ and without hope.
Men are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, not by works.
As far as your attempt to pervert God's word by claiming that "Christians can fall away from grace, if they do not remain in Christ", the only time Jesus tells someone to "remain in Him" is in John 15, and then John exhorts his readers in his letters that those who confess that Jesus is the Christ remain (dwell) in God and God in them.
"Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in Him, and he in God." 1 John 4:15 KJV
"Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God." 1 John 4:15 NASB
This is a statement of fact, not a qualifier, as you suggest. You preach works based justification. Anyone who believes the gospel (you never have) remains in God and God remains in him. It's not optional.
In John 15, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, who are not yet indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that they should remain (abide), but this is also about the nation of Israel, as a whole, who will be cut-off if they do not accept Him as the Christ (see Rom 11). You are conflating many different things, because you do not comprehend anything the Bible says, so you create your own false narrative in order to deceive and deflect from the truth.
You are to be accursed.
in my own experience as a believer, God never lets me continue to sin very long. For instance i once put into place moderate safe guard measures for porn. This created a barrier, a wall that i could not cross easily. But in my sin and addiction my flesh found ways around this and I continued to look as things. softer in tone but still accessible. Then i started finding ways to get back into harder stuff. it was partially blocked but not completely. This lasted a couple months until the conviction swelled up so much that my mind kept going back to Christ words of "plucking out your eye." So i decided to take a bigger harsher absolute all or nothing stand. i found a way to block EVERYHING. in doing so, i have zero access to the internet on my devices except my PC at home, which is a work PC so i wouldn't ever look there. SO on my devices i don't have access to internet browsers, nor can i download an app nor can i search anything. The most i can do is watch Netflix, Facebook, text and call and read my Tecarda Bible. Thats it. not even Facebook chat is installed because it introduced issues as well. God would not let me continue and i was presented with a serious choice. abandon this or die.
once i removed ALL access, it was like throwing the Ring into the fire from LOTR. a weight lifted but with a costly worldly price. Its a perfect wall and shield. Im probably going to remove Netflix as well since there is no doubt filth on there with access. Scripture led me here. Living in this sin while being a believer isn't easy under the weight of conviction. Its pretty much impossible. It's so bad it made me feel unsaved for periods of time. I feel Free now. I feel loved. I feel as if he is proud of me but i know its what he wants because he says it in scripture. If your truly saved, God will give you a heart of flesh and this heart of flesh will desire God and eventually lead you off all addiction and the practice of sin but YOU MUST prevent access. This is not a work. It's a command.
Amen. Ditch the Netflix.
@@michaellemmen and hulu. Its all garbage.
If professing Christians are truly born again, they are not at all tempted by the foolish things those entrapped by the power of sin are suffering! The transformed follower of Jesus only feels sorry for those who don't yet have what s/he does!
Of course, religion, especially Churchianity, has a strong tendency to claim all sorts of behaviors are "sinful" when, in fact, they are not...only to turn around and commit actual sins, which are those actions (or sometimes inactions) that result in hurting people or callously ignoring their suffering!
Leading a sinful life, that is, a life in which one hurts others and/or is callous toward the suffering of others, is the most miserable way to live! A sinful, selfish life, is a delusion! Trampling over others to achieve gain of some sort, whether it's for money or power or fame, etc., never satisfies!
That's why people who already have a lot of money, power or fame always want more, more, more! Their souls are empty and hurting others/not helping the needy to fill up one's inner void with the things the world has to offer never works!
God is saddened by the ways we humans hurt each other and, because He loves EVERYONE, much as He hates the bad things we do, His desire is that we stop hurting each other to experience the joy of leading lives of doing good and helping the suffering!
As far as what most of the Jews of Jesus' day believed about the Last Age--a restored, literal, independent, theocratic nation of Israel, beginning with a violent liberation from Rome in Judea, by a special man God would send to lead them to victory, the Messiah--let's face it, it didn't happen, certainly not within the timeframe Jesus predicted (before his generation passed away) HIS Kingdom would begin to spread from Judea to all the rest of the world...but the reason is because HE was not the EXPECTED Messiah!
Jesus disagreed with his fellow Jews, even his own disciples, who wanted so badly for HIM to be the military king they wanted to seize the Throne of David! He was very careful about letting people know what he really thought about the "Kingdom of God," but he frequently alluded to it. For example, every time he or his disciples healed someone, he wanted the people looking on to hear, "The Kingdom has come close to you!" That would have been a very odd thing to say if he thought the "Kingdom of God" was going to be a literal government, on earth, with Jerusalem as its capital!
But Jesus finally did come out and explain what HE thought the Kingdom was and where it would be located--a "kingdom" in the hearts of PEOPLE (Luke 17:20-21)!
Sadly, after his death, his followers continued to see him as the Expected Messiah, waiting for him to return with an angelic army to wipe out the Romans and all their collaborators.
Worse, toward the end of the First Century, when Gentiles took over the Church, they REALLY failed to get Jesus! They took him for a new god that would give their souls a free ticket to the Elysian Fields, the place in Greek Mythology that seemed to them very similar to the Jewish God's home--Heaven.
However, an in depth and unbiased examination of the Canonical Gospels reveals what Jesus was really all about--transforming individual lives, one at a time, from doing bad to doing good, and every time a person is "born again," s/he becomes one more addition to the real "Kingdom of God."

What is the sin of death??
Unrepented sin.
@@freespirit7450 if this is true that sin of death is unrepentant sin, does this mean we must ask for repentance for every sin committed to make sure our salvation is true? Is it a work on us to save ourselves by repenting?
@@Tylerbung1000 if ask repentance from every sin you do you’re self deceived
I wouldn't even waste my time arguing with someone who said they never sinned. Nobody's perfect - that's an obvious fact. People who think they're perfect are just insufferable hypocrites and know this.
What about scrupulosity?
I came over a guy. He said that he has been sinless for over a year. Is that possible?
How much of the year was he in a coma with the virus?
Please read 1 john in the bible.
Oh, pastor John, you couldn't be more wrong. I love you, but Christ is more powerful than my sin, not the other way around. No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen Him or known Him. You call out your own false faith with your rhetoric, and you worship the same false god, you call "Christ", that I did for 42 years before He put me on my face before Him. When Jesus saved me from sin, He placed His pure white robes on my shoulders and though I may begin to fall, He is faithful to catch me before I impact the mud (sin), because He will not allow me to stain His robes with sin. Because I occupy this earthly body, I am still in sin, and I will meet all the earthly consequences of my sin. Namely, I will face temptation, suffering, blunder and eventually death, but none of those things will ever blossom into sin ever again, because I serve a God that is more powerful than sin. So, whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. This means a habitual falsehood or blasphemy that slips past my lips before I realize the correct path is a trial, that we are called to overcome, but it does not become a sin until the wrong path is chosen, and with Christ's will within me, He will ALWAYS keep me on the narrow path. Jesus saved me from the eternal consequences of sin, and He does this by miraculously keeping His robe on my shoulders pure by catching me before, right before, I choose the wrong thing the moment I KNOW it's wrong.
If you just peck someone on the lips with no lustful thought or sexual intentions is that a sin🤔 please help The Most High Bless you

Jesus died for all sin. To be born again we must fist repent of sin and believe that Jesus died on the cross was buried and rose again for our sins
Mark 1:15
The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Acts 2:38
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 20:21
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH (believe) toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 26:20
First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.
2 Cor 7:9-10
Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.
Godly sorrow brings REPENTANCE THAT LEADS TO SALVATION and leaves no regret, but worldly SORROW BRINGS DEATH.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
It's not legalizm as false teachers claim, as those scriptures say its a requirement for salvation.
You're forgivin by first humbling yourself by acknowledging your sins and making a decision of the heart and mind to turn away from sin (Repent) only then will God grant the gift of faith to truly believe
that Jesus died on the cross was buried and rose again for the punishment we deserve for sin.
To believe is faith produced by repentance.
The Apostle John in 1 John makes it clear when believers sin those sins must be confessed and forgiveness asked for.

Lots of arrogant people in the comments who imply that because they are Christians, they are 100% sinless, spotless, pure like snow and completely free of any transgression. Wow! Arrogance is overflowing! This video was published 6 years ago and the arrogant people in the comments have not committed a single sin in the last 6 years!
How is that arrogant? Piper even read the scripture himself- I'm surprised he doesn't understand it.
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us." 1 John 1 7-10
I think it's arrogant to think that you know better than God. God clearly says the the blood of Jesus washes us from ALL SIN. "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves" - I didn't sin today. I don't plan on sinning tomorrow. Am I deceiving myself? No, actually, I believe God's word. I am a Christian, therefore my sins have been washed clean. True Christians will never claim a perfectly sinless life, but that is not the same as post-conversion sinlessness. We have the ability to sin, and I have sinned post conversion, but casting a blanket statement such as 'we can never defeat sin' is just unbiblical. This passage is speaking past tense. Read it again.
@@michaellemmen Keep being the sinless, sacred and holy entity. See how long this will last. You are sinless today and sinful tomorrow. The day after tomorrow you will be sinless again. In a few days you will commit a sin. Keep calling yourself sinless.

I disagree. We are called to walk as Christ walks and to be blameless before others. If I am to be in Christ, and this in God, then there cannot be sin in me for there is no sin in Christ/God.
Remember, Christ said "If ye love me, keep my commandments." It's that simple.
No man can walk as Christ walked.
I totally agree he said go and sin no more there isn't one sin we are forced to commit it's our choice to love him or rebel against him
@@anthonyleone3456 amen!
@Loriane it's an unobtainable goal in this life. But still something we should work towards. Jesus is perfect, we have no chance of being perfect in this life.
You keep his commandments because you love him not to help out your salvation. There is no way ever that you in this life you cannot sin. Because in the law, if you commit one sin you are guilty of all of them. You should keep God's commandments because it demonstrates your change and that your actually saved, plus will lead you a better life. But you just following the commandments doesn't exactly save you. Because sometimes you don't know you sin, or you struggle with sin. That perfection is an unattainable goal in this life. It only really becomes a reality in heaven. If we could reach perfection now then we wouldn't need Christ. It is truly by him we are saved because no matter what you do whether saved or not. No action can justify you enough. It's much easier to be blameless before others. It's a lot harder to br blameless before God and to be blameless when your alone. All honor and glory be to God! We should strive to be on fire for God living a life that he is pleased with of course. If we don't we could become cold and loose our way to what our real purpose is. That we can keep that relationship with God cause that is all we got!
So, when Jesus said go and sin no more you make him a trickster with YOUR personal interpretation... your view is the definition of having a form of godliness but denying the power there of. I'm saying this in love and correction so if you put a hateful inflection on my words that is not from me. I trust that Jesus can keep me from all unrighteousness because he has the power to do so after all what fellowship does have dark with light. The message presented is a direct contradiction to the point of the bible saying that you cant walk the fence. Who you serve is your master either sin unto death or Jesus unto life.
I appreciate your want to correct and help, so I return the favour.
"Go and sin no more". And she never told another lie, got angry with her sister or friend or neighbour, never did something without faith, never gave into a temptation to lust, greed, hate, envy? No. I'm sure she gave it her best though, and by the help and power of God's Holy Spirit saw salvation through Jesus, the One who defends us in the face of God's judgement. 1 John 1:8-9 "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.". We confess our sins and are made clean. We repent and yes, we are not to repeat our past transgressions. However, there is hope when we fall as we read in 1 John 2: "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."
Also, how many times does Jesus tell us to forgive our brother? Seven times seventy in a day? How can we forgive our brother if he does not sin? Or does this apply only to our unsaved friends and family, and we are not to forgive our brothers in Christ? I doubt that. I'm sure you've read Paul's letters? There are many examples from his letters where he guides us on how to treat a sinning brother in the church. He says that if we confront our brother, and he repents, we have given him life! Praise God.
Here is the trick, as I see it: There is a difference between falling in sin and walking in them - while maybe even saying they're not sins! There is a difference between losing a fight to the darkness without wanting to, and walking in it. To put it poetically: A walk is farther than a step, dear friend.
You know as well as me that you still fall from time to time. Confess rather than betray yourself by saying you didn't sin! May God be merciful and forgive you when you earnestly confess and have your sins washed away by the blood of Jesus. I pray your walk in the Spirit is strengthened every day and last a lifetime, brother, continuing as you enter eternity, amen. Much love.
@@krissmork even in the scripture you quote you miss it... "if" not "when": if we sin we have an advocate. In first john chapter two it says if we say we follow Him(Christ) but do not keep His commands we are liars and there is no truth in us. Remember scripture says liars shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven and Jesus is the way the TRUTH and the life. Now it says if we say we have not sinned... have not sinned or have no sin is different from sin no more. I have sinned, I sin no more is a correct statement. But walking on the sin side of the fence and claiming to walk with Christ. I know that many will struggle with this and deny Christ's power who bought them but there are reasons why scriptures like be yeah perfect as your father in heaven is perfect exist. Those who don't understand myst ignore or explain these away.
@@jeffroberts2934 I believed that there would be no fight against sin because of the victory of Jesus when I chose to accept the gift of faith and fellowship with Jesus as Lord, but I was proven wrong. There's a war between Spirit and flesh. The carnal does show itself every single day, and I pray for it to die as it does. I am not fooled, my friend. You do not walk perfectly. If you think your walk is perfect, you don't realize the purity and holiness of God's standard - and there is none who is good but God.
I hope you confess soon. Denial will not help cleanse you, just like saying "there is no battle here" on a battlefield will not make the enemy leave you be. The armour we are to put on is to be used.
You ignored my points about Paul's writings and Jesus commanding us to forgive our brother.
I am not supportive of sin. I hate sin. Christians all over the world should be ashamed, and many are decieved. Sinning against the Lord is no small matter, and it should not be taken lightly. Sin leads to death.
One man bragged before God. Another said "God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" Who walked away justified? Jesus says: "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
@@krissmork I understand your misunderstanding... but I HAVE NOT said I am without sin. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But I also recognize that the bible says Jesus is faithful to complete the work he has begun in us. I let God do the work in me and remember it is said "resist the devil and he will flee from you." And when it comes to accusing others of sin remember there is one who accuses the brethren. As a simple recommendation I would point to scripture, as I have done, and let the holy spirit correct. So, by that I dont accuse, however others feel convicted when their conscious and the spirit of God places pressure on them. I have not ignored your points I pointed out "if" to you. For example: if you eat bread it will help sustain you. Does this mean you will eat bread, you won't eat bread or the fact that you have the option? Anyone who is being honest will see that this means you have the option to eat bread or not... in the same way the bible says -if we sin we know that we have an advocate.(not when) So, you can be corrected and Jesus can perfect his work in you. This addresses the correcting a brother because, like a child being corrected, if they repent you have gained a brother. Once again "if". I don't wish to argue with you if you are not correctable, so, I will not respond further. I hope you go back to scripture and realize what it says. Know I do not have to ignore be ye perfect/holy or sin no more because when scripture is understood it all flows in the same direction.
@@jeffroberts2934 I do not feel convicted, sorry. I was into all that before and have been led away from it as it is obviously faulty. I don't mean to accuse you, but I am certain that you still sin. The Word even says that he who knows about something good to do, but doesn't do it, sins. I'm okay with sou saying its theoretically possible to walk without sin from here on out. I just don't expect a human to manage it, even with God's help, because God doesn't ever take away our will.
If you want to believe you do not sin anymore, okay. Just be sure to confess and repent when, yes when, you do. We all make mistankes, let us not stay in them. The standard is to love God with all your heart, mind, strength and your neighbour as yourself in every situation of your life, in every minute of the day. There is no off-time. Oh well, I guess I just found the first perfect man I've ever met, on youtube. Haha.
Good luck, I pray the Spirit will lead us both, and I hope this understanding of yours doesn't lead you astray. Remember, IF you have committed any small og big sin (yes, even if you looked with lust for a second, or joked about something you shouldn't, or felt pride about how sinless you are) and do not confess it as sin, you make God a liar.
