Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 1 John 3:9
“If you know that God is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him. But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him, there is no sin. No one who remains in God keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen God or known God.”
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creation. James 1:18
“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities, and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” John 3:3,4
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. They are reborn, not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God”.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7
I will make known the Lord’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the Lord has done for us, the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion. Isaiah 63:7
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! Ephesians 2:4
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. Romans 6:14
For at one time, we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, being hated, and hating one another. but when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3
Order my steps in Your word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it. Genesis 4:7
“Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. If we allow sin to control the way we live, we will give in to sinful desires.”
Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:16
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness Romans 6:13
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life is not from the Father, but it is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2
