1 John 3:6

1 John 3:6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning


This one made me think, "No one who lives in him keeps on sinning" I went back and read it 2 or 3 times! I believe I live 'in Christ', so does that mean that I don't sin? I don't think so! Does it mean that when I sin, I am no longer 'in Christ? again, I don't think so! My take on this is based on a revelation that I had about a year ago; When Christ died on that cross he bore our sins, once and for ALL. I believe ALL means not only for ALL times but ALL the sins of the world.  ALL our sins are forgiven; past, present and future. Once I committed my life to Christ and asked his forgiveness I am 'in Christ', no matter what. I asked and through Him I received the free gift of salvation; He purifies me so that I may be presented to God pure and blameless. Our sins are already forgiven and all we have to do is ask him into our hearts and we become part of his family...... eternally! WOW
