Jesus tell us to sin no more.
Jesus gave His followers all kinds of instructions in how to live holy, righteous and godly lives. If we cannot sin, there would have been no reason for Jesus to give us any commands. That is just simple logic.
There is a message being spread that Christians cannot sin. This claim is not Biblical.
How do we avoid sinning? Simply put, if we obey His teachings and commandments, then we avoid sin. On the other hand if we ignore His teachings and commandments, we sin.
Reference:
John 5:14
New International Version (NIV)
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
John 8:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
John 8:34
New International Version (NIV)
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord |
