Once born of God, one cannot abide in sin (make it a comfortable habit) because of the Holy seed in that child of God. I know Christians sin, but just not able to make it a comfortable habit.

Iamisabad, Cutting your self just hurts & doesn't pay for your sin. Jesus blood does, because he is the sacrifice without blemish. Meaning He was without sin (born of a virgin without sin nature). He was tempted like the first Adam but overcame that old snakes deception. If He had sinned, He couldn't have been the Unblemished Lamb of God. The OT sacrificial lamb had to be without blemish. The righteous has to die for the unrighteous.

Grandreal, When a person is born of God, person becomes a child of God. The Holy seed is in new child of God. It is the free gift of eternal life & not by works. Person cannot abide in sin because of the Holy seed, the new spiritual birth. Also inherits the Kingdom of God. We cant abide in sin because of the Holy Seed.
So I don't call myself a sinner. I sin, but when God convicts my heart in an area, I confess my sin & He is just to forgive me my sin & cleanse me from all unrighteousness. He is responsible to make me right. May not be pleasant experience for me, but it is a growing & maturing process.

Mumluvshe, Conscience & the Holy Spirit are two different things. Everyone is born with a conscience when born into this world. Everyone has seen the light of Christ. The Holy Seed is given to people born siritually & is in addition to conscience & heals conscience where abuse has happened to it.
Conscience can be seared with a hot iron. In that case, it is hard to humble self as a child & accept / confess Jesus Christ into ones life.

He is no longer a sinner in God's eyes, but as long as he is in the flesh, he will sin from time to time, but should not abide (continue without conscious) in sin.

You are born a sinner a remain a sinner. you are right, though about not being able to abide in sin. The Holy Spirit.. otherwise known as our conscience... does not allow it. You are be tormented until you repent. Sinning and not abiding in sin are two seperate things. I hope this helps

Yes, your right. We won't be perfect until we get to heaven, but sin should not have dominion over us anymore. If we walk in the light as He is in the light, you have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from ALL sin.

lesson on SIN from a man who studied romans and bible and law
write SIN in times new roman font:
the S has a little \ above the top end. and that hides a il so see;
S=Sil
I=I
N=IV stitched together
so SIN=Sil I IV stitched together
why is that SIN?
two reasons:
it was a crime in europe for a long time to hurt any thing German.
its a SIN to hurt an orphan according to Ex. 22.22
So when i cut my wrists as a German and orphan it was SIN.
See iamabaddon's photo of His arm.
But in a way My shedding of blood might have cleared Me of past SINS cause without shedding of blood their can be no forgiveness of SIN. So don't hold My past against ME.
Perhaps emperor's earth in times new roman font holds my birthdate of 9 I7 up as an example of what not to do. ie SIN.

We were born sinners and remain sinners throughout this life. However, there is a difference in committing a sin, and living in unrepentant sin.

ROFLMAO
once saved always saved is FALSE!
Christ is for the law our sacrifice for sin!
To leave Christ is to no longer sacrifice, and the sins just pile up!

Repentence isn't a one time thing...it's a continual thing that you have to work and strive for every day. Endure to the End.

4 Steps To God
1. GOD LOVES YOU AND IS SEEKING TO HAVE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU
"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to remove the barrier of sin." (1 John 4:10)
God loves you and planned a wonderful, full life for you. He wants to enter a personal and intimate relationship with you that includes fellowship, inner peace, happiness, guidance in life and power to fulfill His special plan for your life.
2. SIN HAS CREATED A BARRIER BETWEEN MAN AND GOD
“All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
GOD is Holy, and cannot have a relationship with anyone who falls short of His righteous character. Sin began when man went his own independent way and rejected his relationship with God. At that point, man became unacceptable to God’s Holy character.
The Ten Commandments were given to show us how good we would have to be if we try to come to God in our own merit. But God doesn’t grade our law-keeping on the curve. He said, “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” (James 2:10)
No matter how sincere we are, or how hard we try, or how religious we are, we can never produce a righteousness that God can accept. Even our good deeds are not acceptable in God’s sight, “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags …” (Isaiah 64:6)
So our sin has created a barrier that we cannot remove. Even though God loves you, He cannot compromise His holy character to receive you. Only God can remove this barrier.
3. JESUS CHRIST CAME TO REMOVE THE BARRIER BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
Jesus said of Himself, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28)
You see, God so loved us that He stepped out of eternity into time and became a man in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life as a man and thus qualified to die for the sins of the world. He then willingly died in our place to purchase a pardon for sins and satisfy the demands of His own perfect justice. When He did, He tore down the barrier of sin that separated us.
4. NOW THERE IS ONLY ONE BARRIER BETWEEN YOU AND GOD YOU MUST RECEIVE THE PARDON JESUS PURCHASED FOR YOU
Jesus Christ has removed every barrier that stood between you and God except one -- you must receive the pardon He purchased for you by an act of your will. You see, a pardon is not a pardon until it is received. There is a pardon with your name on it in heaven, but you must receive it to make it valid.
It is not a matter of how good you are -- or even how bad you are. The issue is, will you talk to God and tell him you receive the pardon he purchased for you. He wants you to come just as you are and confess you can never be good enough for Him to accept.
YOU can change your eternal destiny right now. Wherever you are, just bow your head and tell God you receive His pardon for your sins. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and begin to give you a new heart with new desires. He will come into your life and bring a new power and motivation for living you never dreamed possible.
Jesus gave us this invitation, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20) The door represents your will.
The Lord Jesus Christ is knocking at the door of your will right now. Just invite Him in and receive the gift of pardon He gave His life to give you. Then thank Him for the pardon and that He must keep His Word.
Don’t expect feelings right away. Some have them, some don’t. The important thing is to simply believe God keeps His Word and He now has come to live in you. Seek out a Church that is true to the Bible and seek to learn about your new life.
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Welcome to the forever family of God!
