Do Christians sin?

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:13-14)

Question: Do Christians sin?

Absolutely no. There is no Scripture where Christian sins. He cannot sin. I know there’s resentment toward that. Well, we’ll just go to I John 3 and see what the Scripture says. A Christian does not sin.

Did you ever see a black-white bird or a white blackbird? Did you ever see a drunk sober man? No. You never did see a sinner saint either. There’s no such thing.

Now, if this gets just a little touchy, you just put a lot of balms in, you know, and it’ll cure up just in a little bit now.

Now, the Scriptures are our absolutely, infallible proofs of what we are speaking of. I John 3rd chapter and the 9th verse. All right, listen to this.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Listen, are you ready? Got your jackets on, the armor all buckled up? Listen close, ’cause this is shocking.

Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin;… (How’s that?)… for his seed… (His seed: God’s)… remaineth in him:… (the man)… and he cannot sin, because he’s bored of God.

In this, the children of God are made manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

How can you have denominations and draw barriers and things like that, and say you’re born of God? No such thing. It’s a mock of Satan. That’s right. But a man that’s born of God cannot sin; it’s impossible for him to sin.

No more sin, the sin question’s settled. That’s the reason sin looks so dirty to a Christian. That’s why women out here with these shorts on look so dirty to a Christian. That’s why vulgarity; that’s a lot of dirty things; that’s why smoking, drinking, gambling, all these uncensored programs on television, all that stuff seems filth. Why? You’re of a different Kingdom. You’re born into the Kingdom of God and sealed by the Holy Ghost until the day of your redemption.

He that’s born of God commits no sin, for he can’t sin. The seed of God is in him, and he cannot sin. As long as that Holy Ghost is in there, He takes every desire of sin away from you. Amen. You can’t sin; there’s no more desire.
