In this frequently asked question (FAQ) in the bible, we are going to answer the question: what is born of God cannot sin

But before we answer it, let us first and foremost outline the bible verse where we derived this FAQ.

Bible verse about born of God cannot sin.

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

1 John 3:9-10.

Meaning of born of God cannot sin.

Born of God cannot sin simply means that those who have repented and accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior have automatically become the children of God, and in so doing no longer continue in sin; as the 2 scriptures below affirm:

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

John 1: 9-12.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17.

The old thing that has gone away from a new creation is the tendency to sin.

How to overcome sin and remain a born of God.

We all need to have the ability to overcome sin if we truly want to remain the children of God.

And how can we overcome sin?

The answer is found in the scripture below.

I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.

Ezekiel 36:27-28.

And to receive the Holy Spirit, you must hearken to the words of Peter below.

Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 2:38-39.
