Bible Question: What does "remaining in Him" really mean? |
Bible Answer: 1Jo 3:9 every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten The above is "Young's Literal Translation", and as far as I am aware gives the correct interpretation of what John intended his readers to understand. I see no problem with this verse as I believe it to refer to the new nature that all christians have, and the new nature cannot sin, however, we all still retain the old nature as well, and that cannot do anything but sin. Paul recognized this problem, and describes it in some detail in Romans 7:14-25. His conclusion is "So then with the mind (the new nature) I myself serve the law of God, but with my flesh (the old nature) the law of sin". I trust this will be of help to you. ebrain. |
