NASB | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God's seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again--who is reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him. |
Bible Question: After you get saved, can you make it to heaven if you live the life you want to live? |
Bible Answer: Greetings god chaser; After having already become saved, we will desire to do our Heavenly Father's will, and the Biblical promise for these is that they "shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" But we cannot know our Father's will if we negelect to daily spend time alone with God in prayer, and in His word. Matt. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Blessings New Creature |
