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: if a person was once saved and sinned before they die and didn't yet ask for forgiveness before passing does that mean they are going to hell?

Bible Answer: Dear Amanda,

Sin is "any lack of conformity, active or passive, to the moral law of God." Notice that it isn't just doing something wrong, but also failing doing what is right, or failing to do good perfectly. More than that, it is failing to conform to perfection. How would any of us be able to confess our every sin, even if we could list them? We know that any of this sin, merits always one thing from a holy God: eternal death (Romans 6:23).

The debt of our sin is weighty no matter who we are. There are only two possibilities: Either we pay the debt, or Christ pays the debt. Now think about it carefully: If Christ does not pay the debt of all our sin -- past, present, and future -- who would ever be saved?

In Him, Doc
