A willful transgression of Christ's law (disobedience) 1 John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law" (Christ's law!) James 4:17 "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin”

John 8:21 If you "... die in your sins, whither I go you cannot come” Hebrews 12:14 "Follow... holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” Sin will separate you from God Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you...” Sin causes Spiritual Death Ezekiel 18:4 "... The soul that sinneth, it shall die” James 1:15 "... And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death...”

Salvation through Jesus Christ! Matthew 1:21 "... He shall save his people from their sins” (notice: "from", not "in") Acts 4:10-12 “... Neither is there salvation in any other... "

There is no such thing as a "sinning Christian;" Christians don't sin. John 8:34 "... Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” 1 John 3:6 “Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him” 1 John 3:8-9 “He that committeth sin is of the devil... Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin” Jesus commanded us NOT to sin: John 8:11 To the adulterous woman – “... go, and sin no more” John 5:14 To the impotent man –“... sin no more, lest a worst thing come unto thee"

See all of Romans 6 Romans 6:1-2 “... Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid...” Romans 6:22 “But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life”

Through faith, repentance, and godly sorrow Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” Proverbs 28:13 “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” 2 Corinthians 7:10 "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation... but the sorrow of the world worketh death”

1 Peter 1:14-16 “... Be ye holy; for I am holy” Titus 2:11-12 “... Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world” Luke 1:74-75 That we might “... serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life”

Psalms 29:2 “... Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness”
