1 John 5:18 NKJV

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

1 John 5:18 NKJV

John shares here that whoever is born of God does not sin. That is not what the majority of born-again believers have experienced.

This is because we do not really know fully what we have received from our Lord Jesus. When our knowledge of what we have from God is limited, it limits us from living to our full capacity.

Born-again children of God are blessed with God-consciousness, which when cultivated brings about a sinless life.

We have the life of Christ in us. Since Christ lived a sinless life, so can we by living conscious of Him. Christ has given us the power to overcome every sin.

The important part is that we who are born again have to keep ourselves in Christ; therefore, every plan and plot of the enemy will not take effect on our lives.

We need to remain in Christ and have our being in Him. This is our protection from the evil one. The provision of protection is in Christ.

We have a responsibility to keep our mind and heart on the things of God. God has made those provisions for us in Christ, and to be in Him is to have everything He had when He walked the earth.

The wicked one simply cannot touch us because we have no open doors for the enemy to come in through sin. We keep ourselves from sin.

Living a victorious life in Christ means a lot of things, which includes living without sin.

Let us see ourselves as Christ has made us to be, living victoriously every day as we know our rights as children of God.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
