Born of God
The Apostle John writes,
“But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.
No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.” 1 John 3:5-10.
Here John points out the “No one who lives in him keeps on sinning...”
As believers in Christ we do our best not to sin. To live a life acceptable to Christ, acceptable to God. A believer in Christ does not deliberately sin.
John warns believers in Jesus not to be let astray. John states,
“He who does what is sinful is of the devil...”
John states,
“This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.”
If we are truly followers of God, children of God we will desire to do what is right at all times. The apostle Paul states,
Please think about it.

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22,23.
