"Whosoever is Born of God Doth Not Commit Sin" 1 John 3 Explained

A person can be saved without understanding the dual nature of the believer, but a correct understanding of overall scripture cannot be learned without this foundational understanding. Thanks for teaching such an important lesson while keeping it short enough that people might listen!

[@Ruben27780]

@@scriptureplz9045I wouldnt really call it a “dual nature”. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 Paul states that we have become New Creatures in Christ and the old has passed away. Our old nature (it’s gone) no longer has complete power over us . In saying that, what we do have is our mind that remembers our old nature and hasnt been perfectly transformed yet, thats why Paul wants us to renew our minds and we do that with Gods word. Basically before we got saved we trained our minds in the likeness of the fleshly desires and of sin, so it will take time to undo all that as we learn to spiritually grow and mature and let the Holy Spirit work in us. Our minds still have sinful habits that we need to work on towards becoming more like Christ and so our bodies that arent made perfect yet will still sin and give in from time to time. Any thoughts?

When I was eight, I got saved...the next day I did something wrong, and guess what....I thought I was unsaved. I bet I was saved and unsaved 20 times (probably more lol)before I was eighteen, and finally gave up. I gave up on it all. I went to church some, but just set there, knowing what good was it for me...Because I knew I would sin again. I finally decided to wait 1 minute until I died, and then maybe I would go to Heaven. Lol Praise God, 30 years later, I became ill. I've been close to death several times, even now, But God.....He led me to, True Men of God, that knew their Bible. I was astounded, I just couldn't believe that God would give us, such a gift, and shower us with his grace, like he has. God has used something that is bad (illness) to show me the way to him. The greatest gift, I have ever been given. I often wonder what my life would have been like, had I known the truth of the Gospel. Sidenote: I can never remember, turning to the Epistles on Sunday. I can never ever remember going through a book of the Bible, chapter by chapter,. One verse from the Bible = Whole Sermon. We never knew what the Bible meant, in context, who it was talking to, or if it was before or after the Cross.

I had a moment similar raised "christian" and found out im queer among other things. I realized i beleive the exact date was feb 28th or 29th of 2009. i said a pray that I leave it in their hands i cant change what i am or lie about it to myself family and them. so i was gonna live my life and hope they would not send me to hell if i one day found my man to love. if it was not good for adam to be alone how is it good for lgbt folks we dont choose who we are only actions and where is it just or rightous for us to spend our lives alone with out that kinda love. But my point is that my father in heaven and my one day husband Jesus never forsaken me they always had my back and made sure i survived things i wouldnt have otherwise. they showed me scripture that affirmed who i am and their love for me. i love to hear or read about peoples true experience that caused them to realize they are his

​​@@Raf-c2y... Our spirit becomes perfect because we are sealed by the Holy Spirit what we struggle is our soul. The soul is our fleshly mind, thoughts, heart.

This is amazing man! I've been struggling with this for a while now, asking God to direct me on how to resolve the dual nature within myself.

That little seed of doubt spawns into this awful self loathing that ultimately would make me turn away from God in self imposed disgrace.

[@CatzlovichCatnipAndCabbages]

I'm sure there are many people like me who were saved at a young age and are now struggling with sin, I hear these verses in 1 John and I get scared, how can I still be drawn to sin if I truly got saved? Then I wonder: "Well, how could I have been deceived all this time if my faith and trust has been in the Lord?" The Lord called me to salvation at the age of 12, the Lord does not call someone for no reason, I felt the draw of the Holy Spirit calling me to Christ on the day that I got saved, I prayed and asked Jesus to save me because He called me to do so. I didn't pray because the preacher instructed me to do so, I didn't pray in order to get attention from the people in attendance, I prayed because I knew in my heart that I needed to pray and ask Jesus to save me. So, then I go back to thinking: "Well why would God call me to be saved and then cause me to question my salvation all these years later?" The answer is that the Lord would not do that, the devil is our accuser, when we give in to the lusts of out flesh and we sin the devil is right there waiting to accuse us of not genuinely believing in Christ, telling us that if we were truly saved then we would not have committed the sin that we just did. This is where satan's accusations backfire because satan is not going to accuse someone of sin who doesn't truly believe in Christ, those who claim to believe but do not truly believe are free to live however they want because they are not believers in Christ, they do not know Him and He does not know them, the devil does not attack those people because they are already where the devil wants them to be, true Christians who have a relationship with the Lord are who satan seeks to make miserable because there is nothing that the devil can do to believers anymore other than try to rob them of their joy and peace in the Lord.

The root of what they believe doesn't matter because proof of salvation is based on their good works? Sanctification for new believers is not an overnight process.

The Gospel is that 2000 years ago the only begotten Son of the Living God came down to earth as a man, born in the womb of a virgin by the power of the Holy Spirit. This Man, whose name is Jesus, lived a perfect, sinless life, He was crucified on the cross and three days after His crucifixion He rose again defeating death, hell and the grave for every man, woman and child who is willing to put their faith and trust in Him and what He did.

You expounded this truth perfectly! As C. H. Spurgeon put it the sin nature is just as vile as it ever was after receiving the new nature upon being born of God, but the new nature must be nurtured and grow as one increases faith through learning the truths of scripture and walking in the Spirit. There are believers who believe they have been rejected by God because the old nature is still there. Romans seven is rarely taught because some believe people may use it as an excuse to sin. However, God commands teaching the entire Word! Again Spurgeon addresses this by saying more harm is done by not teaching certain scripture than we will ever know unless God reveals it to us. Sorry for the "rant". God bless you for your hard work and faithfulness! "Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.". - Galatians 5:16.

Very true and accurate.. This is so powerful.. Those who belong to Christ have crucified their sinful nature.. If we still struggle in Sin it's mostly because we are lazy to do even the very basic spiritual needs of our life daily.

Word says those who are thirsty let him come and drink.. Not every one.. Let us get right with God.. So that His whisper will be loud and clear to us..

Romans 8.11) How does this work? Paul continues, saying, "So then brothers, we are debtors--not to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if BY THE SPIRIT you PUT TO DEATH the deeds of the body, you will live. (Now GET THIS)... For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God" (Romans 8.13-14) So here, the apostle Paul qualifies just WHO the sons of God are, & WHO are NOT sons of God. Namely, if you are walking in the flesh & NOT "putting to death the deeds of the body, by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within you," then you are NOT sons of God. Likewise, Paul tells the Galatians, "Now those who belong to Christ Jesus/Yeshua have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires" (Galatians 5.24) The apostle John writes, "My little children, these things I write unto you that you may not sin. And if any man sind, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus/Yeshua Christ the righteous; He is the propitiation for our sins--and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world" (1 John 2.1-2) Of course, when we sin (& we all do) we can go to our 'advocate' Jesus/Yeshua, where we can "confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1.9). Truly, "He is our merciful and faithful high priest," "Who can sympathize with our weaknesses," "one who has been tempted in all things--just as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 2.17; 4.15) HalluluYah! Agape❤, Grace & Peace

Amen & Thank You !!!

[@177Jeremiah7]

Amen brother! Great teaching showing the contrast between "he that sinneth (the sin nature, the flesh) VS he that sinneth not (The New Nature, the Righteous Nature). The dual nature of the Believer is surely a foundational doctrine which must be understood if a Christian is going to understand the Bible. Especially the book of 1 John. The New Man is born of God and born of the word of God (The King James Bible). Therefore the New Man does not Sin and Cannot Sin. Just as God and His word (The King James Bible) does not Sin and Cannot Sin. Now of course, every Christian Still sins. In thought, word and deed. And when a Christian does Sin, it is because he yielded to his old, carnal nature. That's all that is. If a Christian was yielded to the Holy Spirit 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, then that Christian would never sin again. But no Christian is yielded to the Holy Spirit 24 hours a day. Every Christian eventually yields to his old Sin nature, and hence, they sin. The sin nature can only do that which is contrary to God's law and word. The sin nature can only produce bad and corrupt fruit. The New Nature (Inner Man) can only do that which is good, Holy and right. Just as God and His word (The King James Bible) can only do that which is good, just, Holy and Right. Keep up the great work brother Norm! You are an encouragement to the body of Christ and your channel and teachings a great help!

Free grace homie you know what’s up

[@keeshlon]

Nice and clear. Thank you!

[@bradmontgomery5575]

I’ve noticed that in the short time I’ve been walking with the Lord my mind has been peaceful and sound but since sin does more easily creep in through the heart or the flesh. Sometimes it’s the wrath of the heart, that anger that can pop up so easily and the mind starts picturing violence, gratifying the heart but the mind will quickly recognize what’s happening and I’ll think “Oh Lord I don’t know you, I’ve become the heart of the murderer so quickly” and will my spirit of anger want to feed more, my mind is a bit more free and I’m able analyze what led up to it. The mind becomes the movie theater for those thoughts, powered by that reaction of the flesh, while the mind is also where we control and regulate. Our change of mind can advance from not only going “Lord that is bad, how did I get lost so quickly?” But we can get a really good look at things, should time allow. Sometimes are reactions to things may be stronger than we’d expect, that maybe past trauma or maybe some fear or something else we haven’t looked at, but because God gives a sound mind we can redirect our mind and our spirit. We can be in the middle of a fight and just pause and listen for the calm, God’s spirit is like sitting besides a babbling brook. Sounds of our flesh can feel like a raging river or worse, but if we stop and listen for the still quiet voice, punches and kicks, can turn into hugs.

love your videos💗

[@michaelholley2976]

This is my teacher of the word.

[@Keith-hz9zd]

And it also says that everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure .

[@bobwreck3775]

I just wish you would have mentioned that some find themselves sinning after believing and think they are not saved. That is not true as they are still saved but walking in the flesh. This is very important as a new comer might think they are headed to hell until they understand once saved always saved.

[@OnoDiamante]

I’ll definitely cover this subject in the future!

[@michaelcross2892]

What you said is true, Bob. It happens to every single one of us sooner or later, usually sooner. We can’t help it (sin). Our Father knows this, yes I agree with you 100%. OSAS, FACT!… Otherwise who can be saved? Not one of us🙏🏻 Praise be to Abba, our Father. He is awesome🙏🏻❤️

[@rice0047]

Nice analysis!

[@Soberfacecards]

@onodiamante I’m so thankful for your videos!

[@OnoDiamante]

Thanks for watching!

[@AdamJoseph1352]

@OnoDiamante How should I reply to my pastor who states it is unbiblical to say we shouldn't look at our works to determine genuine faith? Here is what he said. You pointed out in your letter, the Apostle John said he wrote so that people would know that they have eternal life. So any question, according to many who adhere to the doctrine of Free Grace, that might cause someone to doubt / question their salvation is problematic. The issue is that the same guy also wrote: “This is how we have to come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has this world’s goods and sees a fellow believer in need but withholds compassion from him - how does God’s love reside in him? Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth. This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows all things. Dear friends, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive whatever we ask from him because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight. Now this is his command: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, AND love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps his commands REMAINS in him, and he in him. And the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit he has given us.” 1 John 3:16-24 Thus, John tells the believers that it is possible for them to know and reassure their hearts by examining their actions, namely, how they love and care for one another. It is important to distinguish here that the Apostle John is writing to believers, those who have already trusted in / believed upon the Lord Jesus. Yet, to these believers, John writes and gives them instructions on how they can know they “belong to the truth.”

[@rositabarba4367]

Amen 🙏

[@thomaskishmanii2675]

Christ showed us The Way by crucifying the Flesh. Christ leads The Way he is truly The First Fruit. God Bless You Sir. T

[@doublev1454]

What about 1 John 1 verses 5-10? “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” ‭‭ How do you reconcile this with the free grace belief?

[@gdobsessed]

was wondering the same thing. We are called to practice truth through the grace we received through faith by the power of the Holy Spirit. Grace will empower us to see evidence of change and a new birth.

[@free0234]

This again is the teachings of Discipleship... This is the process of Sanctification (becoming more like Christ) also eludes to abiding in the vine and producing good fruit. The fruit is for the lost that sees our new Christian life and walk so they can come to the Truth; the fruit is not for us and our assurance of salvation. Believing on him and Abiding in Him are too different Doctrines.

[@halcyon289]

A M E N That was so good.

[@chadbarber6072]

Excellent

[@davidjp7197]

That same John also wrote, if we confess our sins.....and if we say that we have no sin...

[@SarieDeeann]

Hey man I love your channel! Please explain 1 John 1:9!

[@traesaint9328]

Theres Gods own salvation Gods own Grace Gods own work Gods own commandments and Gods own fruits Gods own Keeping the Law and Gods own producing and acting the fruits! “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ all glory and merit goes to God!!!

[@FaithinJesusisimportant]

One problem is that people are stubborn. Most people delight in unrighteousness. Most people are unsaved. God hasn't given them a hunger and thirst for righteousness. What does God want unsaved people to do? He wants them to seek Him. Earnestness and wholeheartedness is what is needed. Searching in the right place is what is needed. The New Testament is the right place to search for God. Say yes to God, the teacher, for He can increase your level of interest in Him.

[@boofdaclown7866]

Not making this distinction prevents so many from understanding their sin nature, how that no matter how much they try to perfect the flesh it will never maintain or earn them salvation.

[@jsbc1988]

The Old Sin nature was Circumcised by hands not of flesh :Colossians 2:11. The dual nature is our physical bodies that are influenced by the 5 senses . Man the sinner was crucified (declared dead) Galatians 2:20, 5:24 Sin nature removed Colossians 2:11, Romans 6:7-8

[@davidchupp4460]

Wrong. The FLESH was circumcised not the sin nature. It’s imperative to use a correct translation otherwise you’ll end up in the weeds. All believers still have a sin nature.

[@kylesybesma7864]

There's a book called maximum joy by David Anderson that explains 1 John really well. This take on 1 john is not popular at all. I've tried many times to explain the believers duel nature and most full on make me feel like a heretic. But this take on 1st John is the correct take. How in the world would we be able to look at ourselves honestly, and not lose all hope if we thought 1st John was a test for salvation rather than a test of fellowship.

[@Livingingrace]

Amen on this one brother. and I am curious. Do you plan to do a video on your view of a pre vs post trib return of Christ? I saw your community post got a whole lot of attention. I am post trib myself after reading the scriptures without any preconceived ideas and just let the text fall where they would. Keep on sharing the gospel and good teachings brother as it does encourage others to do likewise. God bless you and yours.

[@OnoDiamante]

Lord willing, I'll address it in the future. I have a TON of videos concerning salvation that need to be done first.

[@Livingingrace]

@@OnoDiamanteawesome and Definitely looking forward to more on salvation as the world is packed with false works based gospels so keep them coming :)

[@tome2528]

For example, if I say "John does righteousness". Am I describing his character by what he practices? This is why the verse properly translates to practicing, because it is a present tense verb. Syntactically in means to practice

[@tonylittleton3396]

Aye brother, idk what to do anymore walking in the Spirit is so hard and I'm a lonely Christian don't go to church (no fellowship) and rarely go outside. I'm not growing at all in my new life and sin is a huge problem for me. Habitual sin struggles even before getting saved. I feel like God's gonna cut my days short here on earth as a carnal Christian. Depression. No victory.

[@OnoDiamante]

Get to church, go to work, join a gym and GROW!

I’ll pray for you Tony. Fellowship is so important in our walk with Jesus. Victory is his and his victory is now and forever and you as a believer have part in that. Love you and I’m praying for you. Stay in the word and ask for guidance. Never give up. ❤️

[@brianlutzak]

good stuff!

[@bighand1530]

@caleburias5596He isn’t justifying sin. But for someone who is saved, until they are finally in Heaven, the new God given nature and the old sinful flesh are gonna be clashing.

[@GiftofGrace88]

@caleburias5596 He is obviously not twisting scripture. You obviously don't know how to divide the Word of God and understand the truth.

[@jimdapogny4531]

Awesome news.

[@bee-creative.]

Thank you so much for this! I am still struggling with 1John 3: 14-15 though? Also 1Peter 4:18, please? Thank you!

[@cbak1819]

What has passed away then ? as written in herefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

[@ralphnavidad0909]

Nice video but I'm struggling at 1 John 3:15 were it says "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺."(𝟭 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟯:𝟭𝟱) Some of the Lordship Salvation believers may say that "see? We can lose our salvation if we kill our brother in Christ" which confuses me. I hope you can help me on this one.
