For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:13-14)
129 “Do Christians sin?” Absolutely no! There is no Scripture where a Christian sins. He cannot sin. I know there’s a resentment to that. Well, we’ll just go to First John 3 and see what the Scripture says. A Christian does not sin.
130 Did you ever see a black, white bird or a white, black bird? Did you ever see a drunk, sober man? No! You never did see a sinner, saint either. There’s no such a thing.
131 Now, if this gets just a little touchy, you just put a lot of balm in, you know, and it’ll—it’ll cure up just in a little bit now.
132 Now, the Scriptures is our absolutely, infallible proofs of what we are speaking of. First John 3rd chapter and the 9th verse. All right, listen to this!
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Listen, are you ready? Got your jackets on, the armor all buckled up? Listen close, ’cause this is shocking.
Whosever is borned of God does not commit sin;… (How’s that?)…for his seed…(His seed, God’s.)… remaineth in him:…(The man!)…and he cannot sin, because he’s borned of God.
In this the children of God are made manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither…that loveth not his brother.
How can you have denominations and draw barriers and things like that, and say you’re borned of God? No such a thing. It’s a mock of the—Satan. That’s right. But a man that’s borned of God cannot sin; it’s impossible for him to sin.
133 Watch! Just let me take this crucifix just a minute if it’ll come off of there. Who was the sin offering? Jesus Christ. How do we get in Christ? Who died for us? Christ. What did He die for? Our sins. He took my punishment. Is that right? And then how do I get into Him? By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body. And when in this Body, we’re covered by the Blood and free from the judgments. He cannot sin, because there’s a Blood sacrifice laying for him day and night. Hallelujah! He can’t sin. He has no desire to sin. If he does it—if he does do something wrong, he don’t mean to do it. The Bible said in Hebrews the 10th chapter, “For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the Truth (and He is the Truth), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. He that despised Moses’ law died under two or three witness, how much more sorer punishment suppose, though worthy, who’s trod the Blood of Jesus Christ under his feet and counted the Blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified with an unholy thing, and done despite to the works of grace.”
134 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body and are free from sin, and we cannot sin. There is an atonement waiting for us. And if there’s still desire in your heart to sin, you have never been baptized into that Body, because you are dead and your life is hid in Christ through God and sealed by the Holy Ghost. Christians don’t sin. They make mistakes, but they don’t sin. Amen! That’s the reason they don’t, for he cannot sin.
