标 题：没有罪
经 节：凡住在祂里面的，就不犯罪；凡犯罪的，是未曾看见祂，也未曾认识祂。（约翰一书三章6节）
圣经中清楚说明两件关于罪的事。首先，不管你自认属灵状况有多好，你陷于罪恶的生活方式，仍表明你没有行在圣灵的大能中。你不能够固定查经、默想神的话、祷告、及与圣灵同行，却继续犯罪。
其次，如果你不像神一样恨恶罪，那么你不是真认识祂。有些人沉溺在自己的罪行之中，却坚持自己是爱神，是属祂的。约翰说的很清楚：如果活在罪中，你不可能看见祂，也不可能认识祂。你可能会作“认罪祷告”，或在自己的教会中委身、奉献自己，或是受洗。然而，圣灵与你同住的证据，是你正战胜罪。这不代表你永远不犯罪，而是代表你不容许罪存留在生活当中，当你一犯罪，马上寻求饶恕（约翰一书一：10）。你会敌视罪，就像神的立场一样。你愿让圣灵将你生命中任何罪的蛛丝马迹，全部连根拔除。你一犯罪，就马上认罪悔改，并且愿意付上任何代价不再犯罪。
如果你发现自己已经陷入恶习，并且犯了罪之后，心里一点也不悲痛，这代表你并没有住在基督里。你要回到祂的面前悔改，重建你与祂的关系。如此做，你会再次战胜罪恶，得到胜利。
No Sin
Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins
has neither seen Him nor known Him. (1 John 3:6)
The Bible makes two things clear about sin. First,
living a lifestyle of sin indicates that you are not walking in the power of
the Holy Spirit, regardless of what you say about your spiritual condition. You
cannot regularly spend time studying and meditating on God’s word, praying and
walking in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and persist in sin.
Second, if you do not hate sin the way God does, then
you do not truly know Him. There are those who continue in their sin yet insist
that they love God and belong to Him. John makes it clear: If you have a
lifestyle of sin, you have not seen Him and do not know Him. You may have
prayed a “sinner’s prayer,” or made a commitment in your church, or been
baptized, but the evidence of the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life is that
you are defeating sin. This does not mean that you will never sin, but it does
mean that you refuse to make sin a lifestyle and you immediately seek
forgiveness when you sin (1 John 1:10). It means that you are opposed to sin,
as God is, and you allow the Holy Spirit to eradicate every trace of sin in
your life. It means that when you sin, you immediately confess it and repent of
it and do whatever is necessary to avoid repeating your sin.
If you find yourself falling into sinful habits or
not grieving over your sin as you once did, this indicates that you are not
abiding in Christ. Return to Him in repentance; restore your fellowship with
Him, and you will once again experience victory over your sin.
