People of God

They are freed from sin

Romans 6:18

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

They are dead to sin

Romans 6:2

By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

1 Peter 2:24

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

They are unable to sin habitually

1 John 3:9

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.

1 John 5:18

We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.

They continually confess their sins

1 John 1:8-10

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

They are continually ashamed because of their sins

Romans 6:21

What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!

They separate themselves from

2 Timothy 2:19

Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

They must put to death sin in their life

Colossians 3:5

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

They pray that their sins may be forgiven

Luke 11:4

Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
