1 John 3:9 - The Message
People conceived and brought into life by God dont make a practice of sin. How could they? Gods seed is deep within them, making them who they are. Its not in the nature of the God-begotten to practice and parade sin. Heres how you tell the difference between Gods children and the Devils children: The one who wont practice righteous ways isnt from God, nor is the one who wont love brother or sister. A simple test.

1 John 3:9 - Additional Comments
Righteousness is not an art or an acquired skill - it is a new nature. Therefore the consequence of this new nature is the renewed person cannot sin, i.e. he cannot continue in the course and practice of sin. He cannot sin so as to identify himself as regenerate, without God. He cannot sin as he did before he had God. There is a new light in his spirit which reveals sin clearly. There is no longer the heart and spirit to freely sin. Now the mind and spirit are against sin.
Therefore, there should be great repentance and humiliation when sin is committed, for the new nature reveals the horror and evil of it, and how distasteful it is.
