Does 1 John 3:9 Refer to Living Out Our “Born” Identity?
For more context on this question, see the article and discussion at “Does 1 John 3:9 Actually Say a Christian Can’t Sin?”
The basic interpretive problem in 1 John 3:9 is that John seems to say Christians do not sin. We know this can’t really be what he’s saying, because he says pretty much the opposite in 1 John 1:8 and 10.
