Sin And The Saints (2 of 15)
I John 1:5-10

Introduction
1. I want to begin today by asking you 3 questions. The first question: can a christian sin? Well, the bible says that all christians sin. As a matter fact, according to the word of god there is only one christian who has ever lived who never sinned and that was the lord jesus christ.1 peter lied. David committed adultery. Moses waf a murderer. But not only does the bible tell us that christians sin.

And if sin could make you lose your salivation then it would only take « of 1 sin to damn you forever. Listen i wouldn't trust the best 15 minutes i have ever lived in my life to get me into heaven. No, as we will find out as we study 11 john, a christian cannot lose his salvation.
