"Whoever abides in Him does not sin..." (1 John 3:6)

>>> How is this possible? Because

"When we take heed according to His Word, we cleanse our way." (Psalm 119:9)

..........and..........

"We hide His Word in our heart that we may not sin against Him." (Psalm 119:11)

>>>>> This is "the way of escape" He has made for me when I am tempted, that I may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

>>>>> But I am not self-sufficient that I should be able to bear the temptation apart from Him. If I do not abide in Him Who is the Word of God (Revelation 19:13) I will not be able to bear the temptation.

..........Yet..........

if I "set the Lord always before me and have Him at my right hand" I can say with humble confidence, along with the Psalmist: "I WILL NOT BE MOVED." (Psalm 16:8)
