WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN CONVERTED FROM IDOLS TO SERVE THE ONE, TRUE AND LIVING GOD, THEN YOU WILL KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD (SIN FREENESS).
It is the absence of God in a person that causes sin. (Eph. 2:12; Eph. 4:17-19).
[12] That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Eph. 2:12.
[17] This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
[18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
[19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. Eph. 4:17-19.
11. Thus when God dwells in a person (through the Holy Spirit), he keeps the Commandments of God or ceases sin. (1 Jn. 3:24; Ps. 119:1-3); Rom. 8:5-12.
[24] And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 Jn. 3:24.
