Q

Ch. 31 Does 1 John 3:6, 9 (the Christian does not sin) contradict 1 John 1:8, 10 (the Christian does sin)?

A

No. (“Already but not yet”) Because Christians are already in the kingdom of God, they have victory over sin. But because they are not yet in heaven, they still will struggle with sin in this life until the Parousia. (pg. 286)
