What does it mean to sin not unto death?

Answered in 1 source

'Sin not unto death' refers to transgressions committed by believers, which do not sever their relationship with God.

'Sin not unto death' highlights the assurance that while believers may sin, those sins do not result in eternal condemnation, as they are covered by Christ's atoning sacrifice. In 1 John 5:16, John reassures believers by delineating the nature of sins that do not lead to death, emphasizing their acceptance in Christ, secured by God’s grace. This concept provides comfort to believers who may fear they have lost their salvation due to sin, affirming instead the enduring nature of God's mercy. As stated in Romans 8:38-39, nothing can separate the elect from the love of God in Christ Jesus, underscoring the permanence of salvation granted to those who truly trust in Him.
