What does the Bible say about believers and sin?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible commands believers to 'sin not' as a reflection of their fellowship with God.

In 1 John 2:1, the Apostle John instructs believers, 'My little children, these things I write unto you, that ye sin not.' This command is rooted not in the law, which offers no hope of forgiveness, but in the grace bestowed upon us through the gospel of Jesus Christ. John is emphasizing that believers, who have fellowship with God, should strive to live in accordance with the grace they have received. The essence of this command is to highlight the transformative power of the gospel in the lives of true believers, compelling them to seek righteousness and reject sin.
