What does the Bible say about sinning as a Christian?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that while Christians should strive to sin not, they have an advocate in Jesus Christ when they do sin.

Scripture commands believers to sin not, acknowledging the unchanging holiness of God. In 1 John 2:1, John writes, 'My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.' This is a solemn command that stresses the seriousness of sin even in the life of a believer. However, John also comforts Christians by assuring them that 'if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.' This means that when believers do fall into sin, they can find reassurance in knowing that Jesus pleads their case. His advocacy is rooted in His righteousness and sacrificial death, providing both the basis for forgiveness and encouragement for believers to strive for holiness.
