One of the greatest scriptures throughout all of the Bible is I John 3:9. It mannifests the extreme genius of God the Father. The ability to put in just one sentence some of the most significant truth regarding God's righteousness, justice and love the joy of our salvation, eternal security.
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin, for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin because he is born of God." I John 3:9
Let's review. First, who is born of God? "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God..." I John 5: 1 What happens when we are born of God? God the Father imputes to us judicial righteousness or perfection. We, in our new status, as judicially righteous, are considered perfect, "...doth not commit sin..." Understand, in context, this scripture is referring to a judicial perfection. Therefore, we do not sin(considered)perfect only from a judicial standpoint or rendering.
As I previously said, while commenting in the book of Romans we are considered judicially perfect and righteous yet still a sinner, an oxymoron of grace.
To continue. "...for his seed remaineth in him..." The seed of eternal life, once received, can never be removed. Why? Again, as I've said. Double jeopardy. God can never impute sin or condemn us again. Sin is dead, by virture of atonement, to the extent of penalty, spiritual death.
Such logic also explains the remaining part of this scripture "...and he cannot sin..."That is, we are eternally secure and nothing can separate us from the love of God since all sin is dead, resolved, unlimited atonement.
The scripture ends in circular fashion, to reiterate why we are secure, "...because we are born of God..."
