Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 15, 2018

This is the first of three messages that will ultimately answer the question "Now that we are born again with God's life and nature and no longer have a sin nature why do we sin?"

Fifteen years ago I learned a simple truth from scripture. It’s a truth that explains why Christians commit sin after they are born again.
