But someone who “practices” sin (i.e. consistently enjoys sin without heed for following Christ and His Word) reveals that he was never born again. Jesus told such people, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire” (John 8:44).
Lakini kwa Yule anayeendelea kutenda dhambi (kwa mfano, anaendelea kufurahia dhambi bila kusikia maagizo ya kumfuata Kristo na Neno lake) yaonyesha kwamba hakuwai zaliwa mara ya pili. Yesu alisema kuhusu watu kama hao, “Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, Ibilisi, na tama za baba yenu ndizo mpendazo kuzitenda” (Yohana 8:44).
