This is confirmed by 1 Jn.3:5: "He (Jesus) was manifested to take away our sins". This confirms that "our sins" and "the works of the devil" are the same. Acts 5:3 provides another example of this connection between the devil and our sins. Peter says to Ananias: "Why hath Satan filled thine heart?" Then in verse 4 Peter says "Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart?" Conceiving something bad within our heart is the same as Satan filling our heart.
Hizi zimethibitishwa na 1 Yoh. 3:5."Yeye (Yesu) alidhihirishwa ili aziondoe dhambi zetu" Huu unathibitisha kwamba "dhambi zetu" na "kazi za Ibilisi"ni moja. Matendo. 5: 3 huu unatupatia mfano mwingine wa muungano huu kati ya Ibilisi na dhambi zetu. Petro akamwambia Anania:"Kwa nini shetani amekujaza moyo wako?". Kuwaza jambo fulani baya mioyoni mwetu ni sawa sawa na shetani amejaa mioyoni mwetu.
