The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for Gods seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. ESVFor this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.NKJV
