(Read 1 John 3:4, 5.)

Practicing sin is contrary to the Christian spirit, and we are grateful that Jesus Christ “was made manifest” as a human “to take away our sins.” Since “there is no sin in him,” he was able to present to God the one completely satisfactory sin-atoning sacrifice.​—Isaiah 53:11, 12; Hebrews 7:26-28; 1 Peter 2:22-25.
