John1:29_ The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world."

If you render this scripture in the light of Christ finished work. It will be like this, Behold the Lamb of God who have taking away the sin of the world." Jesus has taken away the sin of the world for He is the sacrifice of the whole world. Christ died that we may die to sin.

There is still sin in the world because all men is failing to reckon(count, consider, see) themselves dead to sin but alive unto God and his righteousness through Christ Jesus.

Being ever conscious(mindful) of Christ Jesus as your righteousness will cause you to reign above sin and the devil.

Say with me, I am dead to sin and death through the death of Jesus Christ, but alive unto God and his righteousness and holiness today, tomorrow and forever. Amen!

Friend, be ever conscious of this and watch how the Holy Ghost will fill you till you overflow. Hallelujah!!

This is the work of God for you.

See yourself dead to sin through Christ Jesus and you will live above every sin that reigns over you.

It is finish! Your sin He has beared. Why are you still in subjection to sin?
Don't you know that, "it is written: sin shall not have dominion over you."

Dead to sin but alive unto righteousness through Christ. Hallelujah!

There is still sin in the world because your religious books are meaningless. And even those that believe in it cannot bring themselves to follow it to the letter.

It's been over 2000 years now and trust me, the percentage of real adherents to the faith will only keep shrinking by the day. In the early days, even the apostles thought the apocalypse was bound to happen in their time. So they were all steadfast and still.
But now even pastors don't believe in the bible anymore. That's why they are only particular about tithes. And that's why they sleep with ur wives. Because they are sure nothing will happen to them.

Let there be light in thy heart... Amen

Don't you know that,
"it is written: sin shall not have dominion over you."

The bible, in Romans 12:5 and 1 Corinthians 15:21
lets us know that, it's through one man, that sin (i.e. missing the mark way of life)
and ultimately inherited faults etcetera entered the world through

The bible, in Genesis 4:7, gives an insight in to sin's modus operandi
According to Genesis 4:7, apparently
"sin is crouching at the door.
Its desire is for us, but we must rule over it"

No wonder, in light of Genesis 4:7 above, the bible in 1 John 1:8, says:
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us".

God, in Genesis 4:7, told Cain about sin,
God warned him, in the verse, that, sin, is lying so close to the ground near him
and leaning forward slightly, in a ready position, to launch an attack and have him
It is always this "lying low, taking position and waiting to spring" same way, that sin operates or works
Cain's parents, Adam & Eve, before him, were at the receiving end of sin and how it operates and works.

¹⁴But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
^15aThen when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
- James 1:14-15

Now from James 1:14-15 above, the answer to question:Why Is There Still Sin In The World? becomes clearly visible & understood
as it confirms 1 John 1:8's position when saying:
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us".

Sin will continue and always be in this world,
as long as, giving in to desire(s), to do something, especially something wrong or unwise exists

Genesis 4:7, says the desire(s) is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.
as in, the desire(s), want to dominate you, but you must master, overcome or subdue it."

Sin, when the fullness of time had come, will cease to exist
Until then, sin is still in the world, it lives in and around all of us,
waiting in the wings, to be birthed, after lustful desire has conceived

What is sin?
It is an unattractive or unsatisfactory feature, in every person's character.
Sin, from God's point of view and a Jewish concept, is missing the mark
Sin is doing something, especially something wrong, that cant be permitted or that's unwise to the point of not meeting up with God's standard

It also, is deviating from not, doing each of the 3 righteousness Rights rites, at the same time.
i.e. Do the Right thing, done at the Right time, without stopped being at/on God's Right side

So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you.
Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires.
Don't be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
- Colossians 3:5

How is lust formed, that gives birth to sin?
Colossians 3:5, corroborates 1 John 1:8, in that we have sin living in us.
Implying, when one goes along with thoughts that come up in the mind to do something, especially something that's wrong or unwise
then one will find themselves, consumed by the desire, as a result of giving in to whatever the lurking temptation was, that's within us.
Whenever these thoughts and strong desires are conceived but not checked,
they lead to committing an uncharacteristic error
Carrying out the uncharacteristic error & the state or condition of being wrong in conduct or judgement, is what gives birth to sin(s)

How does one stop the birth of sin,
how can one see self, dead to sin, through Christ Jesus
and live above every sin that reigns over one.?

"Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions
and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there."
- Galatians 5:24

Well, we know that James 1:15b said:
"sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death"
If what is good for the goose, is equally good for the gander.
then what Colossians 3:5 and Galatians 5:24 above,
are advising as a good antidote to James 1:15b, is that, kill sin, before sin kills you
Kill because what doesn't kill you, will likely try again

"For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die;
but if by the Spirit, you put to death your sinful actions, you will live.
- Romans 8:13

"Let me explain further.
Live your life as your spiritual nature directs you.
Then you will never follow through on what your corrupt nature wants"
- Galatians 5:16

Apart from Romans 8:13 plus Galatians 5:16 above and Galatians 5:24 further above, Galatians 5:16 warns:
"Don't let sin keep ruling your lives.
You are ruled by God's undeserved grace and not by the Law."

Why is there still sin the world even when the Lamb has taken it away? This is a very very deep question.

I read an article recently on nairaland where the Pope said we should have less relationship with Christ and more with the Church. Almost everyone on that thread rose against it.

Before 500 years ago, the Bible was in the hands of the Vatican and the only people who had access to it were the priests because it was written in Latin. Thank God for Martin Luther, a German who interpreted it and made it accessible to we all.

So when the pope made that statement, you know the questions that came to my mind? What does he know that we don't know? Are we sure he's not speaking from an informed place?

The next upcoming days will answer that.

thank you brother. You see, I have been struggling with sin for some time now, it is not until the Holy Spirit showed from Colossians 3:3-4, that Christ is my life. And since then I have win the victory over sin. so we are dead to sin and we live in the flesh through Christ that is our life. thank you brother

sin is simply disobeying

Disobeying, is an unattractive or unsatisfactory feature, in every persons' character.

MuttleyLaff thanks for further enlightenment

Sin shall not have dominion over you for you died to it through Jesus.
