Sin and the Child of God

4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and asin is lawlessness.  
5 And you know athat He was manifested bto take away our sins, and cin Him there is no sin.  
6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 aHe who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, bthat He might destroy the works of the devil.  
9 Whoever has been aborn of God does not sin, for bHis seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

1 John 3:5

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins - He came into the world to destroy the power, pardon the guilt, and cleanse from the pollution of sin. This was the very design of his manifestation in the flesh. He was born, suffered, and died for this very purpose; and can it be supposed that he either cannot or will not accomplish the object of his own coming?

In him is no sin - And therefore he is properly qualified to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of men.
