Ronald Smith

Why he had to write this book

For much of his Christian life, Ronald Smith lived with a quiet contradiction. He believed the Bible, prayed, and tried, yet he was taught to expect ongoing defeat, as if sin were simply the believer’s permanent condition. Something about that didn’t match the Scriptures he kept reading.

So he went back to the text. Verse after verse described a people genuinely set free, born of God, and empowered to walk in holiness and love. The more he studied the New Covenant, the clearer it became: the church had quietly lost a doctrine that Scripture never abandoned.

A Child of God Does Not Sin is the result of that search, written not from a chair of condemnation, but from the hope that other believers can step out of the cycle of guilt and into the freedom God actually promised.
