"Bowels of compassion" in 1 John 3:17 is an older expression for a true, deep, empathy & giving of practical help to those who are needy. 'Bowels' was considered that deep part of one's being - today, we would refer to it as 'heart', (not the organ pumping blood), that is reached & touched with a deep sense of wanting to render every possible help to another. So if we say that God's Love is in us but we shut our hearts (bowels) to another's need, then our love for God is false & His Love is not in us. Very strong words, but also very true & challenging.

abiding is the key word ,walking in the lite.as he is in the lite ,if we have a continual abideing in him which is one of the characteristics of born again believers,we wont make sin a practice ,but we will practice righteousness instead..

This verse proves that it most certainly is possible to walk in this life without sinning. I hear so many people saying the only one who is perfect is Jesus...that He is the only one who didn't sin. But this verse clearly shows that the only way we can know Christ and really truly say we abide in Him and He in us is by not sinning. When we truly have our eyes on God and are walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit, then we are constrained from sinning. We can not sin. So, preachers and laymen alike who say it's impossible not to sin, are lying and are deceived.
