1 John 3:5-6 is
> 5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
Is there a name for the idea that Jesus' 'taking away the sin of the world' (John 1:29) is done **in a *causal* way** by decreasing the prevalence of sin and increasing the prevalence of righteousness in one to the degree that one abides in the Christ?
