Subject: Is iT possible to live without sin? |
Bible Note: I also believe that a life without sin is obtainable in this present life through sanctification. Most of the time when this subject is spoken of, 1 John 8 and 10 are usually brought into the picture. These verses pertain to life prior to salvation and confession of sin. The following verse 2:1 even states, "And if any man sins" meaning that some must have been living sinless lives or else he would have said, "When man sins." In verse 2:6 he states how we should walk, even as he walked. I just cannot believe with all the doctrine and light that we should have today, that if we, with a sincere heart ask God to deliver us from sin and are willing to obey him at all cost, that he would tell us that he cannot help us. The devil put us in sin and to say that God cannot not deliver us out of sin would be a disgrace to The Almighty God. But who's willing to go that far? And who wants to be delivered? The bible says that nothing defiled will enter into heaven and to follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the lord. It doesn't even matter if we know someone or not that does not live free from sin. Most of the world today want to compare themselves with man, a preacher, or someone else that seems to be doing good. We need to look to Christ and not to man. Most men will defend living in sin instead of righteousness and without a doubt be in the majority. Still, that doesn't make sin an option according to the true word of God. Three things that we need to ask ourselves: What sin is it that we must do? And, if we could live a sinlesss life, would we? Are we willing to go that far to obtain holiness, or do we have to much to give up? That's what sanctification is all about, not that we will have to give everything up but are we willing to if God ask. And if we are living in sin it can almost be assured that we will have to give something up. Your heart will know if you are willing and he knows your heart. We cannot have any touchmenots. We have an option and if we really want this it is obtainable and Christ will provide the way. In Christ, Lanny |
