Bible Answer: Hi Coko, I hope I can be a help. It sounds like you desires to be perfect(without any sin or failures and that simply isn't going to happen this side of heaven. If we were able to do this then we wouldn't have the need for God's forgiveness that He has provided. Notice 2 Cor 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Perfecting holiness is a process and is ongoing. What you can do is make sure you have received the Spirit of God [Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.] and He will lead you in this process. I hope this is a help to you. |
