Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: Greetings Edb! I would answer 'both' in one sense. It is a goal that we strive for in that we will not be perfect until we are glorified, but it is a possibility in this life in the sense that Christ has given us everything we need to live holy right now. But, sin is always an option in this life. We can always choose to disobey God, the difference for the believer is that we don't HAVE TO disobey God. I hope that helps!
