You are wrong. But until your hunger for the free indeed Christ promised us overtakes your contentment with the status quo, things will remain as they are.That doesn’t answer my question at all.
it’s difficult to understand all the verses that talk about not sinning, when everyone sins and “he who says he is without sin is a liar and the truth is not in him.”
It’s fun to wax poetic about being free from sin and quote verses that talk about resisting temptation, but what does it MEAN in real life? I believe all these verses are referring to our freedom from the consequences of sin because Christ paid the price, and us no longer being identified with and defined by our sin because we have our identity in Christ. This is the only way to look at these verses because all men sin daily, period. No matter how much you focus and meditate on freedom in Christ and overcoming sin, you WILL sin, until you die and are raised in a new body.
God has more for us. The question, as we approach the great malestrom of evil about to be unleashed upon a world with no answers, is not if a man can stop sinning, but if God is able to so change and free a man, that he simply can say no whwn tempted.
blessings to you,
