But you don't need a saviour from sin if you never commit sin do you.
Okay, again, obeying God is a part of receiving God's grace (or salvation).
Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him:
For Hebrews 5:9 says,
"And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;"
How do you explain this verse?
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7).
Walking in the light is loving your brother and or keeping God's commandments.
"He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him." (1 John 2:10).
We know from Paul that keeping the Moral Law is the equivalent of loving your neighbor.
8 "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there beany other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." (Romans 13:8-10).
So getting back to 1 John 1:7, we learn that walking in the light is keeping God's commandments or loving one's neighbor (or brother). So if we walk in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us of all sin. We have to be walking in the light (obeying) in order to have the blood of Jesus cleanse us.
As for the following replies, you said that these are sins that you struggle with. So I will address them with Scripture.
You said:
You never get angry unless you have a really good just cause,
"...man's anger does not produce the righteousness of God." (James 1:20).
"In your anger do not sin" (Ephesians 4:26).
Rather than post all the verses here on anger, I think it is best you check them all out the rest of them for yourself here:
But needless to say that anger is something that is not commonly associated with the righteous. We are told not to make friends with someone who is easily provoked and made angry quickly. We are told that the anger of men does not produce the righteousness of God. Meaning, we cannot live righteously in this life if we get angry. This truth applies to me just as much as it applies to you.
You said:
you never have negative thoughts about anyone.
Well, thinking that somebody is bad because they sin is not unrighteous. That would be considered as negative thoughts towards a person and it would not be bad in God's sight. It is when we don't care for them and do not love them in any way by us hating them instead of desiring to see them saved and in walking in righteousness or in God's good ways instead of sin. In other words, we are to hate the sin and not the sinner.
We are told to:
"Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." (Romans 12:9).
So if I abhor the sins of a man (i.e. negative thoughts towards them), that does not mean I am sinning. It is only when a believer hates a man or another person is where it become wrong (Whereby you don't desire them to be saved and or you want bad things to happen to them instead of good things from our Lord). All deserve God's grace and mercy. For he sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
You perfectly at all times love everyone you meet, including those who may be unkind to you or persecute you.
Does the Bible say that we have to perfectly love in order to be saved? I just see the Bible saying that we have to love our neighbor as a part of eternal life.
25 "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live." (Ephesians 4:25-28).
This do, and you shall live.
This do, and you shall live.
It's not....
"Hey, believe on Jesus only and you shall live."
As for not loving others who persecute you:
Well, we do have to love them enough at least to forgive them and to wish them to be saved (Whereby we would pray for them at some point). To not forgive, means the Father will not forgive us (See Matthew 6:15). To not care for lost souls means we are not loving our neighbor as ourself who was once also a sinner like them (Who hurt people at one time).
The spread of the gospel should be our desire for all lost souls. To turn back from wanting others to be saved means we are not fit (worthy) for the Kingdom of God.
"No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62).
You said:
You never have any impure thoughts.
Jesus says,
28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." (Matthew 5:28-30).
If someone stole something of yours you would gladly offer them more than what they stole with nothing but love in your heart for them. And if anyone asked to borrow from you, you would gladly give to them, without ever expecting anything back.
"Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." (Luke 12:15).
19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:19-20).
5 "...men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be there with content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition." (1 Timothy 6:5-9).
Do you believe verse 6 is even a possibility for your life?
Many teach that you cannot achieve that.
But that is not what the Bible says here above.
Try doing a study on holy living in the Bible (from an unbiased viewpoint and you will be shocked). The Bible does not teach that we can commit grievous sin and still be saved. One of the first lies in the Garden by the devil was his saying,
"You shall not surely die" (Genesis 3:4).
This lie was said to Eve in regards to her and Adam disobeying God's commandment. Today, the devil has not changed his tactics. The same lie is being pushed in our present day world. "You shall not surely die." (See Genesis 3:4).
