What makes it possible for we Christians to sin are human impulses, greed, desire, anger, hate, lust, fear, ignorance, or sometimes just what is easiest to do at the time.
Hi Foxfyre
Paul's answer to that was.
Gal. 5:24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
You have Crucified the Flesh, haven't you?
Rom. 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
You are in the Spirit aren't you, you do have the Sprit of Christ.....Right?
All of us have fallen short. We are all sinners in one way or another via commission and/or omission and that is why we need forgiveness, redemption, a Savior.
Yes we have Paul says so, but this is before we are Saved.
Rom. 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Paul says we have received Forgiveness.
Rom. 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Col. 1:14
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Paul says we have been Redeemed.
Gal. 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
I suspect the only thing that will keep us from sinning is entrance into heaven, and I'm not 100% sure about that.
We are dead to sin
Rom 6:2
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:10,11
10) For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11) Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom. 6:3-7
3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7) For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom. 8:3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
1 Jn 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Be Blessed
