I prove that I can't every day... in every way. Rom 3:9-19
If sin was like shootin' I couldn't hit the broad side of the barn but I'd probably hit the neighbors favorite horse
My dog says I can... as long as I let her eat the cat food.
Do you think if you had Christ in you, that He could put down those sins in your own flesh?
If I said I didn't sin I'd be lying which is sin. There is one denomination I can think of that teaches being sin free is obtainable, but from what I can tell, this is self-righteousness accomplished by comparing their lifestyle to other Christian denominations lifestyles.
Honestly, I'd be happy to make it through one day without sinning.
Do you think if you had Christ in you, that He could put down those sins in your own flesh?
I don't think Christ is in me... I know He is. To suggest "I think" is to bring into question my faith. That sir/ma'am... is not your job.
Is Christ faithful? of course he is, and my spirit prevails but my flesh remains trapped in a sinful world. That part of me, just like every other human upon this planet, is subject to sin and the temptation the world presents. We all stumble in many ways.
The Bible teaches very clearly that no one can live a perfect life without sin. Even if they could, they are still guilty for past sins which still makes them guilty before God and in need of forgiveness, which is only available through faith in Christ who alone paid for all mankind's sins.
Ro 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Ro 3:20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin
1Jn 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Even after conversion, we will struggle with sin.
Ro 7:19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
Ro 7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
