God wants back what he lost with Adam , not give you a license to sin.
God lost nothing with Adam. It was our very first lesson on the road to eternal life. We do not expect the same things from a sprout or a sapling or a mature tree or a mighty oak, It is a process.
From Mark 4:26, . . . Thus is the kingdom of God, as though a man should cast seed into the earth, then sleep and rise, night and day, and the seed should sprout without his knowing it. For of itself the earth bears the crop, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
When we love God and each other every day and repent when we don't, we can NOT sin!! The Spirit of agape love (Who IS God) has no room in it for sin. That is why we must act out of agape love in all we do.

So you admit freeing yourself from sin is a necessary work in progress and if we don't give up God won't give up?

You have put the cart in front of the horse and can focus on nothing else. As long as you continue to focus on sin you will continue to struggle. God calls us to be PROactive, to love, not to be REactive, tryin g to stop sinning.

God didn't see a vast expanse of darkness and say, "Wow, it sure is dark!"
He changed everything with the power of His word - continually in scripture we're told to say, profess, speak, prophesy, etc. and use the measure of faith He's given to every man. (Romans 12:3)
As we use it, it gets stronger. That's why when Jesus was asked to increase their faith, He went straight from a mustard seed to having a servant (Luke 17)
Quote:
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.â€
So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

Not many really get this...and to say the words, "Let there be Light."....what HAD to be behind that?
The faith of knowing it would happen.
This entire place exists on faith...God is Spirit...Spirit created this whole 3rd dimension...
so what is more powerful than worldly beliefs? That which created it, Spirit.
So what makes more sense to believe in? The Worldly Thought System or
the Spiritual Thought System, that which created the world...?
I choose the Holy Spirit's Thought System.
(Greatly backed by 'A Course in Miracles', also...)

"Call that which is not as tho it were..."
One of my favorite instructions!
Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. You chose not to believe him? OK. Judaism now has very little in common with the Judaism of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, etc.
Please come back to the God of your forefathers.
So the G-d of my father's would be through Christianity is what you are saying?...
God's grace can never be earned. He died preemtively on the cross for our sins. However we do need to accept him as our Lord and Savior in order to reap the rewards of His death on the cross and the grace that comes with it.
Some people say well what's the point of living a holy life if he continually forgives us and lavishes his grace? It's true once you accept him you can never have salvation or the grace taken away. However, living a life worthy of His calling provides a much smoother life and walk for us. Just because God doesn't smite us doesn't mean it's glorifying and edifying to the kingdom of God, the world we live in and ultimately healthy for our own being.
G-d didn't die on the cross...
