Hi Everyone,
Here is an interesting thought by Ryan Sletcher:
"Most Christians believe that they will only be completely free from sin when they die. They believe it is impossible to live on this earth without sinning. Think about it like this:
If you have the capacity to sin, then you also have the capacity to stoop down and eat sand for lunch. Sinning and eating sand: both totally possible, but is it inevitable that you would eat sand? Not at all.
If you think it is inevitable for you to sin in this life after becoming a Christian, then your thoughts are inconsistent with scripture, primarily that you are no longer a slave to sin. If it is inevitable for you sin, then you are still under sin's power. This is simply not the case. For more info read Romans 6:6-7; Galatians 5:24; Colossians 2:11; and Romans 6:14.
So, when most Christians believe that they will only be completely free from sin when they die, they're actually right. They just don't realize the full truth: they already died with and in Christ. Let us now agree that sin has no power over us and let Christ's life flow freely through us."
Grace=Peace,
Jeremy
