it is byputting ones trust completely in the finished work of Christ
first hecame to
Matthew 5:17
Think notthat I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,but to fulfil.
John 10:10
The thiefcometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that theymight have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Then he wentto the cross after doing all showing all that he was and is the first chosen’sMessiah so they not knowing what the cross would bring they crucified him andhe allowed this willingly in order to free all those that come to belief heyells out as he gives up the Ghost
John 19:30
When Jesustherefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed hishead, and gave up the ghost.
Christ thustook away all sins punishment of death away in his Father sight so we could bythis receive new Life in the Holy Ghost by belief of what is done at the crossand this is complete by the resurrection of Christ being our resurrection hereand now by belief and we thus able to walk as he walked being born again in theSpirit of God
Christ didall this for us it is a gift from God one to appreciate and be incrediblythankful for
1 Peter 4:10
As every manhath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as goodstewards of the manifold grace of God.
Ephesians2:8
For by graceare ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians3:7
Whereof Iwas made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me bythe effectual working of his power.
by God's power given to us by his doing in andif the cross, the death to free us then the resurrection to keep us we areloved lavished on us beyond words beyond understanding this is how one stopsand they do noteven know it because they are too busy with their new Life inChrist there is no time to think about sin therefore once conscience is purgedfrom sin
Because ifone sows(thinks) about sin then one will reap sin and
continue aslong as ones focus is on sin or not sin because no matter what a man sows tothat he will reap
Galatians6:8
For he thatsoweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth tothe Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
So whatshould we sow to flesh or Spirit of God and learn to always sow to?

we will never completely stop sinning because we are human and this human nature loves to sin. We can avoid the places and things that cause us to sin if we are weak in spirit. We can also be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and HE will help us overcome temptation. But we wont stop completely until we reach glory land.
THANK THE LORD FOR GRACE!!!!!

Well as one does not believe to be dead to sin by the death ( Romans 6:11) then there is no way one can live in the Spirit of God by the resurrection of Christ one has to be final about being forgiven and are with Christ dead back at the cross to recieve the other, which is new life by the resuurected Christ (Romans 5:8-11)
it takes belief beyond this world and this is what Christ came to do is give us new life here and now to live in the Spirit continuously and can only be accomplished day by day dieing daily to flesh sin and being alive to the Holy Ghost daily.
Again as long as you belief you are not dead to one will continue in their sinful habits. because as a man sows
Galatians 6:8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
This world has done a great job in deceitfullness of getting all to work at their quitting sinful behavior which is what keeps one sining. This world has added even another one to reinforce the first one to be forgiven over and over another lie from the deciever.
there is no place in the New Testament after the death of Christ anywhere to ask for more forgiveness after one has accepted Christ's death for them, that is the only place where forgiveness was and is still provided for the ones that come to belief.
Find it please remember though we are talking after the death of Christ any place that the word calls for more forgiveness after one recieves the Forgiveness from the cross of Christ the Author and finisher of ones Faith.
Yep everything one needs in in the cross, where all the riches and glory are found in Christ Jesus, no other

The thing about the teaching of being sinless, is that to become sinless we must repent and never sin again. the thing with grace is some take advantage of it and do whatever they please saying it's okay i am covered by grace. we have to find a balance here. in truth we can never completely stop sinning as long as this flesh is attached to these bones, but we sure can tryLOL. but we musn't condemn ourselves when we mess up. The thing i don't like about never sinning again teaching is that it sounds so hard and stern. that's not the god i know, his yoke is light. He only looks at us with loving eyes, not a fiery condemning eyes(Yikes)

I agree that there are denominations that will say "do what ever you want cause your "saved" when Paul said... " I die daily". I believe he repented of sins all the time as we all should. Beause when I cause offence to someone else, I say I'm sorry. The same thing should IF NOT MORE apply to our GOD.
And another thing I have learned is that condemnation is not of GOD.
We do our best, and GOD does the rest.

You have no doubt heard the expression, "Let go and Let God."
You, like as most of us, have probably experienced struggling with something (especially when we were children) while someone stood near by trying to tell you that there was an easier way.
And so it is likely that you can look back on that experience and remember how when you finally ceased struggling and listened to them you were amazed at how easy it became to do what beforehand you were struggling to do.
Ponder how the following relates: Luke 6:25a "Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger...."
Our first and foremost important task is to get over thinking we know.
But there is a paradox there while we have not gotten over ourselves which is caused of our tendency to judge others.
And so when one comes along who has emptied their self of their self and thus were able to be refilled by the spirit of God, we judge that he or she must not know what they are talking about and that their confidence that they do know is only really proof that they have not gotten over themselves.
My, my, my, what a dilemma. Not a wonder Jesus told us to suspend judgment. Just look how we blind ourselves due to not yet being qualified to judge.
How does ceasing that struggle work?
It works the same way it did in that past experience we recalled. It enabled us to listen so that we could learn.
The leading of the holy spirit is stifled when we are full of our own voice and opinion. We cannot hear it's gentle whisper because we are to busy listening to the voice of our own beliefs.
