If we can go a day without sinning, we can go a week without sinning, and possibly a month at the very least.
It is very possible to live a "perfect" Jesus filled life.

Good luck with that one.

Now don't take it out of context, its about obeying God and having strong will to overcome and listening to God instead of giving in to the struggles,

Once my grandma told me a story.
Luther (Do you know him?) and a friend were talking. His friend said that he could pray to God without thinking to other stuff meanwhile. Luther didn't think he could so they had a challenge. If the friend could, he would get a horse.
The friend prayed to God. When he was ready Luther asked him if he succeed. He didn't
"All the time I worried if I'd get a saddle too."

We as human aren't perfect. In fact. We can't live without sin on this earth.

Not the right mindset, no confidence to say hey yes we can.
Mindset+God
These are best 2 things that will actually help succeed.


Like I said, I can go without sinning for a day, so why not a weak? struggles are always going to happen but it is wether or not you actually give in. This is the form of perfect we are to strive for in God.

Hmm. I googled a lot and read a lot in my bible. Then I found this.
You could say that you can live without sin. If you say so. Ok.
But he.

"God is not looking for perfection on this side of Heaven. He knew we could never do it. That is why He sent Jesus to pay for our sins. What He is looking for is a heart that desires to please Him. We are promised that, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9)."

Not my words; found it on a site.
