Why does Jesus say go and sin no more.
The law reveals our state ... sin = death
But we do not continue to sin.
By grace God will help us to be free from sin.

Jesus told them to sin no more, knowing full well, that is exactly what they would do, keep sinning.
Your sinful ways are meant to drive you to the cross.
The more you sin the more your knees bend.
The more you sin the more you look to Jesus.
Till one day you fall flat on your face and surrender, you give up trying to obey.
That's the day when you utter what Paul said.
Romans 7:24-25
Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
That's the day when there is no condemnation.
Romans 8:8
Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.
