In reality, dcontroversal, the works crowd, and sinless perfection crowd have even altered some of our vocabulary, because we know we will be accused of promoting sin. But if we are honest with ourselves, we sin most of the time and a LOT.
We are comparing ourselves to perfect holiness, perfect righteousness. We don't have words or the capacity to understand how BIG that is. A sinner compared to perfection?
From my studies, the more I learn about Grace and His perfection, the more I realize how much I truly sin.
My actions need to be perfect.
My thoughts need to be perfect.
I need to perfectly handle and solve all my problems.
I need to perfectly follow His will for my life.
Every step I take needs to be perfectly aligned with His plan for my life.
I can't worry.
I can't fear anything.
I can't say one wrong word.
I can never put myself first.
I have to respect my wife, even when she is nagging.
I have to perfectly handle all problems and victories at work.
I have to perfectly raise my kids.
I have to perfectly handle my animals.
I have to perfectly handle His Word.
I cannot make ONE mistake in life.
And this is a pretty shallow list. And I fail or miss the mark more often than not in most of the cases.In fact way more often than not.
I believe that the greatest christian who ever lives on this earth. And Is a supergrace believer and has the greatest insight ever, of the sin issue, will be shocked when they get to heaven and see just how much sin was still in his life.
