Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
I believe sin does affect out eternal life if we do not abstain from it,and the consequences are not only of this world.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
A person hates sin,does not want to sin,wants to represent goodness,and act Christlike,they can do it by the Spirit.
There is no excuse why we cannot abstain from sin,for it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
We have a choice,and if we still a car there is no excuse,for we could of chose not to steal the car.
It is not that we cannot abstain from sin,but we want to son,and even the world can abstain from sin if they want,as they choose what sins they like,and what sins they do not like.
The world can abstain from sin if they want,but being fleshy,and of the world,they want to sin,but if they do not want to do drugs,they will not do them,and if they do not want to cheat on the wife,they will not cheat.
So how can a person that claims Christ say,we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with God.
They act as if they cannot help but sin,and there is nothing they can do about it.
Sorry judge for stealing that car,for my body went to stealing that car and I could not stop it,but you know judge we cannot abstain from sin,which is silly,because they could of chosen to do good,and not stole the car.
Sorry honey for fornicating with the woman next door for 3 hours,but my body has a mind of its own,and I tried to stop my body,really I did,but it commenced to fornicating against my will,but you know honey we cannot abstain from sin,which is dumb for they could of chosen to do good,and not fornicated.
We are not forced to sin,and it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,and they can choose the good,for the option is there.
People that say we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with God,act as if they are being forced to sin for they cannot help but sin,but they can choose the good.
There is no excuse.
