Shall we sin? (Roman 6:15-16)

[MikkoAinasoja]

15. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. 16. Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:15-16)

So like our dear brother Paulos writes, that even we are under the grace, we can not do sin, because if we give our self to sin, we are servant of the sin, and we serve sin for death.

But if we give our selves to obedience, it is for righteousness, and for eternal life in the Lord Messiah Yeshua.

On this earth, in this form, we will always be sinners saved by grace. One must look at what sin is. Do you ever overeat? The sin of gluttony. Do you ever speak ill about another? Gossip. Do you ever lie about anything? Do you ever not put in a full day of work, even while at work? That's stealing.

We are under this false belief that we never sin again once we are saved, but this isn't true, and this isn't what this verse is alluding to, either. This verse is telling us that we should no longer sin for the sake of sinning. In other words, when someone says, "I'll do this today and repent tomorrow." We are no longer slave to sin, but we are still sinners in a fallen world. We are empowered by Christ, but we are not perfect and we never will be this side of heaven. All we can do is put on the armor of God each day, spend time reading God's word and praying and worshiping, and making sure we repent and look for any hidden sins in our hearts.

It is in this understanding that we are all still sinners that we will have grace for others, for once we assume that we have arrived at a place of perfection, who can we relate to and who can relate to us? A church full of pompous people believing they no longer sin is not God's intent. Churches are for the broken sinners saved by grace and consumed by love of Christ, thus loving others and being merciful and compassionate to the broken around them.

 

[MikkoAinasoja]

I don't do sin anymore.

It is false doctrine of today that we can't live without sin, because we can, and we must, if we wish to get in to life.

The one who still sin, is a servant of sin.

Do not deceive your selves, by false doctrines of today, and remember, that the falling away must come before our Lord, and this kind of doctrines are part of that falling away, the doctrines that we must sin.

And yes, you can live without committing sin.
