When we allow grace to work through us, we will NOT sin. However, we will not always allow grace to work through us. <br /><br />We all have sinned. The measure of righteousness is NOT that we not sin. If this was the case, NO ONE would be righteous. God cares about how we RESPOND to the sin in our life. Are you trying to grow? If so, this means that you are progressing in removing the flesh in your life through sanctification.<br /><br />How do you respond to sin?Joel Swokowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749301472244111920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024041099418883138.post-58145992654691375332014-08-30T09:17:49.828-05:002014-08-30T09:17:49.828-05:0021 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, th...21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.<br /><br />In many places in the Bible now I have read that the righteous or those that follow God will 'not sin'...this confuses me because they (we) still sin, no one is perfect - in this context does it mean those people who worship God and not idols? Does it mean that they try to live according to God's laws? I'm having trouble with this concept.BM 0220https://www.blogger.com/profile/00818597053691237975noreply@blogger.com
