I was taught all my Christian life that Christians have to sin a little everyday. We have no choice, no matter what, we will commit sin everyday, because we are "sinners." What a wonderful day when the Lord Jesus opened my eyes! I was truly powerless against sin in my life before I became a Christian. But when Jesus came to live inside me, He became my strength and power over sin. Oh, don't get me wrong, we all still have "sin potential" inside us. If anyone says he does not have the "possibility" to commit sin, he is a liar, but we don't have to yield to temptation, we can just say "No." If it were any other way, then the gospel we preach would be absolutely worthless. If the power of Jesus in me, was not greater than the power of sin and death, then what would it be good for? He lives in me, and Paul said, "I died." Thus a dead man has no struggle against sin, for sin has no more power over him. Jesus lives in me, and thru me and I live by the life of the Spirit-life within, and Jesus has no "sin problem." I let Him live and be my strength, and I stay dead where sin has no more dominion over me. If you told a man every day he could not do something until you finally convinced him, he would be defeated by his own belief. If you believe "religion" then you are powerless over sin, but if you believe the Word of God..."Then how can you being dead live in sin any longer?" "Go and sin no more!" Be blessed.
