Is It Possible To Live Without Sin? by DrGboy(m): 8:24am On Aug 18, 2013
Considering the high degree of pervertness and immorality in the world today, I really ask myself if it is actually possible to live a completely sinless life at least even for a month ( without jealousy, contempt, lies, bitterness , anger e.t.c)

I wonder if it is actually possible ?

It is possible and it has to be ,for anyone that wants to make heaven.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:48
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect".

The Bible also says in Hebrews 12:14
"Follow peace with all men , and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord".

The way out is to do away with the works of the flesh and allow the Holy Spirit to control your life as we can read in Galatians 5:19-21
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [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."

When you bcome born again and you are determined to follow Gods conmandments, although it is not easy, the fruits of the Holy Spirit will manifest in your life and you will be able to make heaven as written in
Galatians 5:22-24
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts".

It is a matter of determination, except someone who has decided not to make heaven.

Babiloko: dnt tink its possible...even d bible said '4 al hv sinned n fall short ov his glory'...nd it also say's in anurda portion 'nt 1 is free 4rm sin, no nt 1'

Very obvious you don't understand simple verse of the bible.

The bible says All have "sinned" and fall short of the glory of god' The word sinned' is obviously past tense, the bible is simply telling us we have sinned at least once in our life not that we will continue to sin.

The bible says There is none righteous, no not one(rom 3:10), this scripture including subsequent verses were only pointing how we were sinners in the past and that we need a saviour, note it says "it is written there is none righteous..." these verses were simply describing the past.

As christians, the fact remains that we are to live without sin as long as we have not fallen short of God's grace that helps us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.

A christian is dead to sin and alive to holiness, the death and resurrection of Jesus being the emblem of this, so many scriptures makes us know that "He that sinneth hasn't known christ, is of the devil..etc.

Yes, we make mistakes at times and fall into sin by our carelessness. But that doesn't mean its imposible to live without sin, so many other people are not living their life carelessly that may lead to sin, the bible says "flee every appearance of evil", some of us don't and that's why we fall into sin but some experienced christians do know the consequence, that's why we should all grow from being a babe in christ to grown up men and women.

It is possible to live without sin by the help of the Holy spirit as long as you remain obedient to his leading, not everyone is sinning, irrespective of the worldliness in our generation, God who helped the apostles still remains the same and is capable of helping us too, you need faith that you will overcome temptation no matter the situation and environment, without this faith, everyone will continue to reason like the op, saying we can't live without sin is simply under-rating the power of the Holy spirit.

"Be ye perfect even as your heavenly father in heaven is perfect(matt 5:last verse)
"Be ye holy, for i am holy"
"Shall we continue in sin that grace may aboud, God forbid"

Definitely at that time, the past unless it would contradict the sinless life of Jesus.

Imanuelle: Religion is never a problem , but when it becomes a threat to human lives, it should be frowned upon.
Dear Pastor Lazarus, I have always marveled at the zeal with which your members fly their flags and rep you., one of your top gear-flag-flying busses knocked down a friend of mine. He is presently in the mortuary.
What exactly do we call this sort of madness?
I am short of words on what to tell you. But I am so pissed !
It's a shame . You are supposed to be good examples.
THE LORD's CHOSEN has caused this mess!
RIP chinemerem!

As a Christian, I say no. As a deist, yes, since the concept of sin is foolishness to me now (despite some truth). To the extent we fall short of our expectations or as Paul eloquently described in the NT I acknowledge humanity's sin.
