Its not possible, ,sinning is a thing of the mind.. although there are some you can control , there are some you cant ..

Mind you, hoping to stop sinning by your own strength is a sin on it own.

Sin, can be defined as breaking God's rule and command. you can go a day without sinning through training and discipline always trusting on the grace of God. may He help us.

Lots of us go through the day without sinning. For the thought of sin in itself further doubt your beliefs.

Sleeping and dreaming of unholy things is not sin. Not thinking about sin makes you free.

You are a Christian because you believe in justification not because you're sin-proof but because you believe in Jesus Christ.

And as you know, whenever you commit any sin, it's no sin at-all. Even the sin you haven't committed yet is no sin at-all. God forgave you already. So, why even think about sin when you don't have any? This is called Grace.

But as the bible says, we can't continue or purposefully sinning and expect great result in our lives. Bible further says that we change from one level to another level through our conscious effect in order to be perfect.

If you want perfection, you have to be in Christ. AND PERFECTION can only be achieved when you make effort to live good.

Please read Rom 6:1-23, i have outlined a few verses to help you understand better:

{6:1} What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? {6:2} God forbid.

{6:12} Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. {6:13} Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God...

{6:14} For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under GRACE. {6:15} (NB: your personal effort cannot help you, you need to pray to God for his grace, after you must have given your life to God)

{6:23} For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus Christ is our perfect example, he came to this world in the form of a human being to show us that we can indeed live a life free from sin, study the life of Jesus in the new testament & you will appreciate it better.

NO. It is not possible for these two reasons: (1) Our imaginations and thoughts and what we use our sense organs to do. (2)Our Lord Jesus taught us how to pray daily which goes thus: ''Our Father who art in heaven,hallow be thy Name,thy Kingdom come,thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day,our daily bread,and forgive us our TRESPASSES,as we forgive those who TRESPASS against us,and lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from all evil.'' Trespasses in the foregoing prayer means sin.It does not mean we should be commiting sin deliberately.

Then why did Jesus come, He came to save us from sin.

For there is no man righteous that keeps doing good and does not sin.(eccl 7:20). If we make the statement "We have no sin"we are misleading ourselves and the truth is not in us(1 john 1:cool(read ps 51:5). Do these verses do justice to your question?

Yes, if only you learn to accommodate the word of God in your HEART on a daily basis. Look at what the Psalmist says in Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Please, I will appreciate it if you can enumerate the sins you can control and the sins you can never control. Thank you.

Different Thoughts coming to your mind, consciously or unconsciously are often uncontrollable .
Yesterday , I was plaiting my hair. A guy passed by holding a lady's waist, and immediately I thought 'look at this ones, rubbish' but what if they are siblings? I was unable to control that thought at the moment .and so I condemned those two.
Lies also..

Stealing,indescent dressing are quite controllable.. you know its bad and so you don't do it.. but the e.g I gave above, the thought (which i was unable to control)came to my mind immediately based on what I saw..so thereby, committing a sin.

1. For one, what is your understanding of what sin is? That is usually where people don't get it at all and so that lack of knowledge sets them up to fail even before they begin to understand as far as God. Sin is disobedience of God's direct commandments, transgression of God's very Law to you. What that means is that you first need to be under God's Law before you can even imagine yourself a sinner by that Law. God's Law to us is Jesus Christ, the agreement/Covenant promised by God through His Prophets and as Jesus Christ made clear in His Law, it is only those who obey His commandments that belong to Him meaning that those who refuse to obey His commandments, though they claim to believe in Him, sin against Him in their disobedience of Him. undecided

Now, in the Gospels, the New Covenant and Law in the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ gave His followers about 100 teachings and commandments which He urged them to live in continuous submission and obedience to in order to be made righteous by the standard that is the Gospel, promising that those who stand faithful until the end will be saved - Matthew 24 vs 12 - 13 & Mark 13 vs 13 undecided

2. So, is it possible to go a day without sinning? Absolutely! You have less than 100 rules to abide by, so why not. All that is required is you learn to live by one rule at a time and iterate through the rules as many times a minute as you need to in order to develop a sense of understanding of what they are and when to apply them in your life. Before you know it, you will find yourself no longer disobeying but actually living in obedience to the rules, and that is how you grow to know the Truth of God — the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ — and are set free by the Truth from slavery to sin - John 8 vs 31 - 36. undecided
