Re: True or False: Grace is harder than Law

i think maybe we are dealing with two separate arguments here, and the difference in "I have never sinned"--which only applies to Christ--and "Be Holy, as I am Holy," which indicates that one can in fact "sin no more" is not being kept apart.

Go, and sin no more.
but this seems to be impossible, at least for me!
My Grace is sufficient. Admit your sin to whom you have offended, and ask forgiveness, and you will be forgiven.

so we are going around a lot about the "impossibility" of not sinning--which is true for any single entire life, from birth, but not true from this moment on, or else Go and sin no more and Be Holy are just the babblings of madmen, a cosmic joke, perhaps--and disregarding that sin is atoned for, if one can just accept that they have sinned and admit it out loud, and ask forgiveness, which is the "impossible" part for many people, which imo is (at least a cousin to) why not sinning is being portrayed as "impossible" here.

If you are truly repentant and confessing every time you commit a sin, and having to humble yourself and ask forgiveness, you are going to stop committing that sin at some point; this is the essence of Grace--and if you are not doing any one of these things, you are in denial, and you can plead the blood of Christ all you like, that is not Grace, that is just some words to make you feel better about not confessing, and you are going to hear I never knew you someday, imo.
