This maturity cannot come in a moment by someone laying hands on a person. It requires learning and intense renewing of the mind from the epistles. |
Should we expect to be absolutely sinless to be saved?
It's my belief that we are "sinless" and "complete" in Christ alone. All of our imperfections are hidden in Him as long as we confess our condition and depend on His grace and mercy. Of course, a Christian shouldn't be living a sinful lifestyle. One preacher once said, "While Christians aren't 'sinless', Christians should 'sin less'."
