Do We Sin Every Day?

2 Peter 1:3-11!

Paul taught that if we walk in the Spirit we can overcome the flesh, that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. So the answer is in walking in the Spirit.

The blood of Christ cleanseth us from sin. It's an ongoing process. If we do sin i.e. transgress the laws and commands of God .... we can ask forgiveness and He is faithful, just and willing to forgive us. Thank God for His mercy, grace and love and for the blood that was shed that we can avail ourselves of.

Awesome scripture, sir, and timely as well!



2 Peter 1:3-11:

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
