The Bible does not call Christians sinners, but refers to them as saints. We have been set free from sin, delivered from sin, redeemed from sin, and have victory over sin, we have deliverance and freedom through Jesus Christ. Thats a message of hope to those in bondage. The last thing I would ever preach is, You sin and you cant help it. Youre always going to sin. Not even Jesus can deliver you from sinning. There is no hope for you in this life regarding freedom from sin. Then, the gospel is reduced to a license to sin, a means through which a person can be saved from hell while not being saved from their sins. But the primary objective of the atonement was to purify us from our sins, to cleanse us from our sins, make us zealous for good works, and to live unto Jesus instead of ourselves, to reveal the glory of the Father to this world. It is through the atonement that we love Him and when we love Him we will keep His commandments. Jesus Himself told us to go and sin no more and be ye therefore perfect. This is the fruit meet for repentance. Are you willing to risk an eternity in torment by listening to man explain away the truth and in many ways just plain lie like the devil so you will feel good in your sin? Its your choice, but God does not wink at sin. Remember that many men will try to explain away the word of God to suit their desires and say it really means something other than what is written, But again what does the word of God say? We are no longer servants of sin, but servants to righteousness. If a preacher is not preaching live sinless then they are inevitably preaching live sinful. There is no middle ground. The aim of our life is either to live free from sin or else we are consenting to living sinful lives. The Grace of God that brings salvation is His Spirit, His enabling power working in us, helping us to live completely free from sin. < Joey Felts
