Let's make this clear, A Christian should do ALL he can to live a sinless life.
The question is, Can he do it?
John 1:29.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
This is the penalty of sin!
Christ was the perfect sinless offering, God wouldn't take no less than the perfect sacrifice.
That's the only sacrifice that could be offered!
Who offered this perfect Lamb? God. John 3:16.
Would Jesus be the Lamb of God if he fell short and only committed one sin but did his best? No! It had to be perfect from the time he was born until his death on the cross.
Jesus didn't inherit a sin nature as a son from Adam as we.
Jesus was begotten of the Father!
This was a display of love from God in offering up his own son.
We can't offer up a sinless life in these sinful bodies.
Yes, we can do our best and have a good report in what we do in the body,
But we can never get from under the cover of the blood of Christ.
You could never make atonement for yourself and come to the Lord "NAKED"!
This is shown in Exodus 19:11-25.
No matter how well you do or how spiritual you are when you die you will not be sown incorruptible.
However, you will be SOWN IN CORRUPTION; SOWN IN DISHONOUR; And SOWN IN WEAKNESS;
When you are raised, you will be RAISED IN INCORRUPTION, RAISED IN GLORY, AND RAISED IN POWER:
Then you will cast off this body of sin and Death is swallowed up in victory. 1 Corinthians 15:42-43.
Question;
Is doing your best enough for salvation?
If you do your best all your life "as most of us do" However, commit one sin, are we saved?
No matter how much good we do we can never be good enough to earn salvation, Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." No matter how many good works we do we can never atone for our own sins. So what can we do? Romans 10:13 gives the answer "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.".doing our best is not and never will be enough for salvation, only faith in Jesus Christ can save us from our sins! God bless
