Practice makes perfect. It isn't about practicing. It's about the mental gymnastics one must go through in order to rationalize or justify sinning in the first place. One need only consider it in their heart to become guilty before God. Practicing only spotlights how eager the carnal mind is to rush headlong to damnation.Heb 10:26--There is no sacrifice left for any who practice a sin.
Only under the Old Testament. The bible doesn't say that all things are possible with God except keeping his law. God promises to place his law within the hearts of his new creation; a creation that CANNOT sin. The entire purpose of the law placed within the new creation is so that they can keep it perfectly "by faith, not by works lest anyone boast"Jesus teaches the same at Matt 7:22-23- one who works iniquity( lawlessness)= a practice of a sin.
It is Grace even to those who do their very best because they still sin in small ways.
False. Look at what it actually states: " “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."They do not do these sins-1Cor 6:9-11, or Gal 5:19-21--both spots are clear, if one practices one of these sins--they will not enter Gods kingdom.
John 14:15-24--obeying Jesus is proof of ones love for him.
Keeping the commandments is proof that the Spirit of truth dwells within. This is what allows one to love in the first place and subsequently keep God's commandments perfectly.
The only way one can do that is by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Those who are begotten from above are a new creation created for good works. They cannot sin, and to claim that they can only spotlights that your new testament is no better than the old. No one is tempted beyond their ability to resist. Those who succumb to temptation must first rationalize or justify that they can't keep God's law which Jesus points out is "an abomination" (Luke 16:15)And he taught--Man does not live by bread alone, but by EVERY utterance from God--- he meant it. He meant everything he taught.
The only way one can do that is by studying Gods word regularly, it never ends.
