Sin Has No Dominion. . .

We as Christians have no right to think that sin is still a part of our lives. If we even think for an instant that we cannot live a life completely free from sin, we are doubting what Jesus did for us. We are no longer under law, but under grace. You have probably heard the term "We are poor old sinners saved by grace." So what makes this statement wrong? We were poor old sinners, but since we have been saved by grace we are no longer sinners; we have been made righteous. That is why sin has no dominion over you. The devil will try and attack you, try and tempt you, but thanks to the promises of our Lord and Savior, God promises a way out. So remember this, you are no longer a sinner. You are the righteousness of God!!!!!

Scripture Reading 1 John 3:4-12, Romans 6:14

I disagree. Unfortunately, we each "sin" daily. We're human. What is more important is that we accept our humanity and try to be the best example to ourselves and others each day that we live here on earth.

I get both points and think you are both right. It's one of the great dichotomies of God's truth. We are at the same time both still mired in sin as well as righteous in God's eyes because He sees us through Christ's atonement. We have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved- all at the same time.
