I have to admit I love posting after Jason.  He asks two pointed questions - am I aware of the Love of God? and am I born again?.

I came across a quote recently from Leonard Ravenhill. He was talking about Sin and he said the following.

“It’s not the ability to never sin again, it’s the ability not to sin. It makes all the difference in the world.”

I just wanted to see what everyone thinks about sin. How often does a person that has accepted Christ sin? Do you think that at a certain point you can be sinless in this life? These are things I’ve been wondering.

4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins; and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has seen him or knows him.

Need Input.  I am currently writing on Curses.  In Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
 
However, Jesus Christ freed us from having to do observance of Mosaic Law in our own lives.  This didn’t negate curses.  Jesus Christ was our substitute and was our remedy for curses however, there are still curses today that can be placed on people without their knowing, and people can bring upon themselves curses as well by the things they say. 
 
There can also be curses on property, soveniers, money, and personal possessions and we can take on curses from accursed things.
 
We have been taught justification for our sins.  That God sees them no more.  Just as if I never sinned.    But if this is true then why do we still suffer consequences many times for sin in our lives today.
 
I am not sure where to post this on your blog.  I would however, like your input and others.
