"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8). I think this verse goes for every day of my life, that is, I don't ever dare to think I have had such a good day that I can say I have not sinned that day. Actually, according to scripture it is inappropriate for any of us to attempt to acquit ourselves of sin at any time or for any period of time during this life. The apostle Paul once said, "My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God" (1 Corinthians 4:4-5).

We have verses that remind us that we have inherited the capacity to sin at any moment. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me" (Psalms 51:5). or, "Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me" (Psalms 51:5).

We also have a verse that warns us of the deceitfulness of our old sinful nature, which in a sense is warning us of the potential, if not the likelihood, of daily sin. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9). Even the apostle Paul was frustrated with his own lack of control over indwelling sin. "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members" (Romans 7:22-23). Solomon knew full well that he and all men had not only the potential for sin, but that we all exercise that capacity routinely. As he stated in his prayer at the dedication of the temple, "... If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) ..... " (1 Kings 8:46). And again in the book of Ecclesiastes, "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not" (Ecclesiastes 7:20). Again, while these verses do not unequivocally indicate daily sin, they certainly warn us against the pride of saying at any moment that we have no sin.
"Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him" (Luke 17:3-4). Note that in these verses Jesus is teaching the virtue (actually the command) of having a forgiving spirit, even in the case of repetitive sin. If the case is such that man is so inclined toward sin that he might sin against his brother seven times in a day, is it not likely that he has the capacity to sin against his God in the same way? The good news is that as Jesus teaches us forgiveness of repetitive, even multiple daily sins, by His very life and death He models that same forgiveness. Surely He would not command us to do what He would not do Himself.

When we have fully reawakened our eternal love for the eternal Supreme God then we will no longer be tempted by sin.
