The Christian life is a process of becoming more and more like Christ. This process will not be complete until we see Christ face to face. But knowing that it is our ultimate destiny should motivate us to purify ourselves. To keep pure means to keep morally straight, free from the corruption of sin. God also purifies us, but there is action we must take to remain morally fit.
There is a difference between committing a sin and continuing to sin. Even the most faithful believers sometimes commit sins, but they do not cherish a particular sin and choose to commit it. A believer who commits a sin repents, confesses and finds forgiveness. A person who continues to sin, by contrast is not sorry for what he or she is doing. Thus, this person never confesses and never receives forgiveness. Such a person is in opposition to God, no matter what religious claims he or she makes.

i'm atheist...I heavily dont recognize. I have a tendency to experience like existence is possibly an phantasm. each and every thing thats alive appears basically as mechanical as a stone, from a regular attitude. the perfect i can do about defining existence is construct a large arbitrary set of gadgets, call it existence, and confirm what i throw into this set and what i leave outdoors of it. because I cant confirm what property is straightforward to all existence. i'd experience like a computing device that convinces me it really is sentient will be a technique of existence. regardless of the indisputable fact that it would violate the organic and organic 'definition'. one problem that looks mandatory for existence...yet not adequate...is that it exists in a state someplace between order and chaos...as an party music is between a unmarried note and white noise...a whirlpool is between ice and gas. All existence appears composed of aspects that can artwork mutually with eachother is a few complicated way...and somewhat too a lot order or too a lot chaos breaks the interation and motives death.

Very good question.
I can say it is not always about my success or failure in behaving or acting like a christian.
It is in accepting the truths given to us From God through Jesus. It is allowing the Holy Spirit to lead in our life.

Basically, it means living a righteous life in a godly way, by bearing witness to Christ in what we say, and in what we do.
