if you could quit sinning would you and if you could would you be willing to know how?

Question

this is a serious question i want to know if anyone out there ever wished or wondered if they could quit sinning and stay saved.

Answer 1

We are not sinners because we sin--we sin because we are sinners (according to Romans 6:23). Since not sinning is not a matter of what we do but who we are (or rather what Christ can make us), to answer your question, the only way we can stop sinning is by choosing to let Christ change our hearts and for us to persist in our faith. And if we choose not to do so, nothing we do will matter in the end. What it boils down to is whether we choose what God wants or what we want. What we decide about that will determine whether we remain in our sin or whether our sin is wiped away.

Answer 2

I am human so I know I will always be sinning. But if I could be given a special grace to quit sinning would I quit? Yes. But maybe this would mean I would cease being human or become something more special. Mary and Jesus were human. They never sinned aside from them, I think all of us sin. But it would be nice not to offend God. Maybe that would make me really happy. I would want to know how to avoid sinning. I know we have to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect but to be perfect or holy is hard but I guess it is worth the try.

Answer 3

Define what a sin is. Some say that a sin is anything against the will of God. But whose God? To me a sin is anything that causes harm to another. Some things Christians consider sins, I don't because they cause no harm to anyone. So, in order to answer your question, I need to know what you mean by sin.

Answer 4

Yes, of course I would and believe me there are many people out there who would want to know how to quit sinning. Once when a person understands the seriousness of sin, he or she will stop at once. Its all about knowing God better, his graces and his power. If anyone starts reading the prophecies about the end of the world and seriously believes that it is true, he/she will definetly not want to suffer the eternal fire of hell but would want to enjoy a glorious life with God.

Answer 5

As long as we reside in this human body which is made of flesh we will continue to sin. The only way to remain saved is daily and continuous sanctification and justification through Jesus Christ. Which means we humble go before God each day or whenever we sin, repent and ask for and receive forgiveness.

Answer 6

We cannot quit sinning. This is more difficult than to quit smoking. Smoking is already a sin among millions of other sinful things.
However, we better try to willingly avoid to do anything which we consciously realize to be wrong. This personal struggle causes us to become better than our own self daily. It seems that we cannot make ourself perfect, we just try our best to make ourself better. And because of this, we cannot think that the world will become perfect, but it may become better with our improvement.
Even this effort to become better is also very difficult. So we need the support of reading divine words of wisdom, prayers, meditation, self-discipline, collective work of charity, and perhaps a healthy environment among respecful friends...

Answer 7

You cannot quit sinning. You can be saved from sin, and be given power over sin. But if it was possible to quit sinning, we wouldn't need Jesus. I will guarantee you I can prove everyman, save Jesus Christ has sinned and still sins.

Answer 8

...And stay saved? You mean to tell me that Jesus did not provide a complete salvation, that it is up to me to stay saved?
...That speaks volumes.
...Jesus keeps me safe and secure (see John 10:27-30).
...FYI - when He said "It is finished" that was a marketplace term, meaning "the debt is paid" and "paid in full".
...Our works are nothing but filthy rags. I will trust in Jesus alone for my salvation.

Answer 9

Dear Friend,

Unfortuntely, it will not be possible for us to stop sinning until our Lord Jesus comes to remove all sin from us,

Consider the following scripture:

Romans 5:Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— 13for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. 14Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.

Because Adam ate the fruit from the tree, he bacame imperfect, and as we are his decendents so are we.

Even the in the book of Romans

Romans 7:Struggling With Sin
7What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."[b] 8But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead. 9Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
11For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good. 13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

Even the Apostle Paul struggled with Sin. But to answer your question, We can be free of sin by renouncing it and turning to Christ as saviour and King, but until he returns, our Sin shall remain in us.

God Bless

"And you being evil ..." See: Matthew chapter 7 verse 11, for perspective on the "good" in human beings, as dictated by Jesus Christ.
