If Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?

Question

(credit to: Jules Feiffer)

Answer 1

“Through one man [Adam, the first human] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men.” (Romans 5:12)

Answer 2

What should we say then?
Should we continue in sin in order that grace may multiply?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.

Romans 6:1

Answer 3

Actually, I be live that you are quoting an attitude proposed by Martin Luther.

In actuality, it goes against plain Biblical teaching:

Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!

Answer 4

That wasactually the belief of one ofthe old gnostic groups It was argued against by many early Christian leaders including Paul.

Answer 5

His blood paid a price. our sin has a cost. If we could stop sinning his blood would cover the tab we ourselves created. the Blood of Jesus paid a debt we all ready owed.

Answer 6

We don't have to try to commit sin. There is none good, not one.

Answer 7

If someone paid your debt, would you be grateful and thankful or just want to ring up more debt.

Answer 8

Feel absolutely free to try. Unfortunately, you (just like the rest of us) are only human and are doomed to utter failure on this one. Prove it to yourself....just try to go thirty days without a single sin. Let me know how it goes!

Answer 9

But christians think that we are born sinners because two people ate god's apple 6000 years ago.

So god is angry with us still.

Answer 10

Is that why so many Christians are such sinners?
