As a christian, is it possible NOT to sin?

Answer 1

No. Just because you are a Christian doesn't make you immune from sin. It also doesn't mean that you can go out and sin like crazy, either despite the fact that your past sins are erased.

Christians must behave like Christians to prove to be a positive example to the world.

Answer 2

Yes it is possible, but let me explain. It is possible to live your whole life without sinning, because with each sin we have the choice to sin or not to sin, 1 Corinthians 10:13. God also when He created gave us this ability. If God made us so that we are promised to sin, then how can He judge us if God made the rules that He knew we couldn't follow.
Now here is the catch. Although we can choose to never sin, we all have chosen to sin, Romans 3:23. Everyone had a choice at some time in which they choose the path to sin. Because of this we are in need of Jesus to die for us, vs 24-25. Jesus was able to do this for us because He became a man just like us and lived without sinning!
Note, that once we have the blood of Christ it is possible to stop sinning, not probable, but possible, Philippians 4:13.

Answer 3

As Christians we have accepted Jesus Christ into our lives, that means The Holy Spirit Dwells within us, we have Repented, turned away from our sins and ask forgiveness, but we still fall short of the glory of God, we are not perfected, we are still in this sinful world, We can still fall, the difference is we will be immediately convicted of that sin, and we will know what we done is wrong, we will work on it, confess it and turn away, It takes work, It is gonna be a struggle, but for God we should be willing. Look what Jesus Did for us, so that we would be saved, you cannot lose your salvation, but you will only have it when you are genuine in asking and repenting.

Answer 4

Yes. Because we have died to sin. (Romans 6) As one becomes more and more led by the Spirit and less and less lead by the flesh you will sin less. As you mature in Christ you become more and more like Jesus who is in fact sinless. So as you mature you SHOULD sin less and less. If you are not sinning less then you are not maturing.

I don't think we will ever achieve that state of perfection. But we are called to be imitators of God. (eph. 5). And God would not command us to do something that we could not do. You can go days without sinning. But I am not sure what the "record" would be. I think if we try to keep a tally on how many sinless days we have then maybe we are really missing the point. We simply need to be simply led by the Spirit and do His will.

Answer 5

As a christian and a human I do sin...I am far from perfect. I do try each and every day to be a better person though.

Answer 6

Well first ask yourself, what all is considered a sin. Then you will realize that almost everything that is a sin is human nature in the first place. So can you avoid being human? No.

Answer 7

THE rule of king death has brought not only physical havoc upon the human race, but mental and moral havoc as well. Besides the gnarled joints, bent backs, impaired nervous systems and hundreds of afflictions that crowd thousands of hospitals, there is the lack of self-control, the practice of injustice, immorality and the general unbalance of man’s attributes. Satan has caused man’s instinctive desire to worship to be turned from the Creator to the creature. “Although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things.” (Rom. 1:21-23, NW) According to their degree of civilization men still worship such things as the sun, fire, images, money, property or themselves and organizations of men. In the place of unqualified love for ‘God’ first, and love of neighbor second, Satan has planted selfishness, fear, greed and hate. By one master stroke, in inducing our first parents to sin, the adversary made sin to rule as king with death. From then on all have been sinners, they have fallen short of God’s glory, and missed the mark of perfect obedience.

Answer 8

Of course it is! I am an Atheist (and don't believe in sin) but I can tell ya that I don't "sin" either. Hell, I'm a better Christian than many... I don't drink, smoke, do any drugs, and I don't have promiscuous sex. That's more than I can say for a lot of believers.

Anyone can NOT sin. It's called will-power. Problem with believers is, they know they can still sin, seek forgiveness, and still be accepted into heaven. So heaven is really a place full of sinful believers and hell is full of honest non-believers. *shrugs*

Answer 9

Yes but it is a growing process

1Ki 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Jhn 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Jhn 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Phl 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
