Sinfreeness is Possible

SINFREENESS IS POSSIBLE

​The truth of the Scriptures teaches that Salvation is by Grace alone. The act of a man being born again, justified, receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit in the heart, made sinfree is a supernatural act, done by God alone. For none can remove the carnal mind from himself. John 3:5,6, (Galatians 3:3-9,14, Galatians 4:6) Romans 8:33, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
The question is what is sin? Nothing in the scriptures shows that sin is a nature. However, we are told that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  Romans 6:23.

1. Sin is something that is done, therefore it is not the nature of man. “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.”  1 Samuel 15:24
2. Sin is not the nature of man; it is breaking the commandments of God. “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 John 3:4
3. Sin is anti-God behaviour for God is righteous. Whether in thoughts, word or actions. “All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.” 1 John 5:18. “In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.” “O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces…” Daniel 9:7 Emphasis supplied. 
4. Sin is faithless actions.  “And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” Romans 14:23
5. Sin is failure to do that which is good.” Therefore, to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

Jesus explains that sin begins in the mind of man, therefore this is what must be addressed. “And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:20-23
  The Word of God shows that God, in making man sinfree, God crucifies the old man or the old way of thinking or the carnal mind. This science of how God makes a man sinfree Paul says we should know, lest we think God cannot make the comer to Him perfect. “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6. We are told that when this work of crucifying the old man is done, that the body of sin or the perverted emotions are deactivated, that henceforth the man will not serve sin. This and many other ways the plan of salvation is described in the Bible.  Certainly, this is God making the penitent sinfree since the mind that has sinful values is put to death and the lusts found in the body are inactivated.  What are you telling me, this work is too hard for God to do? Certainly not! For he that is dead is freed from sin. Romans 6:7
Man needs to maintain this gift of sinfreeness by co-operating with God.  He must obey the conviction of the Holy Spirit. “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, [ sinfreeness] not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” 1 Philippians 2:12,13.  If the man fails to maintain his sinfreeness given to him by God, he must go to Christ to restore him again that he sins not. “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”1 John 2:1.  The point is whether the person experiences justified abiding sinfreeness (punctuated sinfreeness) or sanctified all-times sinfreeness, sinfreeness is possible in this present world, in this body.
