Is a Sinless Life Possible? Is It Wrong to Strive for One? Come to Christ and Find Out ✝️
I will start by acknowledging my human limitations, with the understanding that I will more than likely sin again.
My spiritual journey has brought me to a place where sin is no longer part of my life. I thank God for that. I say this to inspire, not to brag. All I can boast about is God’s love for little, old, insignificant me. While a completely sinless life may be viewed as impossible, striving to live a morally good and virtuous life should be encouraged. In today’s day and age, it’s easier to admire a celebrity who talks about his love for Christ but whose actions say otherwise. We relate more with the sinner than with the virtuous ones because, well, sin is easy and believable. Righteousness is hard to believe because many of us have not put in the work it takes to reach such a connection with God. And dont give me that “you dont win your salvation through works talk.” I am talking about the work it takes to reach a spiritual level where you no longer want to hurt God because you love Him. Sin hurts God. Internalize that.
This striving promotes personal growth, ethical behavior, and spiritual development. It’s not wrong to aim for such a life; in fact, we should encourage it as a way to lead a fulfilling and meaningful existence. Understand that there is absolutely no way to receive such grace if we don’t ask for forgiveness and, once forgiven, remain obedient. The longer we remain sinless, the closer we come to God.
*Please re-read that last paragraph and meditate on it.
Hallelujah to the most high God
These hands are Yours teach them to serve as You please.
Jesus my soul rests in You. I know you are alive. You came to fix my broken life. I will forever glorify your Holy name.

Empezaré reconociendo mis limitaciones humanas, con la comprensión de que es muy probable que vuelva a pecar.
Mi viaje espiritual me ha llevado a un lugar donde el pecado ya no es parte de mi vida. Le agradezco a Dios por eso. Digo esto para inspirar, no para presumir. Todo lo que puedo alardear es del amor de Dios por este insignificante y pequeño yo. Aunque una vida completamente sin pecado puede ser vista como imposible, se debe alentar a esforzarse por vivir una vida moralmente buena y virtuosa. En los tiempos actuales, es más fácil admirar a una celebridad que habla de su amor por Cristo, pero cuyas acciones dicen lo contrario. Nos relacionamos más con el pecador que con los virtuosos porque, bueno, el pecado es fácil y creíble. La rectitud es difícil de creer porque muchos de nosotros no hemos puesto el esfuerzo necesario para alcanzar una conexión tan profunda con Dios.
Este esfuerzo promueve el crecimiento personal, el comportamiento ético y el desarrollo espiritual. No está mal aspirar a una vida así; de hecho, deberíamos fomentarlo como una forma de llevar una existencia plena y significativa. Entiende que no hay absolutamente ninguna manera de recibir tal gracia si no pedimos perdón y, una vez perdonados, permanecemos obedientes. Cuanto más tiempo permanezcamos sin pecar, más cerca estaremos de Dios.
*Por favor, vuelve a leer ese último párrafo y medítalo.
Aleluya al Dios altísimo

✝️ You’ll come like You always do. My Faithful Friend. You have softened my heart and I love You for that. You are the sweetest man to ever have existed. You spoke about love and you taught me to pray for my enemies. Without You I dont even know how to love. I love You God. Thank You for never once leaving me alone. You are truly the definition of #Faithful

Here (in the comment section) I will hold myself accountable. Last night, I sinned. I become a glutton. Proverbs 23:2 (KJV): “And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.” Did you guys even know that was a verse in the bible? This is why I urge all of you to study the bible in its entirety and meditate on every verse. Don’t just memorize your favorite verses and repeat them over and over because then you are nothing more than a parrot. True transformation comes from studying the bible verses that bring your character into question the ones that will help you change and mold into the image God has of you. Back to my sin. My wife and I were under stress because of a very important thing we needed to do. I dont do well with stress. She did great, what an inspiration to see God work in her. I on the other hand pigged out. Ordered a pizza, ate two pints of ice cream and even had a Hershey’s white chocolate bar. I ate it all. This morning I prayed and worshipped and the Lord forgave me. But what a lesson learned. I pray that God may help me with this flawed part of my character so that I may become a better version of myself and a better example of what a Christian should be. Much love brothers and sisters, Your brother in Christ, Lazarus

The devil has been attacking me viciously since I made this video. I have been sleep deprived because of this. I have sinned because I acted out of character with my wife. 1 Peter 3:7 (KJV): “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” My prayers have indeed been hindered and I have since lost some clarity. The devil knows this and has used it as an opportunity to exploit my weakness’. The sins I have committed are of the mind, I have let it wander into dark places on the internet on those sleepless nights. And it wasn’t worth it. It never is. The devil is a liar. I say all this to you so you can see my faults (in real time) but now my days are spent locked up in room, repenting, praying for forgiveness, praising and worshipping the Lord. Reading the bible, my devotional and having a lot more conversations with God. I lost it ya’ll I had a real strong connection with God and just like that it’s broken into pieces and I now have to build it back up, put it back together piece by piece. Maybe God will do it faster than I think. Then again it may take the entire year. Therein lies the biggest problem with sin, that we hurt God and the devil likes that. We don’t hurt those we love. Before I made this video it had been months where I hadn’t sinned and it felt so good. Don’t sin brothers and sisters it’s just not worth it.

Yesterday I lied. I lied because of an insecurity of mine and selfish desire of mine. I lied and it felt terrible. I felt out of sorts the entire day, night and even now. I willfully lied. This morning I asked for forgiveness. The greatest feeling in the world is being in tune with God’s presence, to be walking with Christ to be led by The Holy Spirit. There is nothing better and you cannot experience that if you are sinning without repentance. It’s crazy I made this video and God humbled me right away after not sinning for a long time I sinned 3 times in two weeks. Lord forgive me for I am a weak man. I am nothing without you. With you I am at peace. Keep me in a state of peace, keep me in your garden Lord. That safe place is all I want. Your presence, our secret place is what I value most in life.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and I drank. This after promising God I wouldn’t. This really ate me up on the inside. I asked for forgiveness and prayed. I read scripture and praised and worshipped the Lord. This quote by Josemaria Escriva provided solace and comfort, it goes like this… “The Struggle is the sign of Holiness. A Saint is a sinner that keeps trying.” * Josemaria Escriva is a Saint. Today is his feast day. Doesn’t the Lord work in magnificent ways.
Not only is it possible but we have great examples of Saints all throughout history. Living a sinless life is rejecting the word and obeying God.

Yes indeed. For its been written … Hebrews 12:1-2 talks about the example of those who have lived holy lives: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” We exist, the problem with the world today is that the devil has deceived us to the point where holiness is false and unattainable.

You’re welcome. We, the church, must work to purify ourselves. For it’s been written Revelation 19:7-8: “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.). I appreciate your comment. God bless.
Feel you brother by the grace of God i should of been in prison for years but through God he didn't permit me to get caught by the law
