Sin is NOT what we say or do, it is an attitude of the heart (Mtt15:18-19). That is what the Holy Spirit through the Word of God convicts us of (Heb4:12). Is your heart always in an attitude of love, joy, peace forbearance, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control (Gal5:22) all the time? If we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves (Ddeed (2Cor5:17), seated in the heavenly realm (Eph2:6), we are saints (1Cor1:2) wearing white robes (Rev7:9), waiting to be liberated from this fallen world (Rom8:23) into the new one where there will be no more sin (Rev21:27).
Yet what I love most about this new world is not the absence of this sin that I abhor in myself, but the Presence of my Saviour (Rev21:22-23) who loved me and gave Himself up for me (Gal2:20).
Therefore since we are sinners made saints living in a sinful world waiting for the sinless one where our Saviour will live with us, let us put off the old self which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires in order to be made new in the attitude of our minds and hearts and to put on the new self, created to be like God in righteousness and holiness (Eph4:22-24), for this new creation, it is really who we are.
