 Yesterday somebody told me that a true Christian should never sin. Are they right? No, I don't think he's right at all. That's actually a false belief called sinless perfectionism. Yes, Christians should seek to follow God and run from sin, but we're not perfect. The apostle Paul came face to face with this tension in Romans when he said, For I do not do the good I want, and the evil I do not want to do, I keep doing. Okay, but if we still sin sometimes, what did Jesus even accomplish on the cross? Well, he freed us from the penalty of sin, so we don't need to go to hell. He freed us from the power of sin with the Holy Spirit working in our lives. We can overcome any temptation. And one day he will free us from the presence of sin in the new heavens and new earth. So what are we supposed to do now? Here and now God calls us to holiness to not live in a lifestyle of sin, but rather to confess our sins and pursue him daily.
