No need to name where you fail, just do you? If you do does that mean it is possible or does it mean you are not truly saved even if you think you are?
Some differentiate between failure and sin.
We know Christians do not practice sin.
If you keep the whole law and yet stumble in one point you are guilty of all.
But does this just mean that all have sinned? For God saves sinners in Jesus Christ. Saves from sin to obedience.
So if a person says they have not sinned they are a liar. But if a person has repented and believes they have been born again, what then do we say of sin? And if a person cannot as a believer say they have sinned would they maybe say they have failed?
Where is security and assurance of salvation without a false conversion? How can a person know if they are truly saved?
To be born again is a work of God by His Spirit. That is what I believe. The one who is born of God does not sin. I believe this is more than talking about Jesus, but talking about believers.
So do you fail? And what does that mean for you? Can you get along, pick yourself up after a failure, and still follow Christ?
What does it mean to be saved by grace and not by works?
If you are saved by grace does that mean it is impossible to sin? Impossible in what way? For temptation may come, and we can be victorious over it. Or impossible in a way of saying that since you are obedient or since you are saved you do not sin or cannot sin?
I personally know I am not invincible. But I do have success and overcome. We should walk blamelessly. God can and will help us. We ought to call on Him to rescue us out if there is an area that feels too deep to get out of.
