Is it possible? Living without sin!


Is it hard for us to believe that Jesus in His humanity could maintain an absolutely pure, sinless mind during His 33 1/2 years in this world? Is it possible for anyone in human flesh, even under the power of God, to reach such a point of victory over sin?

The Bible answer is clear: "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God) … Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3–5).

This promise is made concerning sinners in the flesh who turn to the delivering power of the gospel. How much more would our blessed Lord, with no acquired propensities for sin, be able to claim His Father's enabling strength to keep from sinning! The Word of God assures us that we may partake of the divine nature of Jesus and have the "mind of Christ."

His sinless experience in the flesh is a guarantee that any of us may have the same victory if we will depend upon the Father as He did through the habitual registry that we create in our sub-conscious mind.


This means that in overcoming sin He had no advantage over us. He fought the enemy in the same nature and by the same spiritual weapons that are available to us. If He had any advantage over other men it was simply that his inherent human nature was never further debilitated by personal indulgence in sin.

Can we equal the perfect pattern of Jesus' sinless life?

No. All of us have degraded human nature further by giving way to the flesh. Not only have we brought the curse of death upon ourselves by breaking God's law, but we have also made ourselves more vulnerable to Satan by cooperating with him.

Jesus never responded to a single sinful stimulus, and Satan could find nothing in Him. He lived all His life with the surrendered mind and will of the fully sanctified. He committed no sins to be atoned for.

But even though we cannot equal the pattern, we should seek earnestly to reflect that holy life of Jesus as fully as possible. By the grace of God, we may put away every known sin and be perfect in our sphere with no consciousness of cherished wrongdoing by simply training our sub-conscious mind to do so (which is not simple).

Does that mean we will be boasting about living without sin? On the contrary, the closer we come to Christ, the more we will sense our unworthiness. Those who attain the standard of Christ will be the last ever to recognize it, much less boast of it.

How could the devil be proven wrong?

God had to provide a demonstration that would forever silence the adversary. It was a long, painful demonstration that led the mighty Creator God to step down into a human body of fallen man and, within the limits of that nature, to overcome everything Satan could hurl against Him.

Had He utilized any divine power to overcome sin that was not available to others in the flesh, Satan would have used it to bolster his claims that no one could keep God's law.

At the cross, Jesus demonstrated to the entire universe that Satan was wrong. He had proven that it was possible, in the flesh, to be obedient through dependence on the Father.




In summary,

we can see how the ancient error of Adam's imputed guilt has led to a chain of related deceptions. The most significant truths of salvation have been cleverly counterfeited. The humanity of Jesus has been denied, the imparted righteousness of Christ has been challenged, and the possibility of victory over sin has been ridiculed. It is only as we recognize the basic falsehood that we can avoid the perversions that follow. May God give us the wisdom to stand firmly upon the word alone and to reject every doctrine that is not rooted in Him.


"Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen" (Revelation 7:12).


Train your mind not to sin!


Is it possible! Do baby sin? “No” then who taught them to do so when they grow?

Is sin pre-programmed in to human brains? If “No” then how did we get in doing sin!

Who thought us consuming Alcohol or Smoking tobacco or stimulant drugs are good for our health and will help us live longer ever healthier and happier?

There are still many questions that will make you think little deeper.
The answer starts and ends with our sub-conscious mind.

Sub-conscious mind is the supreme power in our body that controls all our senses. It can switch on or off senses when required in the way it’s programmed by us (Knowingly or Unknowingly)

We have programmed our mind (e.g: going to office on time is a must where as going to churches on times depends upon your body condition, traffic, weather and lot more)

Hence EOD it’s you who program yourself to commit sin or stay away from it.

When you can train your sub-conscious mind to commit sin, why cant you train your sub-conscious mind Not to sin.

You can do that by simple exercise that you may need to repeat until your sub-conscious mind is trained and keep up the exercise that suits you the most depending upon the atmosphere you are living in.

There are simple innovative and creative ways that you can train your Sub-Conscious mind not to sin, you can create your own exercise with the help of Holy Spirit, He will help you construct a best exercise against different kind of sins that you think you are in you may fear you may get in to it.

When you opt to train your sub-conscious mind not to sin, consciously pray to almighty to help you construct a best exercise plan for your sub-conscious mind. For sure he will do it more willingly for you than ever before because he knows you are trying to hit the right spot where there is a great need of heavenly guidance and will power to proceed with confidence.

Once you have trained your sub-conscious mind to overcome and shatter various sin’s that you thought lethal, now you are on the track of Auto-Piloting your spiritual life.

When your spiritual life is auto-piloted for sure you will reach your destination effortlessly but still auto-pilot needs manual conscious constant supervision in case of unexpected turbulences that you may encounter for which the sub-conscious mind is not trained. Hence manual effort to keep you on track is required but the efforts will be very less.

Purity of a human lies in his thought!

Jesus as Human !


Incidentally, these inspired words ("Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same" (Hebrews 2:14)) definitely tell us that Christ took part of the same nature as the children who "are partakers of flesh and blood." Doesn't this tell us without question the kind of nature Christ possessed?

Did Adam have any children born before he sinned? Not a one! The fact is that all the children who have ever been born in the world have inherited the same fallen nature of Adam, because they were all born after Adam sinned. The book of Hebrews declares that Jesus "himself likewise took part of the same." The same what? The same flesh and blood as children inherit from their parents. What kind of flesh do children inherit from their parents? Only sinful flesh. Has any other kind of flesh except sinful flesh ever been known among the descendants of Adam? None whatsoever. If Jesus partook of the same flesh and blood as the children, it had to be sinful flesh and blood. There is no other conclusion to be drawn. Yet, He Himself was sinless!

One writer, recognizing this clear Bible position, described it very succinctly in these words:

"It would have been an almost infinite humiliation for the Son of God to take man's nature, even when Adam stood in his innocence in Eden. But Jesus accepted humanity when the race had been weakened by four thousand years of sin. Like every child of Adam He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity. What these results were is shown in the history of His earthly ancestors. He came with such a heredity to share our sorrows and temptations, and to give us the example of a sinless life." (The Desire of Ages, page 48).


This statement described the working of hereditary laws and is in perfect support of Paul's declaration that Jesus partook of the same flesh and blood as children receive from their parents.

That is referring to heredity also. If Christ had been born with Adam's unfallen nature, the very suggestion of hereditary influence would be ridiculous in the extreme. There could be no place for any kind of inherited tendencies in a holy Adamic nature that had never known either birth or ancestry. If he had no inherited weaknesses, why would the writer of Hebrews say that "He partook of the same flesh and blood that children receive from parents?" Certain it is that the Creator did not incorporate any inherent weaknesses into the original creation. Adam had no battles to fight against hereditary tendencies. He had the power in himself to choose always not to sin.

Did Jesus as a man claim to have that kind of power? No. He said, "I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things" (John 8:28). Repeatedly, Christ spoke of being dependent on his Father for what He said and what he did.

Does this mean that He possessed no deity and omnipotence as the Son of God? On the contrary, He was truly and wholly divine, just as He was truly and wholly man. But those two natures apparently were not amalgamated into some hybrid personality that stood apart from either God or man.

He was fully God and He was fully man. He could draw upon either of these distinct natures while living here in the flesh. But the really important thing for us to remember is that He did not exercise His divine power to save Himself from the weaknesses and temptations inherited from His human ancestry. He chose to live His life here as a man in the same way we have to live it. To save Himself from sin and the perils of the flesh, He depended constantly and solely upon the power of His Father. It was in this way that He overcame the devil, closed every avenue of temptation, and lived a life of perfect obedience. By never yielding to the inherent appeal of the flesh, He set an example of the kind of victory that may come to every child of Adam through dependence on the Father.

Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness to use His divine power to satisfy His agonizing hunger. Satan knew that Jesus had the power of deity to work that miracle. His hope was that he could provoke Christ to draw upon His divinity for relief. Why would that have been such a triumph for Satan? He could have used that to sustain his charges that God required an obedience that no man in the flesh could produce. If Jesus had failed to overcome the tempter in the same nature we have, and by the same means available to us, the devil would have proven that obedience is indeed an impossible requirement. Satan understood very well that Jesus could not use His divine power to save Himself and to save man at the same time. This is what made the test such a severe and agonizing experience for Christ.

If Jesus actually inherited the compromised nature of Adam, then why didn't He sin like the rest of Adam's descendants? Because He was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb and possessed a fully surrendered will and sanctified human nature. May we partake of that same power to keep us from sinning? Yes. Jesus, in living His life of victory over sin, did not utilize His divinity but confined Himself to the same power available to us through conversion and sanctification.

If you want to follow Christianity, Just follow the footsteps of Jesus as said in the bible (not on your own presumptions). That’s Christianity!
If someone says that I am not Jesus to forgive! Tell him that Jesus was no one special when he was here on the earth as Jesus; he was a simple human being. He never did something that you and I cannot do in this world as a human.

If Jesus has done something then why we can’t, just follow him and we will!

If we see ourselves not on the footsteps of Jesus then kindly do not tell anyone or make a declaration anywhere that you are a Christian, if you wish you can tell that you are trying to be a Christian and not a Christian.

Be cheerful no matter what !

1 Thessalonians 5:16-26

16 Be cheerful no matter what;

17 pray all the time;

18 thank God no matter what happen, This is the way God wants you who
belong to Christ Jesus to live.

19 Don't suppress the Spirit,

20 and don't stifle those who have a word from the Master.

21 On the other hand, don't be gullible. Check out everything, and keep
only what's good.

22 Throw out anything tainted with evil.

23 May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you
holy and whole, put you together - spirit, soul, and body - and keep you
fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.

24 The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do
it!
25 Friends, keep up your prayers for us.

26 Greet all the Christians there
with a holy embrace.

All these verse will keep you on track as always.

Enjoy being cheerful and be happy always let the hope, joy, trust, happiness, strong will, goodies, peace, love, blessings, righteousness radiate from you where ever you go and whatever you do !
