It is interesting that people who go to church think that sinning is a part of every day life. \u00a0I can’t think of anywhere in the Bible where it says, “Go and sin no more … until tomorrow.” \u00a0Do the ministers in churches really teach that people have to sin every day? \u00a0If they do, then to what purpose was Jesus sacrifice?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hi Steven.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

Yes, strangely, many Christian ministers actually teach that believers as well as unbelievers must sin every day. \u00a0According to those ministers, the blood of Christ has no power to change our nature and liberate us from the power of sin. \u00a0Instead, the blood of God’s Son was applied to God as a sort of blindfold, making it impossible for Him to see us as sinners, even though we still sin. \u00a0As I heard one minister say, “God can’t see through the blood.” \u00a0Or as another said, “When God looks at us, all he sees is His perfect Son. \u00a0He does not see us us sinning.”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
For those people who are looking for an excuse not to repent and to keep sinning, those ministers offer their false doctrine. \u00a0But Paul warned the saints not to use the grace of God as an excuse to sin.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
