Can We Live Sinless Lives?


When Jehovah made man, he made him in his image and his likeness, at the beginning of creation man was perfect in all of his ways. In other words Adam and Eve were perfect human. They were creatures that were created by a perfect God: Jehovah. They were created to Jehovah's precise plan, the last thread of their hear was where it was suppose to be; it was precise to the debt it was embedded into the skin as well as the length it extended above the scalp.

Adam and Eve were not only perfect in their appearance they were perfect in their purpose. But the celestial harmony was broken, with the entrance of sin. When man chooses to give up his perfection in beauty and purpose; he lost every thing:
  1. They lost their perfection in statue and in purpose.
  2. They lost the right to communicate with Jehovah directly on a daily basis.
  3. They lost the privilege to dwell in the magnificence of Eden.
  4. They lost the direct love they consistently experience with Jehovah
  5. They lost the privilege of being in his presence
  6. They also lost the privilege to be preserved in their perfect state forever among other things.
Man will no longer be considered sinless. For with the exception of one man: Jesus Christ the righteous, all else have sinned at some point and time of their life. But Jehovah in all of his mercies, grace, and love has made it so that; although we can never be declared sinless, we can all live sinless lives with the help and power of Jehovah and by the grace of Jesus Christ: the sinless son of Jehovah.

What does this mean?

It means that we can not say that we have never sin; however we can reach to a point in our spiritual life where we live sinless lives or live our lives without sinning. At this stage of our spiritual development we will discover that the sinful things that brought pleasure to us are despised and the activation of such pleasure sensors are triggered by holy stimulus such as our obedience to Jehovah, doing his will etc.

Unfortunately there are many followers of Jehovah and believers in Jesus Christ who do not believe that such spiritual state is attainable. They see everyone’s development through their own broken, rebellious and un-submissive life, their selfish desires and their unwillingness to let go of the pleasures of this world and to submit to Jehovah original intention for his human creation have hindered their spiritual development.

We are not without examples of people who have forsake all and submit to Jehovah power and the love and grace of Jesus Christ and have arrived to a point where they live sinless lives. Many Christian who are living defeated lives will want you to believe that the people who have surrendered to Jehovah life changing power and have been living sinless lives are special people. There is nothing that is far from the truth and this is one of the biggest lies that Satan has ever told. This is his way of having us call Jehovah and his son Jesus a liar and to ensure that we continue to live defeated lives.

Let us take a look at some men who have tapped into Jehovah life changing power and over came sin and lived sinless lives.

Most Christian, pastors, and other religious leaders will want us to believe that Job, Enoch and Elijah, were special people. There were nothing that was special about these men; they were ordinary men who relied totally on Jehovah for everything (great and small).

Job, Elijah, Enoch and the other patriots did not do anything that is impossible for us to do, neither were they given any special powers that is not available to us. It is by our chosing that we have not overcome sin and live sinless lives. We have exposed to us, the same power that took these ordinary men and inspired them to live extraordinary lives.

Jesus declared, be ye perfect even as your father is perfect. Jesus will never call us to accomplish a task that he knows is impossible; If Jesus said that we should be perfect then we can be. Job was an example that Jehovah nor his son Jesus is not requesting member of his human creation to do anything that is impossible. In Job 33:9, it is written, “I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent: neither is there any iniquity in me.”

Job did not have any problem in telling his friends of his spiritual status, it is important to note that this was not done boastfully but in the vindication of his character. If you are living a sinless or righteous life you will know that you are. You will know by your actions, the type of though you entertain, and foremost your relationship with Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ.

If Job can attain such spiritual high we can also. We should always remember that anything is worth having is worth going after and anything that is worth going after is worth all of our energies, dedication and focus.

Do you think the promise of living in eternal bliss in a perfect and serene place that was made by Jehovah to the human family and secured by Jesus Christ is worth having?

If your answer to the above question is yes; what are you willing to do to ensure that you are the bless beneficiary of such?
