Thoughts on Sinfulness and Claiming Sinless Perfection
--------- I am definitely not a sinless person. I need his grace and mercy every day and acknowledge that I can be extremely sinful. I'm not vain enough to say I have no sin. Through Christ I am saved, am being saved, and will be saved. Life is a journey and we are the journeyman traveling through it. Passions are not easy to break and sanctification doesn't just happen in entirety the moment Christ comes in. It's a gradual progression to holiness instead. And a tough road that requires a lot of confession and continual repentance hence why every day I try to pray at least once "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner" even if I don't think I've sinned that day. I suggest everyone else take this mindset in case you've unknowingly sinned against God and require his mercy and grace which we all do. We are "joint heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:17) and everything Christ is by nature the Father gives to us by grace.
