Why Do We Still Sin?

Q. If we are to walk in the spirit so as not to sin, why do we still fall prey to sin? i try hard not to sin but I find that I keep slipping up, letting temptation get the better of me. I’m afraid God will just give up on me. What can I do?

A. You won’t be able to completely stop sinning until the Rapture. Our sin nature prevents it. Even Paul couldn’t stop (Romans 7:19-20). Keep on doing the best you can, confess when you fail, and know that God has already forgiven all of the sins you’ll ever commit, (Col. 2:13-14) so He’s not going to give up on you. (Romans 8: 38-39)
