We are all fallen, and incapable of “sinning no more”.
This is why we require repeated repentance and forgiveness, along with continual prayer.
To provide the strength and the grace to do better.
Knowing we will always fall short.
Know anybody who hasn’t sinned in the last year?
ya...me either...
Yes I do know someone...more than one, people that do not sin. It is actually easy, once you are really born again. The very nature of being born again is to no longer have the compulsion to sin. Anything short of that is diminishing the very real power of the holy spirit and is a mistake!
There has been only one man without sin... and they crucified HIM and HE rose from the dead... to save our eternal souls. JESUS is my Lord... I belong to HIM... but I am human and I must strive to keep HIS tenants... but I am neither perfect nor am I without sin. Neither are any of you... to claim yourself as such... is a sin.

Matthew 18:21: Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother when he sins against me?
The Lord's answer: 70 x 7.
That's 70 * 70 * 70 * 70 * 70. My calculator doesn't go that high, so forgiveness must be limitless since we're human, fallible and incapable of NOT sinning. (I know I'm sure not.)
In the last week??? In the last day???
1 John 3:7-15
King James Version (KJV)
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
******************************
Its very clear that Born Again Christians do no sin anymore. There aren’t many truly Born Again Christians. That is why you don’t know anybody.
The Truth of the matter is that most people who call themselves Christians really are not. Of course, that is an unacceptable truth to most.
If you continue to sin, you are not a Born Again Christian.

John ch 5
24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
I believe in God and his son, so i have to agree.
