Thanks for the ping.

Yes, you are sinlessly perfect because of the active obedience of Christ.

"Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death."

Enjoy your Christian liberty and give up your legalism because you are already fully justified in Christ.

Although that is true in judicial decree, it is not so in practice--and yet, it can and should be so.

It always amazes me that believing it possible to live a truly Christ-like life in purity of motive and intention is seen as legalism. But then, I'm just echoing Mr. Watson:

"It is somewhat singular, that the divines of the Calvinistic school should be almost uniformly the zealous advocates of the doctrine of the continuance of indwelling sin till death...."
