What God does NOT expect of us is to fall into sin

But you can sin boldly (pecca fortiter) all you want, right? Oh, wait, that's Lither! Let me guess, your truth is Calvin? Or is it Zwigli? Or is it you?

When we fall into sin, Jesus is there to pull us out

Comfy, easy, right? Nothing is required of you, God's gotta do everything for you.

But the reason of the Spirit is so that we may abide in Christ

I though it was Christ Who abides in you.

As bright as you are it's amazing how wrong you can be.

There is nothing comfy, or easy, when the HOLY SPIRIT convicts you of sin. That failure to walk in a way that glorifies GOD will bother you morning, noon and night. As you mature as a Christian, who has been saved, the desire to be in a right relationship with the LORD is overpowering.
