These are just some verses that show how "SIN" is not an issue in our lives, only "wrongs." Sin has been paid for - but our 'wrongs' will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
So, when you are feeling rotten about the sin in your life - don't! Just get up to the plate again, and try to knock that 'wrong' out of your life. Keep swinging until you hit it - there are no 'outs'. There may be some singles, doubles, etc. but there will be a homerun coming some day!
But it isn't sin that is the issue here - no matter what the bearded suspendered holiness wrongly dividing crowd says with their Greek!
There are those 'Christians' who think we say that we don't sin, meaning that we don't do anything wrong. Well, they just don't understand salvation nor the issue of sin. We do wrong, but we don't "sin!" Read the following to understand.
The complete sermon for this is from the sermon Joy
in Him!
1) A lost person pays for his own sins at the White
Throne Judgment. I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he,
ye shall die in your sins. John
8:24
2) A saved person has Christ who has paid for his
sins - past, present and future sins - their 'wrongs' are judged at the
Judgment Seat of Christ - not their sins, though. Sin has already
been judged and paid for!

fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

and I died. But now, since we have no law, sin can

committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression
of the law.
