YES!!!! There is a movement now that says if you are saved by grace sin doesn't matter anymore. This is clearly wrong!!!! We are no longer under the condemnation of the Law but rather the Law lives in us. The very Law Giver, Jesus Christ lives in every born again believer. We hate sin, when we fall we confess it to be cleansed of that sin. We grow in holiness because of our continual confession when the Holy spirit in us convicts us of it.
The problem now in our Christian communities is that too many Christians think of sin lightly. Christ had to shed every drop of blood to pay the penalty for that sin, YES it is important and His desire is that we not sin. How hard is this to understand? I don't get it. Those who are born again are tormented by guilt until they confess and after enough confessions for different things they begin to avoid it, they hate the feeling of displeasing Christ Who lives in them.
Ephesians 4:29-31 "…29 Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.…"
Karen Puff Rosenkrantz shared this:
"The American church began rapidly accelerating deeper into the depths of darkness when it cast aside the Biblical standard of "be ye holy" and replaced it with the "be ye happy" doctrine of devils instead."
