Why are we sinning even after Jesus died for our sins?
THE BATTLE AXE: The Rich in Divine Relationship? (11/29/2013)—In the same way it is forbidden believers in Christ to oppress and steal from the poor, we are forbidden to continually exploit and presume upon the rich. The rich are to be helped to understand that GOD is not their enemy. The idea that we must compete against, prove ourselves equal to, or show ourselves better than the wealthy comes from pride, not from godliness or righteousness. The need of the wealthy for healing and salvation is no less than our own, or that of every other created being and living creature. Their pain may derive from other causes and circumstances than our own, nonetheless, they too bleed, struggle, suffer as they live, and are now objects of divine mercy, pity, and saving grace. None are to despise or show contempt for the rich. Often it is only by their hard work that our communities see employment opportunities, improvements to the quality of life, and benefits to families, small businesses, schools, and shared public facilities. For the rich, the insurmountable barrier to relationship with GOD is not to be the body of believers. Traditionally, it has been that relationship to GOD demands sacrifice. Even when Christ offers himself to comfort and succor those who suffer loss, despite that they continue at risk for total damnation, many are unwilling to bear the removal of money, prestige and property. See Deuteronomy 8: 18-19, Proverbs 13: 7, Proverbs 19: 22, Psalms 50: 1-6, Micah 7: 2-9 and Luke 18: 17-30, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1st John 1: 5-10, KJV)

“sudheer k”, here are a few points I am willing to share in the name of Jesus that speak to sin and the revealed process of GOD:
(1.) Sin is no living matter, is nonmaterial, and may not be described as having physical or spatial dimensions such as depth, height, length, and weight. Sin has no spirit substance from the makeup of GOD, sin has not been created by GOD, and sin has no power to control or influence the divine will. With this in view, sin does not exist as a true object in Creation. Even so, sin has direction, effect, and presence; and sin may dominate awareness and self-will in created beings and living creatures.
(2.) Given that sin is “no thing” and has no independent existence, sin cannot be destroyed. The task to eliminate and permanently remove sin may not go forward by the ordinary tools available to finite beings such as feelings, intellect, knowledge, logic and science. Multiple divine operations and sacred events are required that include baptism, birth, confession, covenant, death, rebirth, forgiveness, judgment, incarnation, love, prophecy, repentance, resurrection, and sanctification.
(3.) Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, of divine person, and of all that has been put forth by GOD as Creation. Because sin is not immediately experienced as contrary, foreign and strange to ones nature and inner makeup, many do not realize the full danger and destructiveness of sin; and sin is held to be acceptable, natural, and “normal.” Sin was first recognized among the holy angels; and is now documented as binding, corrupting, and immobilizing the godly operation of self-will (we may say, will power). The original endowment of spirit imparted at Creation to mankind has been diluted and weakened from the operations of sin.
There is far more to be said, correctly shared, and spiritually understood. (For example, (4.) Error and sin will continue as aspects of imbalance and subtlety (i.e., barely visible differences and shifts). Like the back of ones head, without the tools provided by GOD, the true character and workings of sin would remain hidden and unseen to those under its control. Through the earthly and heavenly ministry of Jesus Christ, believers receive fresh deposits of divinity that permit the living to detect and resist sin. Once divine judgment of the righteous has been completed, Christ will come to harvest the earth. At that time, mankind will be transformed to live as immortal and incorruptible. All that will continue in eternal life will be perfected and no longer vulnerable to sin.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith. We who claim place in covenant to GOD are to shine forth as a light to the world. Happy Hanukkah to all.
