THE SAIPAN CHURCH OF CHRIST What will you do with Sin? By Eastside Church of Christ; Jeff May Man's greatest problem is sin. It wrecks lives, marriages, homes, relationships, etc. Worst yet, it separates from God. What shall we do with sin? There are 3 possibilities LIVE WITHOUT SIN Can a man go several days without sinning? What about a month? Could he make it one year? Why even discuss it? In all of the history of man, only one man has lived without sin, He is our Savior Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 2:22).

A man approached his friend and asked, “Are you still smoking." The friend replied, "No, | quit." When asked how he did it, he said, "I died to it." That's the ideal! It may be that we occasionally sin, but the rule of our life is that we are dead to sin. Itno longer rules usDo not store up for yourselve treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
