Where does God draw the line when it comes to Sin? So I've read 1 John alot and I understand that I cannot continue to sin if I want to be a child of God's.


  1 John 1:6 (NIV)
  
  6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the
  darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.


But then at the same time, if we accomplish the call to be holy and to be righteous and to be free of sin then we are not children of God.


  1 John 1:8 (NIV)
  
  8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth
  is not in us.


I'm personally struggling with this very line in my own life. I don't hate people, because I know that I'm commanded to love. But when it comes to my own desires of the flesh I continually fail. I have no self control, I cannot even get out of bed when my alarm goes off lol.

Where does God draw this line? does He give us any more insight into the battle with sin through scripture? So I ask again, where does God draw the line when it comes to Sin?
Well, taking advntage of the God's mercy and forgivness is certainy not a right thing. In my opinion, unless we compeletly sway out of God's way, we should not worry to much about what kind of sins we do everyday; unless it is serious. We are humans, after all, we all make mistakes. Like Jesus said in the bible:


  Matthew 26:41:
  41 Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. The spirit wants to do what is right, but the body is weak." 


In the end, it is not how we can avoid sinning, but it is how we can be more like Christ. We will always have transgressions, but we should be trying to make it better.
