Is God O.k. With Your Sins? Should We Be O.k. With Our Sins?

Question:

Is God o.k. with your sins?  Should we be o.k. with our sins?

Answer:

No, God is not o.k. with our sins and that is the reason why He sent Christ.  God sent his Son into the world to save sinners (See 1 Timothy 1:15, John 3:16, Romans 5:8)

No, we should not be o.k. with our sins and that is the reason why we confess our sins to God.  We confess them unto Christ rather than pretending that we don’t sin. (See 1 John 1:8-10)  Our sinful nature needs to be crucified not reformed.  Furthermore, we don’t try to overcome our sin with good actions or self-determination because that assumes that we can overcome sin by our own efforts, this way of thinking goes the way of works-righteousness and placing ‘self’ into the role of the Savior.
