The Bible is clear: We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Because of our imperfect human nature, we will continue to make mistakes and miss the mark of perfection.
Our desire should be to strive to be better, To treat others like we would like to be
2 Corinthians 8:7
And then we must never become so carnal that we become comfortable in sin or so arrogant that we begin to make excuses for our sin.
Once we have determined that mistakes, wrongdoing, and sin are part of our humanistic character, we should better understand our need for God in our lives. God knows better than anyone that we are flawed, which is why He made provisions for us to deal with the stain of sin. He is the cleanser, the sustainer, and the renewer.
First and foremost, God wants us to own up to our sin and call it what it is—don’t rename it to justify it as anything less than what it is, which is a violation of God's mandate. When we begin to rename sin with flowery words, we also discount the need to be held accountable for that sin or the need for repentance.
