Practicing sin is lawlessness, and that's something that Jesus came to expressly destroy. That is to say that ongoing, habitual sin is not in keeping with one's claims to be a child of God. If that reality of ongoing sin and a lack of love describes your life, you make have a false sense of assurance and be self-deceived. We don't always see ourselves clearly, and that's why we need the Body of Christ so desperately.
