No I doubt anyone ever becomes a overcomer in a day but we have to remember to never stop striving for perfection. The sin that so easily besets us is the sin we forget to ask forgiveness for or argue that "oh thats not really sinning" when we know we shouldnt be doing it. Getting saved is just the first work, working daily to reach the fullness of christ is the goal.

I believe that everyone sins sometime in their lives christian or not. God forgives all sinners and if christians say they don't sin they are lying so they still need forgiveness. Have a great day!

I don't believe there is such a person. Even a little, bitty, white lie can be considered a sin and it can be done so innocently. Nobody I know is perfect and believe it takes a perfect person to never commit a sin. This is my own personal opinion and it might be worthless in someone else's eyes. If this hurts someone, please forgive me.

I believe that you still can sin even after being saved, because its so damn easy to do that. First one of the Ten Commandments says you shall not murder, after that Jesus harshens it and says that its enought to have wrath upon your brother. I believe that after you get saved, you try to live not to sin but if you sin there is forgiveness. I can honestly say that i sin, both when im aware of it and not aware of it. If God asked me if i ever wanted to know how much ive sinned id say no, that would be to disgusting to experience. I also believe that every man/woman that says they are without sin is a liar and puts themselves under the coming judgement of God. It is better to be honest, its not even worth trying to lie to someone who is allknowing, its like trying to hide behind a glass window.

Absolutely not. "For everyone sins and falls short of the glory of God." No one, NO ONE can avoid sinning at some point. Every evil thought, depraved idea, or malicious action is a sin, and it is not possible to completely remove sin from your life.

No. I believe that after you become saved you can still sin, and that although God has saved you, and you are still saved after sin you would also need to repent your sins.

All Christians sin. We are born with original sin and there is the sin of the flesh and the sins of temptations that we have to endure all through our lives. Those of the world think that once one becomes a Christian than one starts to wear a halo on his head and has the attitude of Christ, but we sin without even knowing it and if it were not for Christ's forgiveness we would be submerged in its filth. A thought of hatred is considered in God's eyes as if we were guilty of murder, a look of envy at someone's who makes more money, is considered the sin of covetous.

It is the nature of human to sin. That is one of the consequences of the first Disobedience right? but believing that Jesus can remove your sins and repenting will erase it. As my teacher once said: "It is impossible that you won't fall or sin but, you know, sin is just one sincere 'sorry Jesus' away!"
