As christians, we know we aren't supposed to sin, but we also no that we will never go through life without sinning…So, there must be a happy medium somewhere… Well, there kind of is. Here's the dealio. If we continue to sin on purpose, knowing full well what we are doing, we are not living FOR Jesus. Makes sense, right? However, if you are imperfect…like everyone, and you do end up sinning…repent! Ask for forgiveness… It's that easy. If you truly want to live a life FOR Jesus, you have to put some effort in. Think about the choices that you are making and the actions you are taking. If you have any kind of grasp on morality or common sense, you will know what you should do and what you shouldn't do.
So, while you are busy focussing on being a basically good person, let God take care of the sin in your life. All you have to do is just give it to Him.
I like your "pay your dues" mantra here. Makes me feel better about myself at the end of the day because I know who I am, and I make it right. We should all aspire to be as humbled. :)
