The more of God you know, the more of God is revealed through you, and naturally, the less you will sin. No effort, no fuss, no worries.
You were doing so good! Til the end. Not that I'm disagreeing with you but will throw in a slight complication about the above.
The notions of sinning "less" are also a scriptural and reality fantasy. Why?
Paul described the sin that dwelt in him as "no longer I" twice in Romans 7:17-21, concluding therein with the fact that whenever he did good, evil was in fact still present within him and that IT did it's sinning things, outlined in detail earlier in the chapter, vs. 7-13.
Paul also claimed that he was, in the present tense sense of the term, "I am" the chief of sinners, basically putting himself at the top (or bottom if we prefer) of the heap of sinners, 1 Tim. 1:15
Jesus nailed this subject quite solidly in Mark 7:21-23 stating quite deadly accurately that "evil lawless thoughts" defile us all. The same things Paul pointed to in Romans 7:7-13
Yes, sin has a life (or anti-life if you prefer) of its own that does operate in everyone. This is why we're no better than any given sinner, Romans 3:9, and that every mouth and the whole world is shut up in GUILT.
Yes, guilty as charged. Every last one of us, no exceptions. (Yes, Jesus was/is the ONLY exception)
Anyway, to delve further in to this topic we should start to look at the WHY.
Paul introduces us to the fact that he had a "messenger of Satan" in his own sorry hide. He also tells us that temptation was in his flesh, Gal. 4:14, which ties in quite nicely to all the above scriptures with the addition of AN ADVERSARY, a very real "other agent" that was not Paul. There was Paul and there was an adversary, a messenger of Satan in his flesh. Now it gets interesting donut?
How did that agent get in his flesh? Well, that's an unseen story, but Jesus, thank God, at least shows us the "how."
Where the Word is sown, Satan enters the heart to steal it. Mark 4:15 is just a fact. And it's not something we ever rid ourselves of. The only temporary promise of the Gospel is DOMINION OVER that adversary, not eradication of.
Paul, Apostle as he was, I am certain was viciously attacked by said adversary constantly and continually. Hence when he claimed the seat of the chief of sinners, he was not just looking at himself. He was speaking of himself and THE ADVERSARY, the messenger of Satan in his flesh.
John said no differently when he said SIN is "of the devil," 1 John 3:8
So there you have it. The composition of mankind in a nutshell.
You have people, whom we are commanded to love
and
We all have an adversary, us, others included, whom we do NOT have to love, but can and should resist.
Now life gets very interesting from here.
Good luck to all in the wrestling match, well, not the other parties for sure. But to all people.
I have great hope that all people will come through the sieve intact, sans the other parties. Basically half of us will get through, the other half of me will definitely not. I have to throw out the damnation scriptures as a reminder to "my adversary" quite often. Daily in fact.
