SORRY, You would think i would have known by now which forum to post in !Having just read the 'Articles' section here on SI,and the insertion of Adam Clarke's entire sanctification, I pose the above question for consideration.My heart leaps at the thought of the possibility of living this way.But can we this side of heaven?I take great courage from 1 John 2;1-2Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Farther, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2 And he is the propitiationfor our sins; and not for ours only,but also for the sins of the whole world. My point being i know God has taken away the inevitability of sin.... IF any man sin, not WHEN any man sins

My point being i know God has taken away the inevitability of sin.... IF any man sin, not WHEN any man sins1 John 1:7-10 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.I think it is clearly maintained from the above verse that we are sinful creatures and will have sin in our lifes but the blessedness of the gospel is that we maybe sin-less through the forgiveness of Christ. The stipulation is "If" we confess our sins.. that is our blockage from being blameless before Christ, walking in humbleness and repentance. But as you said yes there is a fulness of God to be attained to and I believe that is not "sin-lessness" but rather conformity to God and a fuller grasp of his majesty through spiritual revelation.Ephesians 3:19 - And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.Ephesians 4:13 - Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:Hebrews 6:1 - Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,Matthew 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.Fullness of God, Fullness of Christ, unto perfection, perfect!! God would not say it if its not possible through His grace and workings in our lifes. Lets press on brother.

On the topic of sanctification here is another encouraging piece from Oswald Chambers: "The reason some of us have not entered into the experience of sanctification is that we have not realized the meaning of sanctification from God's standpoint. Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. Are we prepared for what the cost? It will cost everything that is not of God in us.""Are we prepared to be caught up into the swing of this prayer of the apostle Paul's? Are we prepared to say--"Lord make me holy as You can make a sinner saved by grace"?"1 Thes 5:23-24 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.
