Trying Hard Enough

Have you ever heard that person who said Christianity is impossible to live because it is impossible to sin? Well part of what they are saying is correct, even though they are wrong. What I mean by that is that it is absolutely impossible for someone not to sin, but not impossible for someone to be a follower of Jesus.
   A follower of Jesus does not mean that they do not sin. In fact, it is quite the opposite in the sense that Jesus became sin so that we could become His Righteousness. That is why we are His Righteousness. For what we consider our righteousness by works is like filthy rags, literally translated to the culture of that time, menstrual rags.
   So the point is, Christianity doesnt come by trying hard enough not to sin, for it is impossible not to sin. But it does come from the forgiveness that has already been attained, true Righteousness, not what we consider to be righteous. You are the True Righteousness of God!
