The Distinction Between Falling into Sin and Committing Sin

While both falling into sin and committing sin are detrimental to one's spiritual well-being, there is a crucial difference between the two. Committing sin implies a deliberate and continuous dedication to sinful behavior (1 John 3:6, 9).

As human beings, we are wired up just like a building is wired. But if there is no electric power flowing ...
