Understanding the Goal Beyond Sinning

The goal of Christian life transcends simply avoiding sin; it is fundamentally about establishing a relationship with God. Not sinning should not be perceived as the primary objective; rather, the focus should be on fostering a communion with the Lord. This means understanding that while avoiding sin is necessary, the ultimate aim is the union with God, as sin damages this relationship. The mindset should shift from wanting mere resolution to desiring a deep connection with God, who is ready to embrace us despite our imperfections.
