I would say that none of us are perfect, and that’s why Jesus came. If we were able to live by the law, he would not have had to come. But he knows that’s not true. That’s why he sent his son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to die for our sins once and for all. We have freedom in Christ!
There’s no way that any one person can live a sinless life, once again, that’s why Jesus was sent. Because he was SINLESS he is the propitiation for our sins. I am grateful.
I’ll be 60 this year, and I have at least another 20 years on this planet I guarantee you, before I die I will sin. I’m probably going to sin every day. Because even our thoughts, are considered sinful. We are sinners. That’s why we need a savior.
So, even if… Having a tattoo is a sin, well, guess what I’ve been forgiven for that sin by Jesus Christ. So I either accept that Jesus is sacrifice is enough for me, or I become a Pharisee in a Sadducee, and go find a place to scrub this filth off of me. That’s what they used to do before Christ. Cleanse themselves - over, over, and over again. We don’t need to do that anymore. Jesus cleanses us ONCE AND FOR ALL.
I just find it so mind blowing that people still to this day - think that they can work their way to heaven. People are so arrogant, they think they can add to what CHRIST DID ON THE CROSS! Can you imagine thinking any of your best works, which, if we want to start using God’s word to support everything, - says that our best works are as dirty filthy rags. Meaning… Menstrual rags.
So if people want to start standing on their works, just remember what God said about that, too! So grab up your menstrual rags, and start waving them around. So people think you’re good, so you can feel worthy.
I think it’s one of the most difficult lessons to learn in Christ. That once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, IN HIM… You are free indeed. True freedom is embracing and knowing that his sacrifice is enough for everything you do. Always.
“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,”
II Corinthians 3:5 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.3.5.NKJV
Anything we do, in every way possible in life, it’s all from God. Give him the glory!
So anybody on this forum, that wants to split hairs regarding tattoos, because you don’t have any… Take your filthy menstrual rags and wave them around, so everybody knows what a good person you are. Yay.
Jesus doesn’t need to cover that sin, because you’ve got it covered, right?
You’re basically claiming you’re better than Jesus. Yikes.

Yes I personally think it's a balance of the 2. We are free in Christ yet that freedom leads to us seeking to follow what the bible says.
