Death our Savior?

Death our savior?

The fact that no sin will enter heaven is certainly beyond dispute. It is and will remain a holy place, undefiled by the presence of sin. So, at what point is sin removed from the soul of man? He can not take sin with him into heaven. Many would teach that sin will not be completely destroyed until death. Some take comfort in embracing the belief that it is okay to sin. In fact, they say, it is impossible NOT to sin. They proclaim with a sigh of relief that all must sin in thought, word and deed daily. Therefore we must await for death to separate the body and the soul before sin is ultimately destroyed. I have yet to find a scripture that teaches such a thing. Would death then become our savior instead of Christ himself? Would death not become our friend rather than our enemy? It is the magnificent power and marvelous grace of God that cleanses us from all sin, not the death of the body. It is also argued that a little sin in the believer keeps him humble. We all know that the very essence of sin is pride. How can we possibly reason that it is pride that humbles us?! It is only when pride (sin) is cast out of our hearts we may begin to experience meekness and humility. How befuddled must the heart be that invites pride into his heart to keep him humble and meek. It is only the grace of God and his indwelling presence that humbles us. Sometimes pride comes masquerading as humility in our souls. Even Satan himself was transformed into an angel of light. Have you ever met someone who was very proud of how humble they were?Sin can never be used as a constructive force, it is always and only destructive. The idea that sin is necessary in our lives to make us feel more humble and dependent and help us develop a deeper relationship with God is nonsensical. The effect of sin is just the opposite. Pride makes us feel as if we do not need a savior. Is it not more rational to believe that it is the absence of sin that brings glory to God, not the presence of sin? This same grace that saves us from all unrighteousness is also powerful enough to provide a continuous cleansing that keeps us pure and obedient to a just and loving Savior.
