OH MY GOD!!! You are so being lied to!
Let me get something straight, WE ARE HUMAN!!! We aren't overcoming our sins because WE CAN'T!!! I feel so sorry for people who think that that is something we are supposed to be doing. If we could overcome our sins, God wouldn't have had to send JESUS!!!!
The other thing I keep reading is that people realize that the preacher/elders/whatever other morons that set themselves up as gurus, aren't always right, Godly, or loving. Yeah, ya know why? BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMANS! We suck! And the only thing that makes "pastors" different from the rest of us is the piece of paper in the frame in their office from some seminary that is probably the reason he's screwed up in the first place! Can you tell from my run-on sentences that I have an opinion about this?
Remember the stories of the priests that went into the Holiest of Holies had to have a rope tied around their ankle? Because when you enter the H of H you have to be pure or you'll what? Drop dead, that's right! So why the rope around the ankle? To pull them out when they drop dead! You see?
This overcoming our sins thing is bullshit! Do we try to do what's right? Yes. Do we do whatever teeny tiny "good" things we can? Sure. But only because we've asked Jesus to come and live in us and that's Him trying to push His love through our misersable, rotting flesh!
And any preacher that sets himself up as anything but one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread is dangerous, run away!
Any other explaination is a LIE!
Hey, don't take my word for it, take His.

God does want our sanctification. He is the one who acomplishes it in us by the Holy Spirit. We cooperate (hopefully) so that we can be more like Jesus here on earth. The purpose is so that we have a closer relationship with Jesus, that we hear God's voice more clearly, obey him more quickly and completely, that we help expand his kingdom (which is more easily done when we are walking more closely with Jesus).
