As a whole, mankind is fully committed to a lifetime of sin. Whether it is in a diminished capacity or a full blown assault on the kingdom of darkness, we have unbroken fellowship with sin. But there is a caveat.
No man truly knows what sin is until he is born again. Deliverance from sin is predicated on the spirit that recognizes the nature of the sin that I have inside me (or that you have inside of you). It requires the absolute impartation of God's Perfection (which is the Holy Spirit) for any man to really appreciate the depth and breath of his carnality.
The conscious sin and the unconscious sin in me are both recognized, identified and understood by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, in turn, activates the spirit of recognition, repentance and redemption inside of us. The Blood of Christ eliminates the need for God to censure me because the light consumes the darkness so that the light (me, as the new man created by abandoning conscious sin) and the Light (Christ Jesus) can walk together in true, unbroken fellowship with love, peace and joy.
My true, unbroken fellowship with God protects me from falling prey to the tricks of the enemy and creates an "aggressive resistance" to the devil's bag of deception and destroys the true, unbroken fellowship I once had with sin. My goal is the Son; His will and His way.
In the end, a holy and righteous life is our most effective witness to the world (sin). Selah...
"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called sons of God. Therefore the world (sin) does not know us, because it (sin) did not know Him."
(1 John 3:1)
