Can Not Not Sin

Ever heard about the law? It is the rules God set in the old testament that reveal our sinful nature. For instance, in order to be pure in the eyes of the law, you must never bear false witness, or lie. Anyone here never told a little lie? A little half-truth? Nope. Immmpossible. Therefore, we can never ever get into heaven as liars, as sinners. Period.
 
The law gives sin its power. ~1 Corinthians 15:56
 
So we become immune to the law, and we kill it with Christ. Instead of obeying it, we can turn to Jesus for a way out, a way to become pure again in his eyes. And because we kill the sin inside of us, we kill ourselves and replace us with the Holy Spirit.

For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
~Galatians 2:19-20

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He is the phyical (so real you could touch him!) example/representation of the stuff God put into keeping us alive in him.
 
Everything belongs to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
~1 Corinthians 3:23
 
Don't let the things you or others around you do impact how Christianic you are. What you do should be, rather, a product of the attitude that comes after having filled your dead body with the HS!
 
You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires. ~Colossians 2:20-23
