Sin or No Sin

I hear people say they can go 24 hours without sinning. Let's look at that. They ask for their sins to be forgiven and then at the end of those 24 hours they can truthfully say they are without sin, right? Doesn't John say those who say they are without sin make God a liar and the truth is not in them? Hmmmmm!

Seems to me these people have a low opinion of what sinless means. If they can do it obviously it is not such a big deal that Jesus did it. They also have a low opinion of what maturity the Bible talks about "be perfect (mature, complete) as the Father is "perfect." At the end of those 24 hours they are on the same level as God. No big deal if we can do it and I thought that was a goal that was difficult to reach. Obviously it is not.
