do Christians have to be perfect and sinless once they are saved??

[Grace of God]

Believers often talk about walking the walk of faith and enduring to the end, does this mean believers must be completely sinless for ever more, to remain saved..?

Since they obviously aren't, obviously not.

If Christians have even the remotest understanding of the ability to read, then one glance at Scripture should tell us that we were not perfect, we are not perfect and will only be perfected in the fullness of the Kingdom. Remember what Christ said when someone asked Him about being good?

Impossible to be perfect and sinless, GofG. We all have weaknesses and lapses. We try hard though!

I am not a Christian and I do not try hard to be good.

It's just natural.

Good to hear, BeR  .
You'd be the perfect guest at a dinner party, or host, or neighbour, or boss/colleague, or teacher, or doctor (or husband?)......
Wish I wuz you! I broke a glass - full of course - on kitchen floor today and uttered an expletive quite loudly , ummmm.
