Kevin, If we believe that with God all things are possible, why can't we believe that through His forgiveness, mercy and grace that He pours out upon us after we have confessed /repented of our sins we will no longer feel chained/tied to our sinful lives and seek to become more united with Jesus, falling yes (because we are human) but not in despair, because we know that every time we sin/offend God, He is waiting with open arms and a big heart to pick us up and set us on the right path. This is why we say "we have faith in God/we believe in God" because with God all things are possible when we truly give our wills over to Him rather than hold on tightly to our own wills, which so often do not align with His! (Each time we go to Him with humble, sorry, contrite hearts in Confession, we decrease and He increases in us!) It is important for us to change, not God, not His Commandments, Decrees, Statutes - but us. It is a lifetime process that will not end till our bodies (continued)
