"Go and sin no more."
In John 8:11, Jesus commands an adulterous woman to “Go and sin no more.” Why would He say this if it were impossible to stop sinning?
In the last chapter of his Autobiography, entitled "The Man with a Golden Key", GK Chesterton wrote:"When people ask me, or indeed anybody else, "Why did you join the Church of Rome?" the first essential answer, if it is partly an elliptical answer, is, "To get rid of my sins."
