Answered in 2 sources
Recognizing the presence of sin helps believers appreciate God's grace and their reliance on Christ's righteousness for acceptance.
Understanding the ongoing presence of sin is crucial for Christians as it leads to a greater appreciation of God's grace. It reminds believers that they are distinct from others solely due to God's distinguishing grace, as noted in 1 Corinthians 4:7. Furthermore, acknowledging our sinful nature underscores that our acceptance before God rests entirely on the blood and righteousness of Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30). This awareness helps cultivate humility and a desire for continual growth in holiness.
