I made this point in SS class and it created quite a stir. Everyone in class was of the opinion the Gospel offers us freedom from sinning but they quickly added we will continue to sin until Jesus returns and changes us. I held my peace thereafter so as not to derail the class. I'm impressed. That must not have been easy.
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

Tom, you know me too well. You're right, though, it was hard to let it go. The rest of the class progressed nicely focusing on grace and forgiveness.
Rosangela, I like what Ellen wrote about "continual obedience". Here it is:
All true obedience comes from the heart. It was heart work with Christ. And if we consent, He will so identify Himself with our thoughts and aims, so blend our hearts and minds into conformity to His will, that when obeying Him we shall be but carrying out our own impulses. The will, refined and sanctified, will find its highest delight in doing His service. When we know God as it is our privilege to know Him, our life will be a life of continual obedience. Through an appreciation of the character of Christ, through communion with God, sin will become hateful to us. {DA 668.3}

Vaster,
Not of course like Jesus, who was free from sin during His whole life, but for an extended period of time: it seems to me that Enoch may have achieved this for 300 years, Moses may have achieved this for 40 years (before a single sin marred his record), Elijah (also a single sin), Daniel, Joseph, Paul, John...
