Must be nice being sinless.

Or not. I guess you don’t need a Savior if you’re sinless.

The Apostle Paul was not sinless. He had daily need of a Savior.

Sinless? Please reread my post. After the Savior forgives our sins, he says "go and sin no more" even though he knows we may fall again. "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you." Rev 3:3

So we must seriously try to obey in order to repent properly. Even if we fall into sin again, we must keep getting up and repenting to remain ready for the end. If we do, then at the end we may say with Paul "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Tim 4:7

To stop repenting and resisting sin is to quit the race.
