This Perfection is the restoration of man to the state of holiness from which he fell, by creating him anew in Christ Jesus, and restoring to him that image and likeness of God which he has lost… But if man be not perfectly saved from all sin, sin does triumph and Satan exult, because they have done a mischief that Christ either cannot or will not remove. To say that he cannot would be shocking blasphemy against the infinite power and dignity of the great Creator; to say he will not, would be equally such against the infinite benevolence and holiness of his nature”

To say that the fall of man still has left some residue in your life, you still have a sinful nature, or you still have some unsolved issues from your past, is to say that sin and the enemy have done something to you that Christ either cannot or will not solve; To say that he cannot would be blasphemy against his infinite power; to say that he will not it would be an affront against his goodness;
