Is it the ice or is it us?

Is it our faith in the ice or is it the ice which saves us when we skate across the lake in winter?

It is the ice that saves us, and it is our faith in the ice to bring us to skate.
Faith - God gives and we receive.

Sins - BC and AD

Sins - Before Christ and After Christ.

Being a Christian for more than ten years, though I may not be sinless and am to sin less, but do I really sin less or do the sins transform?

Consider what we considered as sins before we are believer, those sins we struggled with and have victory over.
I trust we do "crucify" some of the obvious one - such as premarital sex, orgies, adultery, reading/watching pornography, drunkardness, drugs, smoking (?), malicious sensless gossips, cruelty, occult/witchcraft.

Have we really sinned no more, sin less or have sins (subtly) changed their manifestations. "We don't do those sins anymore, but we do these sins now - and in the name of Christ."

I have heard behaviour is a learnd response (towards envioronment and people) and is goal directed.
Have we really crucified the sins or have we changed our sinful habits (according to the envioronment and people)?

What have we crucified and what are we really to crucify?
