How Can We Reflect God When We Are Actively Struggling with Sin?

Today we release Part 2 of our three-part series on “What Is the Gospel?” To catch Part 1, click here.

If mankind’s purpose is to reflect God’s goodness and beauty in creation, how can we do that when we often still struggle with sin?

Sin doesn’t reflect God’s goodness, does it? Pride, selfishness, manipulation, impatience, sexual immorality, strife–those all reflect the beast, not God. Yet, too often, even those of us who desire to follow Jesus and live in the power of the Holy Spirit actively struggle with sin at some level. Why is that and how do we overcome it?
