...We must make decisions about how we will respond to our weakness - either with humility and faith that lead us toward strength, or with pride and self-deception that lead us toward sin. Choosing humility does not mean we will eliminate all our weaknesses, however. Even if we repent from a sin, we will still have weaknesses. Weakness is an inevitable part of the human condition and will never be fully eliminated in this life. We all sin as well, but sin can be eliminated through repentance and reliance on the Atonement. Sin is a choice we make - or unmake, thanks to Christ's Atonement. Sin is a choice. Weakness is a state.
- Wendy Ulrich, PH.D. From the book entitled Weakness is Not Sin
