In view of the fact that He has defeated Satan, and Satan's power (death), in view of the fact that He has "condemned sin in the flesh" (hasn't God always been pretty much against sin?) -- brother Ottoson's point is well stated. Talk about your basic profundity?! It is such because it is true!!!
"Condemned" by the way, means He defeated sin - He gave it a death sentence.

sin has nothing to do with God--there is nothing God must defeat, over which to exercise power to control
sin is attempting to manipulate God--God has yet to be manipulated
God's power is sacred, employed purely to elevate in his own style those who commit to the foregoing, rather than to make the world/ly moral
while one loves God, he is learning, simply, to have nothing to do with sin; however, as we see, for mankind this is impossible
