I'd say they live their life as they "believed" or want to believe he lived his; I tend to think there's a lot the Bible leaves out, but that's just me. It's a great thought to want to and try to live your life free of sin (however you define that), but I don't feel it's possible and I take issue with degree of sin as well. That's why I am confident in my belief that I strive to be as kind and generous as I can be and never hurt anyone else, that's my ultimate goal as far as my "religion" goes.
But, to be clear, if people live their life the way they think Jesus did, then that's a great way to attempt to live, but holding yourself up to the standard of someone written about in such high regard only sets you up for failure. He was written as perfection, no one is perfect. Therein lies the problem, IMO.
