Jesus as our savor then we are to obey his commandments, not break them, we are to live a righteous and holy life as possible, the bible plainly list a whole list
of things if we live in will not to to heaven unless we repent, if we die while in these sins, we will not go to heaven, what is the difference, between someone who said a prayer and someone who did not, and they are living the same way, none, i think, if we are truly saved it should be hard to do these things let alone live and do them everyday, i would be afraid to tell people that it does not matte grace covers their sins, i really think it is the slip ups that we are convicted
of by the Holy Spirit and we ask for forgivness, how can anyones
heart be right with God and they have sex all the time

Tommy God has already forgiven you for your sin the moment you asked
Jesus into your life and confessed him as Lord.From that point he paid for your sin in full past present future.It is not sin that stops us from being with the Lord so you are saved.The problem you are experiencing is the battle for your life in the here and now satan is
out to destroy you and he knows our weaknesses.If you are honest there were already issues in your life that you struggled with and never got the victory over.So where do you go from here as i found myself in the same situation i was a christian but walking according to the flesh.God does nt change his mind he always loves us but because
of our choices we distance ourselves from God.The issue is that we like sin thats our wicked
hearts and to be fair we cant change our nature only Christ can do that our old nature must be crucified with Christ.The stumbling block is our pride we have to admit that we cant do it For me that was terribly difficult i was so independent thinking i could do anything but the truth was a made a real mess
of things.I sense you are at a crossroads and are feeling desperate and confused.So as a brother in the Lord you need to confess your sin to God and tell him that you are weak -LCB- we all are -RCB- and that you cant do it in your strength -LCB- None
of us can -RCB- but ask him to send the holy spirit to help you deal with the temptations and the sin that you struggle with and he will help you to change your life he will empower you as he did me.Rather than look at who you are look to Christ and walk in him and he will make you a new man and sin will not have dominion over you.

of the beauty and heavenly love

Every since mankind has been as the Apostle described us in his epistle (Again, 2 nd Timothy 3:1 - 5; see also what
Jesus said in Mark 7:20 - 23), the only thing that has «advanced «at our hands is our architecture, our technology, and our search for medicinal cures for what ails us.No one is denying that we've done tremendous good with these various advances, but we've also done awful, vicious, horrendous atrocities and brutalities as well.I've heard it quoted that
out of all the centuries, millennia that we've considered ourselves «civilized», we've had only a few hundred years where something approximating peace has held sway among us.So again, I'm all world seeking to «make the world a better place», as it were; I just believe that mankind in his present moral, ethical, and spiritual configuration is capable
of doing so.We can always enhance
out technological prowess, improve our architechural designs, and make our drugs more powerful, but what about our
hearts?
Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that
Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related
of the woman caught in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow
Jesus no we are told he goes to the temple and
Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the way
of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver
of is speaking to him to go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations
of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture
of our
hearts on the one our love for sin and on the other the desire to work
out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings
of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way
of thinking.brentnz
People too often talk about
Jesus aside from his words, about his compassion towards all, while they fail to wrestle with some
of his steepest moral teachings: «Whoever divorces his wife... and marries another, commits adultery; Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his
heart; If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it
out and throw it away; I have come to bring not peace but the sword; Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy
of me» (Mt 19:9, 5:28, 5:30, 10:14, 10:37).

I pretty much agreed with most
of what you have said and i think that the sinners prayer has been misused as a get
out of Jail free card.A couple
of things that people miss is that God is in charge.As soon as you offer yourself to God and accept
Jesus Chris the holy spirit has liberty to work on you.Because he loves us he will discipline us so that we do repent
of our sins.The downside
of living a walk like that you are a hypocrite until you admit your sinfulness the holy spirit can not help us because
of our pride.The second part was you talking about disciplining the flesh personally you cant discipline that which is corrupt our
hearts are deceitfully wicked we need new
hearts no amount
of effort on our part will transform our
hearts that is the work
of the holy spirit he changes our
hearts so that we no longer desire to sin we would rather serve the Lord with all our
hearts instead.brentnz
Jeremy I agree its not about what we can do but all about what
Jesus has done for us it is all about his grace not following mans laws or trying to please the pastor or the church.Be respectful for those in authority and show them Gods love work hard as for the Lord as you serve them and pray for them but do nt try and please them.We no longer follow the ways
of the world we live to please the Lord and worship him not man because that is idolatory.Thats why religion does nt work we can do nothing to add to Gods grace.Grace is also not a licence to sin as some christians believe and God is not fooled if we do not repent and turn from our sin he does nt hear our prayers if the intents
of our
heart are wrong.God listens to the humble and the repentent sinner or saint.The journey in following Christ is about how much do we want to follow
Jesus to discover the abundant life and richs in Christ we must fully give him all our
hearts and serve him wholehearted
out of thankfulness for his grace and mercy towards us.brentnz
