for us, if we accept 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 out of marriage, lie, break every commandment of God, i don't think this is
meaning grace covers those sins, until they repent and ask
for forgiveness, a lot of people will

to God
for leading these people the wrong way, not saying you are one of them, but be careful, everything we teach or preach must line up with the word of God, God hates sin,

to sin that did nt work either but i was so sick of struggling and seeing the same results i became more miserable and even more powerless in my struggle with sin.I decided one day no more enough was enough i needed
to get my life back in order.That was years ago and it was a process over 5 years that God dealt with all those things in my life that needed fixing most days i just said
to him Lord i cant do this i just do nt have the strength and he said thats okay you cant do it anyway just trust me.So now now i l know what it
means to be an overcomer in Christ sin does not have the victory over me anymore because Jesus is my strength in my weakness.I know i cant live a christian life in my strength but i certainly can with Christ in me he is my strength and in him i am an overcomer.If this is speaking
to others just want
to let you know that you
to can be an overcomer you do nt have
to struggle or battle with your walk or feel miserable because you give in
to sin there is a better way.Just admit that you cant do it and ask
for his help
for the holy spirit is in you and he is the one who helps us in our weakness.regards brentnz

to church together we love the Lord just
as much
as you do which
means we are brothers and sisters in Christ.Just trust him and take each day
as it comes he promises
to never leave us or forsake us.He has given us his strength in our weakness so that like him we are overcomers the head not the tail.Keep asking the Lord what it is he wants you
to do and be obedient though it may be hard but in the
end it will prove good
for you
for the Lord is
for you not against you.regards brentnz
