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.Jesus came to set us free from bondage.Having once been a slave to sin i know what it is like to have been set free by the power of God and that is what Christ is offering you today.All it takes is a desire to change or repent and admit we
cant do it and trust him to give you the strength to walk in him regards brentnz
Rick i struggled for
over 20 years as a christian in the end i said whats the point of struggling i feel powerless and useless so i gave in 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
If you could get in heaven because of your good deeds, why would JESUS had to have gone to the cross, you will not go to hell because you sinned, the bible says we all have sinned, you will go for rejecting GODS free gift, his son, JESUS, SEE, HE TOOK YOUR PLACE IF YOU EXCEPT HIS OFFER BUT IF NOT YOU PAY FOR ALL YOUR SINS, KIND OF LIKE COURT, BETTER TO TAKE AN ATTORNEY THAN REPRESENT YOURSELF, sorry for caps, GOD loved you so much he sent his son to die for you as payment for sin, you will answer to GOD for everything you do, JESUS lived a perfect life which was accepted by GOD for payment of sins, thats up to you if you except it, is bible vs man made religions, thats alot of commeon since, there are man made laws you go by or suffer for, plus, there are so many religions you can make one up to best suit you, it do nt work that way, plus, excepting JESUS is the best way to heaven, why would you think you caould live perfect your whole life, you
cant, the devil will use religion to lead as many people away from CHRIST as he can, even in the garden, eve was decieved.if the bible is not true than no man has anyright to even say whats right or wrong, things some people do they think is fine and so on, is stealing your car wrong, why, who said, and why are they right, think about it, salvation is simple, man makes it hard, other religions say you have to earn it, fine, if they live that good, they should except JESUS, why not except him, my way is through JESUS, if thats wrong, what have i lost, other ways are thru something or anything else, what if they are wrong, high price to pay for opinion, what if your son took someoneles punishment, and it cost him his life, how would you feel, think about GODS feelings, you
cant take a few verses from man religion and get anywhere, read the bible, if you believe theres a GOD in heaven, please do nt reject his son, all very good questions, thanks, i do nt want to be a problem, i just want you to be in heaven someday, i
cant be good enough to there there on my own, so i looked to the perfect one, JESUS, you do nt worked to get saved, you work because you are savd.you get get back out in sin and backslide, but, if your really saved, the
LORD lives inside you, it will bother you to do certain things, but you can get numb to it, plus, the bible says, you are not your own, you were bought with a price, JESUS BLOOD, free to you but cost him his life, GOD will chastise for repeated sin, you are his child, just like with your children, spend some time alone with GOD, ask him to show you, would love to talk to you guys
