The concept of once saved always saved takes a bit to get your head around but
Gods grace is greater
than our sin and greater
than our good works it just takes faith in Jesus Christ to recieve
Gods grace.In saying that to continue to sin as a christian is like playing with fire you will be burnt.Paul talks of the sexual immorality in corinthian church of the son and father that were sleeping with the same wife they were excommunicated from the church the members were not allowed to even eat with them until they repented.There are consequences for our actions.The other side to this is that if you continue to sin as a christian you are not walking by faith but walking by the flesh and are really backsliding.In the backslidden state you also become powerless and open to attack by satan as long as we walk in the flesh he can influence us to get worse not better.If we are walking in Christ satan may still try to tempt us but we are empowered by the
holy spirit and overcome him and our faith increases.Both are saved by grace but one is powerless because of sin versus saved but an overcomer having been set free from sin i think this is what Paul was trying to explain.It is better to be an overcomer
than overcome by sin.brentnz

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
Yet the Church knows that it is sacrament and testimony, not for its own salvation, but for that of the world, that it serves the
God of the Covenant (which is the Church) by permitting and confessing him to be greater
than itself, so that the grace of which the Church is the enduring sign is victoriously offered by
God even to those who have not yet found the visible Church and who nevertheless already, without realizing it, live by its Spirit, the
Holy Spirit of the love and mercy of
God.

«WE HAVE THE VICTORY» For those struggling with thoughts of unforgiveness and attacks on the mind especially deceiving thoughts and doubts these are from satan in the word they are called fiery darts we are to quench those darts by faith so we need to read the word and believe that
Gods word is true.We also have the victory over these thoughts because when we accept Jesus the
holy spirit dwells within us so satan does nt have authority over us he can not rule what belongs to
God he can only deceive.We can not defeat the enemy in our strength we need the
holy spirit when we try and overcome him in our strength we struggle especially with our thoughs and in the area of sin.If you are having evil thoughts or doubts commit your way unto the Lord and let him fight your battle.Tell the enemy he has no authority over you that you are under the covering of Jesus Christ and when you have doubts memorise verses on faith ie greater is he that is in me
than he that is in the world.The
holy spirit is just like Jesus talk to him be friends with him he helps us to live like Christ and gives us the power to do it.We are overcomers more
than conquerers through Christ who strengthens us.brentnz
Now that the author has seemingly done damage to the integrity of the biblical text to the point that we can apparently know nothing more, or do nothing more,
than feel our way around in the dark never being certain of what
God's
Holy Word says I ask this question:
I really feel for those who are struggling with adultery and it seems the reoccuring question is the same.Will
God forgive me if i have committed adultery and the answer is yes we all are sinners and we all have sinned no sin is worse
than the other to
God.If you are feeling bad because for what you have done then it is the
holy spirit drawing you to him repent and turn from your sin.
God wants all of us to draw near to him to get our hearts right to stop making the same mistakes over and over again.If you feel weak he gives the strength to deal with it rather
than trying sort it out on our own.He forgives us because he loves us but we may have to bear the consequence of our sin like David and his family suffered for his choices regarding his affair with bathsheba but
God forgave him for his sin.
Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let
God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is not to boast because of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his
holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more
than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz
