Great video for anybody who may be struggling with continual, ongoing sin...
Many Christians, followers of Christ, may feel discouraged about their sinning, may feel as if they are not truly saved if they keep going back and sinning...
And while that is true to an extent, those who CONTINUOUSLY sin with NO REMORSE, who sin on a daily basis without batting an eye, are not saved.. they are not born again. But a true born again Christian will express sincere regret about their sin, a true born again Christian is truly ashamed of their sin, and a true born again follower of Christ will not willingly sin on a daily basis...
If you are truly born again, you are not the same person you were in times past, the person who lived to satisfy their pleasures, their desires... their lusts. If you are truly born again, you are born again into a "new creature" in Christ...
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
But still, in our current day and age, sin can sneek up on you and sweep you up off your feet before you even know it...
Temptation is everywhere, as our society is a society of sin and rebellion, rebellion against God, holiness, and righteousness.
Every twist and turn we are bombarded with temptation to carry out our lusts... to act our unaccordingly, to act out in anger...
Whether it be television and movies trying to manipulate our emotions, trying to mold us into the societal conforms of our culture. Or the internet, which every person has access to whenever they want...with the ability to satisfy any desire you could imagine with the click of a few buttons.
Which is why it's important to recognize these temptations as you see them. Spot them in the distance before they get too close and capture you... before they sweep you off the straight and narrow, head first onto the broad path leading to utter destruction.
Matthew 7:13-14
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Remember, that sin may be pleasing to our flesh, but it breaks the heart of our Lord God Almighty. And if it breaks your heart as well when you get caught up in sin, well that is a sign that you are truly saved, and have been born again into a new creature... a sign that God is working within you, and that he has bigger and better plans for you...
Do not be too discouraged if you sin, just pick yourself up off of the broad path, and get right back onto the straight and narrow without a moments thought.
Keep yourself grounded in the Word, the TRUTH of scripture.... the teachings of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:17
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Peace be to you all...
And God bless you.
