How Not To Struggle With Sin by vanen2: 10:08pm On Jan 20, 2015 |
Struggling with sin means that you are struggling with your love of a desires of sin. Part of you wants to sin, you want to do it otherwise it would not be a struggle and their is a part of you, the way inside that Jesus put into you, that doesn't not want to sin and these two are in conflict. But when you struggle with your evil desires and you decide that you love it and you want to accept it, it is then that you will fall into the sin, feel guilty afterwards and repent, fall into the sin again and then feel guilty afterwards and try and repent again. Yet you never repented because deep down you love this sin and you do not want to turn away from it. So when the hour of trial comes, the heat of the moment and the temptation, it is there that you do not turn away from your love of sin and it is right there that you fail and show that you love sin more than Jesus. Let us stop struggling with our love of evil and instead turn to Jesus Christ full heartedly and crucify that evil desire before him and no longer let it take you into the depths of sin. But instead decide to follow Jesus full heartedly and instead turn away from struggling. My friend you do not need to stubble with sin no more, you can turn away from it today. When you fight evil desires this is very different to struggling. Fighting means you put on the full armour of the Lord and in temptation you stand firm and you don't give in. That is the victorious person. It is only these people who will enter the kingdom. The people who are not victorious will not inherit the kingdom of God. They shall not have their names written in the book of life and they shall not be able to be received by Jesus when he comes. Because Jesus only promised the good things to those who overcome. He did not promise the promises of eternal life to those who do not overcome. They shall not have the gift of eternal life for they do not overcome. I encourage you today greatly to think deeply and make up your mind today, all of you mind, so that you stop struggling with sin and you no longer struggle with it instead you turn away from your desires and instead you put Jesus first in all of your heart... |
