Word of God written by God or human being?

Phosphorus666:
Well, I cannot absolutely say that I have conquered it all, but I can assure you that I've, at least, gained victory in certain insurmountable quarters of worldly desires and I thank Jesus Christ who has constantly enabled me with his grace. However, I've learnt a lesson along the way in my pursuit of God's righteousness and holiness: unless your desire for holiness is as strong as a burning coal, you cannot achieve righteousness. I can remember how strong I yearned to be pure like Jesus, not just because I'm a Christian, but because I realized that that is the only way I could live a life of absolute quality. It wasn't easy going, and every now and then I prayed to Jesus for grace to help me achieve my desire. I wasn't really into fornication, but my sex urge for alarmingly crazy. I lusted for women in my enclosures, and I could strip any woman naked with my wild imaginations. I believed I wasn't normal. Yes, I believed I was sick and negatively crazy, and I did so many things I detested in secret. I prayed, I failed; I prayed, I failed again, and I asked God why. I cried every time because I couldn't help myself and God's help wasn't coming forth. Sometimes when I failed, I inflicted myself with knife injuries; countless times it was that way. But all I did not realize was that God was knowingly letting me pass through the fire of experience. One time He spoke to me, "The best of men are mould out of faults. So don't stop fighting, I'm watching you." I continued undauntedly. Today, I've overcome the lust of the flesh. Although their are still many grounds to cover for Jesus, I am happy for coming this far through his drops of grace.

More so, I will encourage everyone out there who is going through this challenge to also summon the courage of speaking out. Talk to a trusted friend about what you're going through. Sometimes we can find help in odd places. I began experiencing tremendous spiritual growth when I met my fiancée. Although she was raised in a Christian home, she is not the usual God-oriented stereotype. As modest as she is in the things of God, she will compel you to be the best human possible in character and personality. I had to come open to her and let her know my faults, and gradually I was lifted by her constant counsels. My mom was also there for me and my aunty, Martina. God just used these persons to administer extra dose to my soul.

For me, this is the best post I have read on NL especially your comment phosphorous. May God grant as many that desire to be holy and pure like our LORD Jesus the grace in Jesus name.

Living like God or do exact his words is not possible in Nigeria.

I always find peace listening to hip hop music. but guess what I m still a virgin at 25
A male for dat matter
so live ur life to inspire others let dem see d holiness in u not by acting as if u are

EternalBeing:
The central pursuit of every Christian should be to be holy. Holiness should not just be in words, but a way of life for every Christian. Remember, the biblical Apostles were not known and respected for their words. They are known by their acts, that why we don't have "Words of the Apostles" but "Acts of the Apostles".

Our Christian generation also needs to hand over a worthy account of life well lived in holiness (prerequisite for manifestation of God's power) to the generation coming after us.

To this end, we call on all Christians here that have been able to attain holy living to help other aspiring Christians by telling how they've been able to conquer "the lust of flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life" 1 John 2:16.

Most of us are not fully there yes, but surely and steadily on our way to irreversible holiness. So, let's share experiences, let others know everything that has helped you to become a holier and better person. "Iron shapeneth iron" Proverbs 27:17. We shall be rapture ready and we shall not miss Heaven in Jesus Name.

Great topic.

My steps
1. Attend holy mass as daily as possible to listen to the word of God & share in the life of Christ through Holy Communion (I am.a Catholic)
2. Join a society and get busy working for God, using your talent, time and treasure. We hold society meetings almost on a daily 1 - 2hrs in the evening after work. So adequate time is spent with God.
3. Join the dedicated special hours of prayer daily. Eg 9am, 12noon, 6pm. Imagine being joined together spiritually in a chain of prayer at those hours with other Christians all over the world. (A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian)

4. Filling my mind with great positive uplifting gospel songs (at home, on my laptop, phone , etc) & trying as much as possible not to listen to too much or vulgar secular songs or videos on YouTube
5. Keeping great friends. (Courtesy of 2 above, its easy)
6. Read the Bible, and at least one religious book every quarter. I am a voracious reader by d way.

I can teach you the prayers or send to you. By d way, what church you attend? Just asking..

pankere:
Romans 3:10 there is no one holy like the Lord
1st Samuel 2:2 No one is holy Like the Lord.
Isaiah 64-6 ALL our righteousness is like filthy rags unto the Lord.
The very nature of man is sin. We are born in sin. No step or tools or actions you can take as a human being that will make you attain holiness. That is why Christ was sent and died[/b]
