So long as you ask for forgiveness later, then it's okay to sin:blessed:. So go ahead and commit every sinful deed your heart desires, just don't forget to ask for forgiveness before you go to bed at night, so in case you die in your sleep you will go to heaven :mjgrin:


your gonna be in for a rude awakening........those who use God grace for lasciviousness or as a license to sin are gonna be in for a rude awakening.....


But anyway its tough definitely, tough because the flesh and spirit are in a constant battle against each other. As you grow you do yearn for more spiritual things but at the same time your flesh is in opposition that stuff. and with all the things in the world ( lust of the flesh, eye and pride of life) that we get bombarded everyday its tough. that's why u gotta pray and read the word daily , their is no way outta of it.

plus been black and a believer puts an extra strain on your patience... dealing with cacs is the same as a non believing breh :francis:

How hard was it turning your life over to god? Giving up all the sinful things you done in the past for good and becoming full time dedicated to the lord?:patrice:currently going through something like that now

You can't do it in your own strength. It's not your responsibility to give up those things. Once you accept Christ as your savior and you yield to the Holy Spirit, he does the work for you, but you have to yield and NOT try to do it in your own strength because you will fail. That's the mistake alot of people make.

You’re a jerk but still a fellow child of God via Jesus dying for our sins which we were born in.

To answer OP: It is easy giving up sinful things, it is hard not reverting back to them when things don’t go your way. We must remind ourselves that it isn’t our way but the Lord’s way. Stay in the Word as much as possible.

A sermon I watched confirmed something for me. Constantly sinning and running back to the things God pulled us out of is what is keeping us from our destinies. I want to marry (I know GMB don’t come for me) and have another child but I won’t have that if I keep up my former sexual immorality. It won’t help me get the woman I’m in love with. I gotta put God first and keep Him there above all else.

An analogy is people getting out of jail, saying they hate jail/prison and want to stay out to do better things but instead go and do the very things that will most likely get them put back in jail/prison. That’s what sinning does.

What does that have to do with being a christ like person?

This is why man made religions are so corny.
They talk about wine and drinking in Genesis but drunkenness is frowned upon. Sexual immorality and irresponsibility should be looked down on too. I indulged in both. It’s not a great feeling and through the Lord is my strength to over these iniquities.

Once you understand that Christ is and was the only man that has lived the perfect life, and you can trust Him then your mind will be at peace. Nobody else is going to be perfect, until the day of His return. Doesn't mean you don't become better as time moves into the future. That's exactly what is supposed to happen. That's why young Christians should hang around older Christians. They have a lot that you can learn.

Paul says it best

do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.>For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.



this has be many times sleeping with a woman, watching porn then feeling so guilty

thing is the Holy Spirit is always there and I like pushed it to the back of my mind and continued defiling. It’s tough but just got to continue pushing

Even then you will fail many time’s. One thing I love about the bible is that all these great prophets who has a one on one connection with God, even though who walked and saw Jesus failed time and time again
