Are you struggling with a specific SIN?
We are all sinners and will never be 100% free from sin but we can progress forward to sin “LESS†than we have in the past. One thing we can count on is we will be “Tempted†but it is not God that is tempting us, it is our own evil desires.
God is for us and wants us to live without sin although he understands that we cannot achieve this at the level of Christ so he has given us Grace (Grace is not to be used as a wild card to do what our evil desire wants). We cannot sin unless we first conceive the evil desire. One of the best analogies I have heard is that of being pregnant. A woman cannot get pregnant unless she conceives but before that she has to engage into an act and before that would have had to make a decision/choice.
• So in your like what choices/decisions are you making that take you into conceiving?
• How can you keep the door shut to sin?
These verses are powerful: James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
