We are born sinful. Even when we accept Jesus as our Saviour, and we are filled with the Holy Spirit, the new spirit living in us is constantly at war with the old sinful person.
Sin is a fact and all of us sin. But when we are filled with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sins. And immediately we confess our sins, Jesus steps in and becomes our advocate with GOD. Through Jesus Christ, once we confess our sins to GOD and ask for forgiveness, GOD assures us that our sins are removed as far as East is from West.
This is only through the Grace of GOD. And through the propitiation of Jesus who took all our sins, past, present and future onto that cross and He paid the price in full so that we can live a life unburdened by sin.
Does this mean that we can go on sinning? Absolutely not. We need to stop sinning and although it is difficult, we will constantly be reminded by the Holy Spirit when we sin.
Having a living relationship with GOD also helps us to grow more and more like Jesus. The more we read the Bible, the more we fellowship with other Christians, the more we pray the less we are likely to sin.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER I thank YOU for Jesus. I thank YOU for YOUR grace. FATHER help me to sin less and less. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
