1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
v.16 For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.
Sin is a tricky thing. There are times we sin and don't even know it. And other times we know we are sinning yet don't want to stop. But when John wrote this he knew the stronghold that sin had over us yet the power Jesus has. I think if we remain in the security of Christ and keep reminding ourselves of His word, sin wouldn't be so hard to walk away from.
v.27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
I have thought many times that when i sin i lose what God has given me. But if that were true then the concept of grace wouldn't be around. God is showing us that sin doesn't ruin everything. If it did than the power and authority wouldn't be as strong as He has said it was. Sin can destroy us but Jesus takes those destructed pieces and puts us back together.
Lord,
I am in pieces. There are many things i do and keep doing but i want to stop. There are things i know yet don't know which brings more confusion. Father, help me and forgive me for my sins, my thoughts and my actions. You know the depth os my heart even things i don't know. I ask you, I plead show me and make things clear to me so i live solely in you.
I forever love you
Amen
I love God more than anything in this world. I am not perfect and mess up from time to time. Though my heart is true and He knows it.
