A Spirit led life can abstain from sin,for we do not want to sin,and hate sin,and God does not allow us to be tempted above what we are able,and will give us an escape from the temptation,and the Spirit will lead us to do good,but it is because we make the choice to not want sin.
The Spirit will only lead people that do not want sin,and hate sin,for if they hold unto sin they choose to be led of the flesh,and not the Spirit.
It is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,so we have a choice,and if we did evil there is no excuse,for we could have chosen the good.
It is not that we cannot abstain from sin,but we want to sin,for if we do not want to sin,and mean it,by the Spirit we can abstain from sin.
People that say we sin daily are at fault,for they come across as there is no way we can abstain from sin,but by the Spirit we can abstain from sin,and if they sin daily it is not because they could not abstain from sin,it is because they wanted to sin.
It is not that we cannot abstain from sin,but we want to sin,and we can choose the good.
They act as if there is no way we can abstain from sin,but we are not forced to do evil,and we can choose the good.If you do evil,the choice of good was there,so how can they have an excuse.
The people that choose to hate sin,and do not want sin,will see the truth of the Bible,and the people that like sin,and want to hold unto sin,will not see the truth of the Bible,and say they cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with Christ.
The truth is the reason they say we cannot beat sin,is because they like sin,and want an excuse for their sinful behavior,and fool themselves in to thinking that they are trying to beat sin,but cannot do it,but really they want to sin,and they choose the evil,and not the good.No excuse.
To be Christlike means to represent goodness,but they do not even care to be like their Master,even though the Spirit is there to cause them to be Christlike,like the Spirit caused the man Christ Jesus to be Christlike.
They say they love Christ,but do not want to be like Him,being ashamed that He represents goodness,by their lifestyle.
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
They do not come to the truth that they have to abstain from sin,led by the Spirit,and are lovers pf pleasures more than lovers of God.They love going by their wants,and not only their needs,and helping people with their needs.They like the world,and the things in the world.They do not separate themselves from the world,or at least not enough.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus said they cannot dwell with Him because they were workers of iniquity,they would not get rid of their sins,but thought it did not affect their relationship with Jesus.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Everyone that names the name of Christ has to depart from iniquity.
People that believe that we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect our relationship with Christ,will hold unto sin for they think they are alright,and then it puts them in a wrong position spiritually.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
The crown of life is given to all that love Jesus,and not a reward for some,and not others,but it is given to all who love Jesus,so it is given to all the saints,and is eternal life.
Also it states,blessed is the person that endures temptation,for when they are tried,they shall receive the crown of life,which means blessed is the person that endures temptation,and does not play on it,and beats it,and does not sin,they are the ones that shall receive the crown of life,and the ones who love Jesus.
Why,because they were not workers of iniquity,but did not want sin,and hated sin,and was led of the Spirit to accomplish their set out goal,wanting to be like Christ,their Lord and Master,whom they love dearly.
If they do not abstain from sin by the Spirit,and hold unto sin,God said that it brings forth death.
Do not be deceived,do not be deceived.
The people that like to sin,and want to hold unto sin,will not see the truth of the Bible,for they want to see an interpretation that caters to their flesh,that they cannot beat sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with Christ,for they want to enjoy the sins they enjoy.
They do not have a leg to stand on,and their fleshy interpretation has no substance,and reality,concerning truth,and there is no debating with them,for they see it according to the flesh,like the new age movement that interprets the Bible according to the flesh,that exalts people through the power of nature.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
What excuse is there,for a Spirit led life will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh,they are tempted,but they do not sin,and they show the fruit of the Spirit,and no sinful ways of the flesh,so they are abstaining from sin,so they are not under the law,which means the law cannot touch them for prosecution.
People that say we cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with Christ,will hold unto sin,for if they did not want sin,and hated sin,they would not believe those things,and they are under the law,which means they law can touch them for prosecution,for they are led of the flesh,and not the Spirit.
