Dear sister in Christ Jesus! I want to remind you that even though you sin, even though you fall, because of your advocate Jesus Christ, God still see's you as righteous, pure, good, and holy! Because of the blood of Jesus! Understanding this has helped me overcome Mastribation myself! i started proclaiming that I am righteousness in God through Jesus Christ, No matter how many times i failed, i convinced myself that i am Righteous, i understood that Jesus Christ still loved me, and i knew he could be my way out! And next thing i know i overcame it! Understanding His deep, uncondtional, never ending love for and his forgiveness for you can really help change your life! You see the bible said he died to forgive us of ALLL our sins
Colossians 2:13-14
13You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
14He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
Look at verse 13, he said that we were once dead, but through Christ he made us alive by forgiving us of ALL (Which is every) sin. Past,present, and Future! And notice in verse 14 he said that Jesus canceled the record against by the CROSS! It was his blood for us that set us free from Sin! and its his blood that forgave us of every sin we might ever do! Praise God for his unending love!
Another note, please understand that you are saved by grace! (not by laws, or the 10 commandments) But 100% his Grace! And his Grace doesnt have the whole cants and can, because honestly, if we continue to think about sin, we'll eventually fall into it! Look at this verse!
Romans 8:1
1.So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
There no condemnation! No need to condemn yourself if not even Jesus Does!! God is never angry at your sins, See Jesus took our punishment, he took our sin, we transferred our sins unto him and in return he TRANSFERRED HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS INTO US!! Isnt that beautiful? So he doesnt look at me As Sam the mastibator, Sam the sinner instead he looks at me As Sam the Jesus Christ! He no longer see's our sin's! We are free from it! And the bible says that Grace will teach us not to sin! Not laws and regulations, and cans and cannots! So rely fully on the Grace of God, Instead of saying I WILL OVER COME THIS SIN, Starts saying GOD I CANT OVER COME THIS SIN, BUT I KNOW THROUGH YOU I CAN! I THANK YOU FOR BEING MY STRENGTH!.. See the differnce? the first prayer made it sound like that person was trying at their own efforts, the second prayer made it sound likehe needed God to help him get through it because he understood that he cant over come with out Christ! Look its even Scripture!
Luke 18:9-14
[SUP]9 [/SUP]To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: [SUP]10 [/SUP]“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. [SUP]11 [/SUP]The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. [SUP]12 [/SUP]I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
[SUP]13 [/SUP]“But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
[SUP]14 [/SUP]“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
See how the Pharisee prayed like he made his own righteousness? that he can overcome things by himself? In this case Jesus pretty much said that he will continue being a sinner and falling into sin! But the Tax Collector went home righteous and justified! Because you are a Christian, and believe in Jesus Christ, means that God will always see you as righteous! Its just up to you to accept Gods righteousness and accept his blood that it forgave you and walk in that forgiveness!!!
Love you sis!
I have every once of Faith in you that you can over come this!
