There was a man that had an infirmity for 38 years. Jesus healed him, and told him
Joh 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Do you think after hearing those words from Jesus, and being sick for 38 years, that he was going to start living in sin again? i am like that man. i do all things to please Jesus Christ. i do not knowingly or willingly commit any sin.
There is no sin that you do that you can't cease from, not a one. Therefore the question is, why are you not ceasing from them? Those who love to sin, will not cease to sin.
i love Jesus Christ so much, i have given him my life. literally, i am His slave, i do all things to please my Lord Jesus Christ. Every temptation that comes my way, He helps me to overcome them.
Now What? because you don't think it is possible, i must be lying? Jesus gave His life for me, therefore i have given my life for Him. i listen to the Bible 8 hours a day at work, pray going to and from work. i have no Cable, satalite, or the like. i do have netflix and like watching Jesus movies, Bible stuff, and occasionally Frasier. i abhor satan, he is the enemy of my Lord and Savior, i will NOT obey the Lord's enemy when he comes tempting me. All sin is selfishness, if i give my life to Him, it is no longer my life, but His to do with as He sees fit. Jesus Christ is on my mind every waking minute of the day. Christian Stickers all over my car, Jesus pictures on every wall in my house, Shirts that i wear, all testify of Jesus, except my work shirts, Music that i do listen to every so often is Christian or oldies, wear a ring that says Jesus, wear a cross necklace. i do all those things to help me keep my mind and thoughts on HIM all day long. i do not give satan time or place in my life. i have been called a Jesus Freak not a little. Which i confirm that i am. If i give place one little bit in my life. satan will devour me, and eat me up. Therefore i don't give him any foothold in my life. i do all things to please Jesus Christ. i am His, i belong to Him, i do not do anything that i think He would not like.
And hear is the kicker, which this generation is not going to like. If i can do it, SO CAN YOU. But how many are willing to Truly give up the life that they living now, to serve ONLY Jesus Christ? Again, there is NO sin that you do that you can't cease from, so why are you not ceasing from it, that is the question isn't it?

How does that line up with this. Aren't you deceiving yourself, if not why aren't you?
1 John 1:8-10 KJV
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Just because i say i no longer sin, does not mean i HAVE never sinned. For it is written For all HAVE sinned. HAVE is past tense. The verse does not say what this generation thinks. This generation thinks the verse says "For all WILL sin"
When Jesus told that man and woman to "Go and sin no more" When they did as Jesus told them, they could not say the Have no sin, even though they no longer continue to live in sins.
i no longer continue to live in sin, does that mean i am saying or thinking that i "HAVE NEVER SINNED"? God forbid. Just because i say i no longer live in sin, does not mean i think i HAVE never sinned. please correct your thinking on that.
