My friend Ben. First we must recognize who God really is. He is the all powerful creator of the universe who is also all knowing, so He knows everything you think and do and feel. THAT alone should make us tremble with fear!! We cannot fool God and He won't be mocked. Then we must also recognize what sin is. In romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death. And Jesus took that wage and what a price He paid. It was only through His suffering and torture that we are forgiven. How can we go on sinning while knowing that the Son of God came and humiliated Himself and was tortured for our sin??
1 John 3:9 (New King James Version)
9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
This means that he who truly is born of God recognizes what sin is, IT IS SPIRITUAL DEATH AND GOD HATES SIN!!!. Therefore, you must be born of God my friend.
Matthew 16:24 (New King James Version)
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Deny those things that bring you pleasure, because of those things the wrath of God is coming upon the children of disobedience. Recognize the price that it took for Christ to forgive you of your sins and die to your sins. And if you truly love Him...Jesus Promises Another Helper
John 14:15
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.
You cannot keep His commandments unless you are born of God. You can try on your own power but it will be too hard and almost impossible. The only way you can do this is if you are filled with the Holy Spirit. You must ask for Him to take over your life and your will and every desire you have. And this doesn't only happen once, you must remain in communion with God always in thanksgiving and reading and putting His word in your heart that you may not sin against Him!
God bless you
