Being Stuck inside a Sinful Cycle
It sucks, it truly does. I'm pretty sure we've all been through it several times. Whether it's cussing, lust, adultery, etc. We've all been there before! The relationship destroyer, the block that keeps hindering our relationship with God.
Most of the times, I've always asked myself how do I defeat it. How can I break through such a heavy and repetitive cycle? Sometimes it feels like I'M THE ONE who keeps building the wall even though I knew what I'm doing was WRONG.
It was hard stopping and I had a difficult time doing so.
Until the very day when I was reborn through the Holy Spirit. That day I felt as if Jesus held my hand and we both punched and destroyed the sinful wall together. The wall which was blocking me from God. The wall I struggled with for 16 years. Because of his grace, I am finally free from my sinful nature.
Lessons I learned from my walk with Jesus Christ:
1. When God says he forgives, he truly does.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
- 1 John 1:9 ESV
2. In order to build a relationship with God, we need to go through Jesus Christ first.
"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the manChrist Jesus,"
- 1 Timothy 2:5 ESV
[ Definition for MEDIATOR ]

All Glory goes to God. God bless you all.
