I sin because I do not love God
enough to make myself
cease from all sin.
Why do you sin?
At least you admit it. But here is the secret. STOP TRYING TO DO IT YOURSELF, let GOD's LOVE that He put in you when you were Born Again,
Rom. 5:5, be the SEED in your heart that produces an abundant harvest OF LOVE FOR HIM and the brethren, the exact same kind of LOVE HE PUT IN YOU. In other words YOU DO NOT GET THE CREDIT, YOU GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO HIM.
1 John 3:14-19 (HCSB)
14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we
love our brothers. The one who
does not love remains in death.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
16 This is how we have come
to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his ⌊need⌋
—how can God’s love reside in him?
18 Little children,
we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action.
19
This is how we will know we belong to the truth and will convince our conscience in His presence,
Galatians 2:20-21 (HCSB)
20 and
I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
YOU ARE TRYIN TO DO IT YOURSELF, instead of TRUSTING IN CHRIST TO DO IT THROUGH YOU.
