W hen we talk about sins, the first things that came to Christians mind is sexual immorality. But this is just one of the sin. One of the reason why Christians backslided, or cast off their faith, is due to lack of knowledge where overcoming sins are concern.
WHAT WE MEAN BY BACKSLIDING:
IT IS NOT THE PLAN OF GOD FOR US TO OVERCAME IN A
PRACTICAL SENSE, UNTIL YOU FIRST SUFFER:
1Timothy 1:19-AV Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some
having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1Timothy 1:20-AV Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have
delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
1Peter 5:10-AV But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto
his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a
while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
If we overcame sins before we are broken by your own failures, and cast our self upon the mercies of God.
We will became cocky and fall into the condemnation of Satan. When a Christian think he or she is too strong, too perfect, too clean, they quickly became perfection alist, beating upon other weak Christians causing them to give up completely.
So it is not God plan for us to over came all sins in a practical way the moment we got save. In God mind, from the moment he save us, he already bank perfections on our accounts. Even if you failed every day, he is going to find a way to bring you in clean. However, God want you and I to reach the place where you can take on Satan on your own just like all the saints who gone on before us and beat him. This take time and knowledge. Any time knowledge came of how to deal with a certain sins, the sin ceases to be a problem.
Zechariah 4:6-AV Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 4:7-AV Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
2Corinthians 12:7-AV And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2Corinthians 12:8-AV For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 2Corinthians 12:9-AV And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
1John 1:8-AV If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1John 1:9-AV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1John 1:10-AV If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Isaiah 5:13-AV Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because [they have] no knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Hosea 4:6-AV My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea 11:7-AV And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
DO NOT GET ME WRONG GOD DESIRE US TO GROW AND COME OF AGE IN GRACE:
GOD EXPECT US TO LET OUR LIGHT SHINE:
YOU AND I ARE THE ONLY BIBLE SOME PEOPLE WILL EVER READ:
GOD EXPECT US TO BEAR FRUIT AFTER AWHILE:
Luke 13:6-9 (KJV) He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. [7] Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? [8] And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: [9] And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
WE ARE KNOWN BY OUR FRUIT:
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
John 15:1-7 (KJV) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. [5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Proverbs 24:4-AV And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 11:9-AV An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Jeremiah 33:3-AV Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
