Bible Question:
Tara Bug, How can you know that you can control yourselves? How do you know that you can always say no? How do you know that you can correct a mistake even if it is only for a minute? You can say that you won't have intercorse of course, but that doesn't make it right. |
Bible Answer: You can't control yourself, by yourself. Even Paul said "oh, wretched man that I am!". Even Jesus was tempted. Taking that temptation one step further is what becomes sin. Our physical bodies will always be subject to sin. But we are spirit. There is the battle. Walking in the spirit, always. That means filtering EVERYTHING through the spirit. Every action, every thought, every mood we should filter through the Holy Spirit, through Jesus before we act on it. Who do you love the most? When Jesus is your first true love you will not want to do anything that will hurt Him. Love the Lord your God with all your Heart, Soul, Mind and Body. The only time you will fall into the traps of sin is when you take your eyes of Jesus. Just as Peter did in the water. If you sin because it's Ok, Jesus will forgive you, then you must wonder . . . do you really believe, or are you just looking for a "fire escape?" |
