Reps: 999 (power: 0) | | I'm scared of anyone that claims to be sinless. We should strive to be sinless, but our salvation is not by our works. They always fall short. If we claim to be without sin, we decieve ourselves and the truth is not in us. I John 1:8 |

Reps: 36 (power: 0) | | well I don't really know much about sin, but I always know when what I'm doing is wrong - and these days I tend to think, what would God think of me? And how am I going to justify this to him when I die? So I guess Christianity has helped put me on a better road |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | a christian I know in my life that I had to serve God, it's something that was in me all along, but I kept trying over and over to be a christian, never really understanding how it works, but thank God, now that I've redecated my life to christ, I can say that I have a better understanding on who christ was and is and how he works, he just fills me up with his joy, I'am praying more, obeying more, going to church more, walking in the spirit more, which is the key to being a christian, once you believe, then there is where it starts, it's a spirtual change, God now lives in you, but we do not know this, because we're waiting for some reaction in the flesh, that is why some people say that even when they're saved, that they don't feel save, because they haven't believed first of all, you have to believe first of all, then you pray to God to guide you in the spirit daily, and you will feel that change in the spirit, right with in you, to all my Brothers and Sisters in christ, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, I leave you with this quote from gal 5:16 I say unto you walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh |

I just recently rededicated and I have stopped a lot of the sin I was involved in but, every day you realize different sins in your life. There will always be sin but I think I have made allot of progress. I am definately in a lott better of a place with sin than I was... but then again how can you ever be in a good place with sin?
Love in Christ,
