So i was born again 9 years ago but ever since then i still keep struggling with my sinful past which I make mistakes and return to the same old ways, my own sinful lusts return again, i try to fight but as they never leave. I did felt completely free from this, but for 3 years until imade mistake sin , but i did repented many times for it, but sin than i felt i dont get close to God how i used to. Dont feel calling to return or seek him.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 Jn 1:9
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 Jn 1:9
Confessing our sins simply gets the Holy Spirit back into influencing our life so he can begin to lead us. But, it can not end there.
We will feel emptiness unless we eat our spiritual food. Its not about ritual. Its not repeating dogma. Its getting oneself into a good Bible teaching church where a pastor-teacher will feed the flock knowledge from God's Word that is needed to grow into what God wants us to become to become finally happy.
But be continuously growing in the grace and knowledge
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 2 Pet 3:18
Knowledge.. not dogma. We need to get understanding in our soul, so the Spirit can become one with our mind. Never can happen by just doing overt rituals that impart no knowledge. That makes one into a slave to religion, not spiritual Christianity.
Otherwise.. Emptiness and constant longing will end up being our only friend.
