We all have a choice with our free will, GODs ways or the devils ways, light or darkness.

If anyone chooses light, and wants to be like GOD and puts thier faith and trust in Jesus Christ for eternal life and repents of all their sins, GOD will wash them in the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for our sins and fill them with the Holy Spirit adopting them as His child & by the Spirit of GOD within them give power to put to death all sin working in the flesh.

Jesus said some people would rather keep the pleasures of sin rather than have a relationship with GOD and be like GOD. Some do not come to Jesus Christ becuase they do not want to let go of what is giving them pleasure but leading them to hell.

Or they fulfill the scriptures of 2 Timothy 4:3 who after their own lusts heap to themselves teachers having itching ears for someone to tell them its normal to continue in sin and its "ok" because we are all in this sinful flesh.

But in Christ the flesh is to be put to death by the Holy Spirit, (Romans 8:13), And they that are Christs have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts (Galations 5:24). And whoseoever abideth in Him sinneth not (1 John 3:16). And IF any man sin not WHEN we sin (1 John 2:1) we can come to Jesus Christ who is our advocate to the Father. Jesus told the women in adultery whom He had forgive to go and sin no more, not to keep being bound by it and falling in it over and over. (John 8:11).

But all of this I speak in love. Of course the flesh does not like it, its always against the things of GOD, but the choice and the straight and narrow way is there before us in Chist Jesus, and GOD will help us and He is merciful and loves us! You can enjoy a life living holy! In fact, there is no sin or worldly pleasure than can compare to actually having a real relationship with Jesus

John 3:19
"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."

2 Thessalonians 2:12-14
"That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."

God's mercy is a second chance to change our ways. More chances than that for many of us. If we didn't have forgiveness to learn from our mistakes, we wouldn't have free will in life. It's knowing when we've done wrong and how we're able to do right. This is only possible following Christ who showed us the way to humble ourselves when in the flesh and to come be raised in the spirit.

If we could just learn to listen when our hearts tell us we're straying from the path; it'd be easier for us to stay going forward as called. God have mercy upon us, forgiven our sins!
