sin seems delicious as weird as it sounds, I hunger for more pleasure...BOOM Hebrews 10:26 comes across. This is my destiny? I mean I could still repent. I choose not to because I know I'll commit the same sin again. So I say "I'll wait until I graduate to repent and rededicate my life." The devil is trying to take over my life. Jesus is still Lord. But I still want pleasure. I choose this pleasure over Jesus. Now I'm caught in between Hebrews 10:26, well what can I do? See I want to be in heaven but I don't want to repent. I probably won't understand my situation until it's too late. I will never understand why I'm like this especially my personality. I'm losing my mind but I'm in contact with the carnal world. I zone out to think wow what a self-pitying fool am I. You guys the devil wants me. But pray for me so he cannot have me and Jesus have me. I messed up I wish I found God later in life. I just don't understand why God would put me in a situation where I could commit these sins and never come back. I don't knowz
This is what the grace of God should be teaching you:
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself
His own special people, zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)
This is what the grace of God is NOT meant to teach you:
"And why not
say, "Let us do evil that good may come"?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just." (Romans 3:8)
If you find yourself ensnared in sin, this is what you need to understand and do:
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." (1 John 1:8-2:6)
But does God expect us to walk alone, by our own power? Clearly not:
"The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you." (Romans 8:7-11)
Our Lord Jesus Christ declared: "I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing."
So if you find yourself ensnared in sin, you need to repent by first putting your trust in Jesus, who not only justifies us, saving us from the penalty of sin, but sanctifies us, saving us from the present power of sin, as clearly demonstrated in the aforementioned Scriptures. If we sincerely put our faith on Him, we operate by the power of the Holy Spirit who enabled Jesus Christ to do what He did as a man. The Scripture says: "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose (Philippians 2:12-13)."
So we must exercise self-discipline and self-control, fighting the good fight of faith, running the race and waging the good warfare (1 Timothy 6:12) because "we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12)." But "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4)."
Be willing to suffer in the flesh for God's sake, because it is not without sure and eternal promises and reward, by which Paul says: "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us (Romans 8:18)."
"Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin." (1 Peter 1:4)
