"But that sounds crazy", you might say! It sounds crazy because it is the opposite of what Christ says to us. The world gives us tools and tells us to work hard to overcome our flaws, but God says the opposite.
1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin."
Romans 8:13-14
"For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God”
John 4:23-24 "…23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” "
1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
We do not have to work real hard to obey, we must simply confess our sin, trust Christ to change us and walk in obedience as led by Him. He will never instruct us to do anything that is not outlined in His Word the Bible.
If we think God is telling us to do something but it does not line up with His principles as described in the Bible, then it is not from Him.
