I hate all sin because of Christ Who lives in me. Because I
do, when I am tempted I run from sin.
However, sometimes I ponder a wrong attitude a little too
long, which shows me that there is still something in me the Lord needs to work
on.
Notice I said, "it shows me", God already knows my
heart better than I do, but He wants to give me the choice to become more holy,
so He reveals to me my own heart.
Christ is the very essence of His commandments, He lives in
me.
He said "I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE."
When I veer to the right or to the left, I don't have to
consciously ponder whether or not to follow the commandments Right from wrong
immediately comes to mind.
If I obey I am blessed, if I disobey I feel the impact of
the pressure of guilt that the Holy Spirit brings upon me until I confess and
forsake. Yet I am still a child of God.
Hebrews 12:6
"FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE
SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."
1 John 3:6-10 "No one who abides in him keeps on
sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little
children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous,
as he is righteous. "
"Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil,
for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God
appeared was to destroy the works of the devil."
"No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for
God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been
born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the
children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,
nor is the one who does not love his brother."
