DEALING WITH HABITUAL SIN


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DEALING WITH HABITUAL SIN

It is very clear in the teachings of the Scripture that no Christian is sinless (1 John 1:8-10), but it is also clear that God expects the true believer to not sin habitually. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in Him, and he cannot practice sin because he is born of God (3:9).

To Practice sin is to see sin as a way of life.
An unsaved person lives a life of habitual sin. The sin of unbelief is a normal thing for the lost person. A true believer does not live in habitual sin. He may commit occasional sins ( I mean he may fall into it unknowingly or push by flesh nature) but he will not make it a habitual practice.

The word Holy, Holiness, Saint and Sanctify, comes from a Greek root meaning, to set apart to God. The believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is set apart for God by the Holy Spirit. The Saint is a person set apart for God, enjoying a holy standing before God in Christ Jesus, with the obligation of living a holy life (1 Pet. 1:15-16).

The evidence of the new birth is righteous behavior in the life of the believer. Sanctification is evident in a changed life. God changes us from the inside out (2 Cor. 5:17). And we must live for his glory.

This is what God is calling us to, today as you go out let your life reflect his holiness, his glory and his praise.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS, DESTROY EVERY DEMONIC POWER IN OUR LIFE'S AND HABITUAL SINFUL LIFE IN JESUS NAME
