How to NEVER SIN AGAIN!

“Every act of sin is an act of distrust in God.  And trusting God deprives sin and temptation of all their power.  He who trusts God will do right though the heavens fall.”  R.A. Torrey

 

Why do you sin? 

 

If we define sin as self centered conflict between you and the Creator, or you and creation, then you sin because you want something and you’re not getting it.

 

As it is written,

 

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?  You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

James 4:1-3 NIV

 

What do you want?

Really?

 

Do you believe God can and will give you what you really want?

 

It is written,

“Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

 

There it is.

IT.

What you want.

God.

And your heart’s desire.

 

Now if you have God, or if God is your heart’s desire, then how can you have any other desires?

 

Ask Adam.

Ask Eve.

 

God Himself looked at Adam and said, “It’s not good for the man to be alone.”

 

Now the man was alone with God!  What could be better than that? 

 

But Adam needed someone like him to share God with. 

 

He needed Eve.

 

God will give you Himself, and someone to share Him with.

If you trust God to do this, you will never sin again.
