Conquering sin in our life! We are called to purify ourselves just as Christ Jesus is pure if we desire to be received by Him to Himself on resurrection day! You might ask, “How is this possible?” People who are taught correctly know that sin separates them from God and leaves them destined for the lake of fire! To solve this problem the LORD describes two very important solutions for us to implement in our lives. First, we must become Christians and second we must continue the repentance process until we have become perfect and complete, mature in Christ! As many may know the first step is to obey the gospel plan of salvation. Many believe they are Christians but they don’t even know what the gospel of Christ is not to mention the gospel plan of salvation that brings about the forgiveness of sins and the indwelling presence of Christ in our bodies which is the definition of being a Christian and belonging to Him! We are going to focus on the second solution to the problem of sin. We must be transformed by the renewing our minds through the process of repentance. Today we will examine what I call the “Sin Cycle” which destroys or live and condemns us to the lake of fire if we do not repent. The second is to examine our hearts through what I call the process of “Spiritual Radiation.” Finally, the last step in conquering sin is to apply what I call “The Repentance Process.” All three parts of this second solution to our sin behavior problems are essential to understand and judiciously apply in our lives with great resolve and commitment.
