If we cannot speak very confidently about these things, then we need to go back to some basic truths of God's Word and begin to trust the Lord and treasure His Word. Do we treasure what God treasures? Do we really believe His ways are better? Do you think God is keeping the best from you by His commands for purity? The first challenge is regarding what we value. I have earlier pointed out how there are two particular areas that need to be rebuilt. We have come to believe false things are true. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust" (2 Peter 1:3-4).

If we properly have the Spirit of God build the foundation, we will stand. We might be able to sustain some pressure but finally our lives will give in.

We need to recognize that a fight is needed. The Lord does want us to live holy lives, free from our selfish manipulation of others and free to treat others kindly whether in thought or in deed.

We have no personal righteousness that is accepted before God but do not allow the evil one make you feel that God will not forgive your sins. It is through Jesus' righteousness we are accepted and not through our own. We must repent and find forgiveness.Īs His children, we still can fall, but we must, as many times as needed, go back to the cross. We need a sacrifice and gladly we find God to forgive us all our sins through Jesus' sacrifice for us. There is wonderful healing through the blood of the Lamb. "If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed" (John 8:36). The only real way to find freedom is through Christ Jesus, Indeed they think they have found a way out, but it is only into another pit of deception. These burnt-out Westerners adore and adopt ascetic religions like Buddhism or Hinduism, thinking that true spirituality will be found. Some have fought the fight with hedonism by adopting a contrary and unbiblical notion of spiritualism.

Lusts made up of chains are not evident until seeking release.
