When You Sin

Sin is deadly. Sin opens the door to the devil.

But none of us are immune to falling into sin. What should we
do then?

1 JOHN 1:9 NIV

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

If you sin, immediately confess it to God. Don't make excuses.
You need not beg God to forgive you, because He is a forgiver
and has already paid the price so all sin can be forgiven. You
confess it to get rid of the sin and its effects on you.

1 JOHN 2:1 NIV

1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not
sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the
Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

Jesus is on your side. He died to save (deliver) sinners. Do
not let sin separate you from the Lord and His love. Run to Him
and be cleansed. Stay close to Him and receive His help to
enable you to not sin.

Every step taken out of love gives an opportunity for the devil
in your life. But God does not turn against you. He died for
sinners. He purposely made provision so you can be cleansed
from sin. 1 John 1:9 was written to Christians: so when you do
miss it, confess it -- and by faith -- immediately receive your
cleansing and freedom from all un-righteousness. That shuts the
door on the devil.

SAY THIS: God has made provision for me to be cleansed from
sin.
