Even if we accept Jesus as our savior, we still sin because we are not perfect and we will never become perfect.
Only Jesus is perfect.
So thank God for sending Jesus to die for you at the cross.
Only His bloof and His righteousness can make us holy and perfect in the eyes of God.
Rejoice my friend.
There is no more condemnation in Jesus!
So stop condemning yourself and struggling to be righteous. Jesus is your righteousness and only Him can make you righteous forever.
Jesus is not a savior for nothing.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14
His Grace Will Win You Over
By Joseph Prince
I love the story of the woman caught in adultery for the way our Lord loved her. While others wanted her dead, Jesus didn’t. He defended her and gave her the gift of no condemnation so that she would have the power to “go and sin no more”.
He looked tenderly into her eyes and asked her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more” (John 8:10–11).
You see, the power to stop sin from destroying your life comes from receiving the gift of no condemnation from Jesus. This is the Lord’s grace, my friend. This is His unmerited favor! The legalist will say that God will not condemn you only if you stop sinning. However, Grace says, “I have taken your condemnation on the cross. Now, you can go and sin no more.”
God’s Word says that “sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace [unmerited favor].” So if you are still struggling with sin, it is time to stop depending on your self-efforts. Fall upon Jesus’ unmerited favor like this woman did. When you know that Christ has made you righteous apart from your works, and that He does not condemn you but loves you unconditionally, that will give you the ability to overcome every sinful temptation, habit and addiction in your life!
