A Life That Knows No Sin


          Does it sound impossible to live a life above sin or one that knows no sin? In a world where one has to be 'street wise' and will be confronted with many juicy temptations, can that life possibly exist?

          Even Christians are confronted and yield to sin. As such they keep on asking for forgiveness and repenting all the time. THis actually takes up a lot of useful prayer time.

          The Bible says that "WIth God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26) even a life beyond sin. A clear example is the life of Jesus Christ which knew no sin yet bore all our sins. He is a perfect example and encourages us to be the same. (Matthew 5: 48)

           Therefore, if we truly are to live like Christ, being Christians, then we are to emulate the life He lived which was above sin bearing in mind that we are new creatures in Christ (2Corinthians 5:17). One may ask, how possible is that?

            However, we are to differentiate between mistakes and sins. We're all humans and we all make mistakes but sin is of the world, its an act of disobedience against the instructions of God. It hurts God and only leads to death. Mistakes necessitate correction while sin, repentance.

            A life that knows no sin is one that is hidden in Christ and filled with the Word of God. Sin easily attacks your Spirit when it's without the Word which is our 'spiritual antibodies'.

If Christ lived a life above sin, then He expects us to do even more (John 14:12)

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

Image
“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
