1 John 3:9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.

If God’s life is truly in us, we won’t continue to deliberately practice sin.

Practicing sin means, we know what God’s word says about the behavior, mindset, or action, but we intentionally do it anyway. We would rather satisfy our flesh than please God. Some of us developed a hardened heart in that area. We don’t care what God says about that subject, we want to satisfy our lustful desires. Some of us tried to justify the bible and say, “the bible doesn’t really mean…”.

Don’t make excuses about why you can’t obey God’s word. It may be a struggle at times and the temptation may be great, but make the effort to please God. If you miss the mark, receive God’s grace and forgiveness, but the next time you’re tempted, make the effort to please God.
