HOW MUCH EFFORT HAVE WE PUT IN TO STAY AWAY FROM SIN?

GREAT AMBASSADORS IN CHRIST:
OUR GOD HATH WASHED US THOROUGHLY CLEAN FROM OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. (PSALM 51:- 2-3)
THE QUESTION IS, HAVE WE STAYED OURSELVES AWAY FROM THOSE SINS? OR DO WE KEEP GOING BACK TO OUR VOMITS.
GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED. WE HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES.
HOW MUCH EFFORT HAVE WE PUT IN, TO STAY AWAY FROM SIN?
TO BE IN CAPTIVITY IS TO BE FORCIBLY CONFINED BY FORCES BEYOND CONTROL.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE IN SELF CAPTIVITY BY REASON OF SELF ADAPTATION TO A PARTICULAR SINFUL WAY OF LIFE THAT IS CONTRARY TO THE WILL OF GOD: AND IGNORED THE CALL TO REPENTANCE.
GIVEN UP REPENTANCE, AND ALLOWING THE WILL OF THE FLESH TO GOVERN THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN US, IS SPIRITUALLY CONSIDERED SELF IMPRISONMENT UNDER SATAN’ AUTHORITY. THERE IS NO CURE FOR THAT.
REVELATION 3:- 20-21 “BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK; IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE, AND OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME.”
ANY ONE THAT REFUSED TO ALLOW THE WILL OF GOD IN HIS LIFE, IS YET TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR CHRIST TO COME IN.
WE MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUBBISH THE GRACE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD GIVEN UNTO US THROUGH CHRIST JESUS: BY NOT GOING BACK AND FORT TO THE SIN(S) THAT HATH BEEN CONFESSED AND FORGIVEN.
NOW: TO HIM WHO LOVES US AND HAS FREED US FROM THE BONDAGE OF OUR SINS BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD AND MADE US A KINGDOM, PRIEST TO HIS GOD AND FATHER, TO HIM BE GLORY AND DOMINION FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
