Apr 10, 2011 · Romans 6:12 tells us: “Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.” “Let” implies choice. We have free will, and therefore we have a choice to choose God or to choose sin. So if we have a choice, then how do we sin without knowing?

Let me start with a clarification of how to even pose the question in language that I think is perhaps more consistent with the way the New Testament speaks than the way Doug set it up. Doug uses the word repent to pose the question that he has. He says, “Does true repentance mean that we never ask God’s forgiveness for the same sin twice? How can ...
What about sins, then, that we commit more than once — indeed, so often that they are threatening to destroy our assurance of being a Christian? Here’s the way I would put it: there are two kinds of confession, and there are two kinds of sin, so test yourself now as to which you are doing. First, there is confession that, at one level, is expressin...
The two kinds of sin that I’m referring to are, first, the kind of sin that blindsides you. It’s not premeditated or planned, and there is scarcely any battle in the moment when it happens. Before you realize what you’re doing, it’s done. In my own experience, I would illustrate with certain kinds of sinful anger that come over me, and almost insta...
Now, I think it’s possible for a Christian to commit both kinds of sins and get into patterns of both kinds of confession for a season. But I would say that the confession that cloaks fatalism, hopelessness, peace with sin, and the sin that is premeditated are more dangerous to our souls. Both are dangerous. Don’t get me wrong; both are dangerous. ...
The book in the New Testament — interestingly enough, paradoxically enough — that is perhaps the hardest on Christians sinning is the same book that warns most explicitly about the dangers of perfectionism. Let me close by reading that paradoxical section from 1 John 1:8–10. This is the way the Bible chooses to talk about this paradox. That’s the w...
Oct 1, 2022 · To repent is to turn away from sin with disgust, sorrow, and a resolve not to repeat the offense. In this definition, we begin to see why repentance is necessary: we must repent because of our sin. The Bible says “sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4).
Dec 21, 2022 · The Scriptures teach us that sin is displeasing to God, and that it merits spiritual death and an eternal judgment (Rom. 6:23; John 8:24). So, it is essential to know what sin is so that we can find a remedy for it in Christ and seek to avoid sin, that we might live a life that is pleasing to God.
May 2, 2021 · Yes. In Romans 14, Paul discusses sins that occur due to an individual’s scruples. These are personal convictions that are not on the level of doctrinal mandates. The examples that Paul uses in this chapter center around the Jewish diet. “One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church.

Mar 24, 2020 · The Catholic Church teaches that every sin produces two effects in our souls. First, we incur the guilt of sin, which in the case of grave or mortal sin destroys supernatural charity within us and deprives us of communion with God, or eternal life with him.
