1 SINLESS From Temptation to Sin: James 1:14-15, But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires. Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death. Sinless? Is it possible? The CHOICE a relationship with Christ 1Peter 2:24, He personally carried away our sins in His own body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. You have been healed by his wounds! Ezekiel 36:26, And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart. The POWER - the Holy Spirit gives us the power Romans 8:2, For the power of the life giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death. 1 Corinthians 10:13 But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can t stand up against it. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it. A New REALITY we don t have to sin Romans 6:6, Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. The SPIRITUAL BATTLE the war inside of us Ephesians 6:12, For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. VOICES whose are we listening to? Satan I can t, It s too hard, Nothing works, I m only human, it s not possible. John 8:44 For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. God s Voice You can do this, you are My child! 1 John 5:4, For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. 1 John 5:18, We know that those who have become part of God s family do not make a practice of sinning, for God s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot get his hands on them. James 4:7, So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. If we still fall into temptation ask ourselves Where is my heart? Have I given God control? Have I given Him my temptations? Am I listening for His voice? 1 John 2:4, If someone says, "I belong to God," but doesn t obey God s commandments, that person is a liar and does not live in the truth. WHO is doing the changing? US or GOD? God s Chisel HEALED! From the disease of sin John 5:5-9, Now a man was there who had been disabled for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and when he realized that the man had been disabled a long time already, he said to him, Do you want to become well? The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me. Jesus said to him, Stand up! Pick up your mat and walk. Immediately the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and started walking. Stop Sinning John 5:14, But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you." Application: From Temptation to Holiness: Make today the day to give it all to God and become a part of His family Practice, Practice, Practice Ephesians 4: 22-24, throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God s likeness righteous, holy, and true. Learn how to listen to the right voice Memorize the verses: 1 John 5:4, For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. 1 John 5:18, We know that those who have become part of God s family do not make a practice of sinning, for God s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot get his hands on them. James 4:7, So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. Get Crazy Love join a life group, read the book and devotional guide
