Sinful Nature- Bible Study 📖🙏🏽
Question: why do I know it’s wrong and I still do it?
Why when I believe In God’s words am I still a slave to my sinful nature?
Possible answer: Perhaps you knew of God’s words and commands, but it wasn’t not until recently you’ve decided to abide by God’s rules…. If you had allowed your sinful nature to rule over your life for almost 30 years, what makes you think it would be a walk in the park to get rid of every evil desire within a month.
Jesus Christ died so I can be set free from my sins ; then why am I not free from them?
Possible answer: Jesus had died and risen way before you were born; although you grew up knowing the story, but your fleshed did not willfully died not until when?
What can be done differently?
Focus on your relationship with God, commit to reading his words and filled your surroundings with things that reminds you of his love, let love overcome punishment and our sinful desires. Learn not to take God’s grace and mercies for granted, and use them as a motivation to please him and seek after the things that pertain to his heart.
If you only focus on changing yourself, you will fail time and time again. Some battles are for the Lord alone ,surrender to God and lean not unto your own understanding.
Lord , I pray for whomsoever is reading this post ; Heavenly Father may you reach to your beloved child and make him or her understand that he or she is already chosen, no amount of sins or the enemy schemes can separate them from your love. May your child understands that your “Perfect Son “already died on the cross for our sins . You’re not calling us to perfection, you are calling us to surrender and you will continue your good work within us.
In Jesus Precious name I Pray, Amen.🙏🏽

The concept of sinful nature is central to Christian theology, raising profound questions about human behavior and divine grace. Many believers grapple with the challenge of reconciling their faith with their struggles against sin. Studying passages like 1 Timothy 1:15-17 reveals that recognizing one's flaws is the first step to understanding God's mercy. As stated, 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners', and this profound statement embodies the essence of the Gospel. Understanding that everyone falls short allows believers to relate their own sinful struggles to a broader human experience. Recognizing that transformation is a gradual process encourages individuals to lean on faith, prayer, and community for support. It's also important to create a nurturing environment that promotes spiritual growth. Surrounding oneself with uplifting reminders of God’s love helps reinforce positive changes. Engage in Bible study groups and practices that foster accountability and support among peers, as outlined in #bibleaccountability and #studyingthebible. Moreover, true strength comes from acknowledgment of weakness; hence, prayer must ask for God’s intervention to overcome personal challenges. A relationship with God should emphasize grace over perfection, aiming for continuous improvement rather than unattainable perfection. Through sincere surrender, believers can experience profound life changes, aligning themselves with God's will and finding peace in the process of becoming more Christ-like. In closing, as believers seek to shed their sinful nature, they must remember to embrace God's unwavering love and mercy, cultivating a relationship of trust that empowers them to confront their struggles head-on.
nail my flesh on the cross!
