Sin Cycle
Do you find that we happen to fall for the same type of sin over and over again?
Do you happen to be the person who falls for common sins like impatience, anger, etc...then does something foolish...then asks God for forgiveness...only to repeat the sin again after a period of time?
Well, I'm like that...
As of late, I realise I get angry over simple things. Why do we get angry with people? Mainly because they don't do things the way we want them to do...Basically, it's human nature for us to be in control, and when we aren't in control, we get angry...
Anger is a form of selfishness. You think more of yourself and not others. It's putting yourself central in your life. When you put yourself central in your life, God does not have a place in your life, hence being angry drives God further from your heart.
Each time we get angry with someone, even if they wronged us, we must think back...and realise that we aren't obedient people...we disobey God's commands by sinning, and all this makes God angry, but He still loves us even though He hates the sin committed by us...
So what should we do? Each time we sin, we must immediately say sorry to God and tell Him that you wont repeat the same sin again. Even though humans are rather susceptible to sin, and we will most likely end up sinning again, we must get stronger and closer to God. We must put God central in our lives and grow towards Him.
You may say,"Hey, it's not that simple?"
Well, then we must rememebr to do onto others what you want others to do onto you...and likewise to not do onto others what you dont want others to do onto you...If you dont want others to keep telling you what to do...maybe you should check yourself first and ask if you've been doing the same to others...
And if someone makes us angry, we must tell him nicely and make compromises for everyone to be happy with each other. This is what God does too, each time we sin we make Him angry, but He usually tells us nicely and ... He sent His Son to DIE FOR US! That's the ultimate compromise made from God's part...to ensure that all of us can have eternal happiness with him...
To drive sin out from your life, you must make God central...
