How does a Christian deal with ongoing sin?

Well, first of all, we need to understand that if a person is a Christian, their heart has been regenerated,

they've been made alive, they've been given a new heart and also the Holy Spirit dwells within them.

So a Christian is going to experience changes, transformations.

They are going to grow in conformity to Christ.

Yet at the same time, we will never be free from sin on this side of heaven.

I want us to look at 1 John 1.

John says, verse 8, If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

One of the things that is so evident about someone who is a Christian, it's not that they're sinless,

but that they recognize sin in their life.

And when they see that sin, they confess it.

A lot of times we don't see how extraordinary that actually is.

We live in a world that is sinning constantly against God.

And yet, so few people recognize their sin, take responsibility for their sin, confess their sin, mourn over their sin.

So when you see a person who has professed faith in Christ doing these types of things,

it is evident that they truly have come to know him.

You see, a Christian will sin less, but they will not be without sin.

But when they do sin, it will cause sorrow in their heart.

It will lead them to repentance and the confession of that sin.

He says, if we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

There are so many times when I will preach in a church and this very same thing will happen every time.

Maybe I'll preach in a church about sin or about the necessity of being holy.

And sometimes the Spirit of God will be working and many people will be broken over their sin.

And what seems to be so unusual is this.

The people who are usually the most godly, sincere, and devoted in the church are the ones most broken over their sin,

while those who show little signs

or evidences of having been born again sit there as though they had no sin at all.

And what we're seeing is the working of the Spirit of God in God's people

and the lack of that working in people who profess faith in Christ but really do not know Him.

Now, he says this in verse 9, If we confess our sins,

he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When the believer sins, the believer should confess that sin,

turn away from it and ask for forgiveness.

Now, what is confession?

Confession literally in the Greek is a word homologo.

And literally it means to speak the same thing.

So if I am a Christian and I study the word of God and reading the Bible one day, the Lord convicts me of sin.

Or let's say that a brother in Christ who dearly loves me sees

that I'm not walking as I ought to be and he speaks to me about my sin.

And I know it's from God.

He's using the scripture.

It really is true.

I have sinned.

When God tells me through the word of God or through the instruction of another believer or some other way,

when God tells me that I have sinned, when he speaks to me, you have sinned, Paul.

You were impatient.

Confession is not just to say, I'm sorry.

Confession is to speak the same thing.

When God says, Paul, you've been impatient.

Confession is when I say, Lord, I agree with you with regard to my sin.

You say I've been impatient.

You are right.

I have been impatient.

That's confession.

And then asking for forgiveness.

Forgive me for my impatience.

Now, so we see here that even though a believer is going to be transformed and continue transforming,

even a believer will experience change and conformity to Christ, we will still have to deal with sin in our lives.

Hopefully it'll be a lot less as we grow, but it will be there and we have to deal with it.

And we deal with it through brokenness and confession, recognizing that what God says about us is true and confessing it.

Now, let me take you to another text that is very, very important, very important.

In Psalms 119 11, David says, Your word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against you.

How can we grow in conformity to Christ?

How can we sin less?

One of the essential, essential things we need is here in verse 11, the word of God.

Look what he says.

Your word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against you.

Now, if you're listening to this, let me ask you a question.

How much time do you spend in the word of God?

How much time do you spend reading the word of God, studying the word of God, memorizing the word of God,

meditating on the word of God?

Most people, when they hear this question, they kind of bow their head and acknowledge not enough.

Some even almost not at all.

This is one of the reasons why that we have

so little power over sin is because we spend so little time in the word of God.

You know, you can't miss breakfast without starting to get hungry.

You miss lunch, you're starting to feel weak.

You miss lunch and supper and breakfast, you miss meals all day.

And by the next day, you're probably even going to feel sick.

Well, that is a physical illustration of a spiritual reality.

You need the word of God.

Sometimes people come to me and they act like, you know, growing is this great mystery that no one can solve.

How can we grow?

And then I ask them this question.

Well, how much time do you spend in the word of God?

And their answer is usually it can't be that simple.

Show me some trick or some key to spiritual growth.

And I said, I'm trying to.

You need to spend time in the word of God.

Now, look what he says again.

Your word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against you.

Now, let's change it a little.

Your word I have not treasured in my heart so that I might sin against you.

Do you see?

It works both ways.

If you're going to neglect your study of Scripture, the memorization and meditation of Scripture,

then you're opening your life to less and less conformity and to more and more sin.

Now, when I talk about the Bible and studying the Bible, how should you do it?

Well, I don't have the only way to do it, but let me tell you something that's very important.

100

Most people jump back and forth.

101

They read one portion in one book and then maybe another chapter in another book, and they go from here to there,

102

and they never really understand the counsel of God.

103

They never really see the big picture.

104

I would recommend that if you've never read the New Testament, start in the book of Matthew

105

and read all the way through to the book of Revelation

106

and do that several times and then go to the Old Testament,

107

start in Genesis and read all the way through to Revelation and spend the rest of your life in that life discipline,

108

whether it's three, four, five or 15 chapters a day.

109

The important thing is that you're reading through the Bible systematically and you're beginning to see how all the pieces fit together.

110

You're beginning to see the big picture of God.

111

and the big picture with regard to God's salvation and God's will.

112

Very, very important.

113

Now, I want us to go to the book of James for a moment.

114

And I want to show you something that is often overlooked, but it's been very helpful for me in my life.

115

In chapter one, you know, James is talking about trials.

116

And then after he's talking about trials, James comes down and he says this.

117

Verse 13, let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God, for God cannot be tempted by evil.

118

And he himself does not tempt anyone.

119

When I'm being tempted to do something, I need to realize, first of all, this is not from God.

120

And this is not according to God's will.

121

And this is not conformed to God's character.

122

I need to see sin for what it really is something

123

that stands in opposition to everything that God is and everything that he desires.

124

This is not just some little mistake.

125

This is hostility.

126

It's enmity.

127

It's fighting against God and God's purposes in my life.

128

And so I need to recognize sin for what it is.

129

It's not coming from God.

130

And when I'm living in this world

131

and maybe a person asked me to do something or there's a possibility to do something over here.

132

And I consider it in the light of scripture and I realize it's not something God would want me to do.

133

I need to recognize this is not from God.

134

I am a child of God and I should have nothing to do with it.

135

There is nothing.

136

We have no fellowship, no truce, no unity with darkness.

137

with sin, with the devil.

138

And so recognize when temptation comes, it's not from God and it needs to be rejected.

139

Now, verse 14, it says, but each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

140

Now, when a temptation comes and it enters into your mind, do this or look here.

141

That's not sin.

142

That's a temptation.

143

That's not sin.

144

It becomes sin when you give into it.

145

When you give yourself over to it, when you devote yourself to it, when you deliver yourself to do that very thing,

146

that's when it becomes sin.

147

But when it first enters into your mind, look at that.

148

No, that's not temptation.

149

But here's what you need to understand.

150

You can't play around with temptation.

151

You can't play around with sin.

152

It will grab you and it will grab you quickly.

153

If you're out working in the fields in India or Pakistan

154

and there is a big cobra and you've got a machete in your hand

155

and all of a sudden that cobra rises up, you don't have you can't sit there and talk to it.

156

You can't reason with it.

157

It's going to strike in a matter of a second or two.

158

You've got to take off its head or you've got to flee.

159

You've got to get out of there.

160

You can't play around with it.

161

How many children do we know, at least in around that have been around me in my lifetime,

162

that have sat there and played around with poisonous snakes having a good time.

163

And then all of a sudden they get too close, they get too careless.

164

And what happens?

165

The snake strikes.

166

When you see the temptation, when it appears, don't play with it.

167

Don't meditate on it.

168

Don't think about it kill it, get away from it, flee from it.

169

We're told to flee from certain sins.

170

You see, do you remember when when Cain was angry?

171

He was very, very angry.

172

And God said to him, sin is waiting at the door and its desire is to have you.

173

You need to realize something.

174

Sin is like a wild animal.

175

And when it approaches, it wants you.

176

It wants to devour you.

177

It wants to destroy you.

178

The Bible says the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

179

So don't play with this.

180

Cut it off immediately.

181

And here's another thing that's very important about sin.

182

Don't go to places where sin is easy.

183

You know, sometimes I've had to deal with men who have been converted out of alcoholism.

184

And they say, what are some of the things I should do?

185

I said, don't go back to the places where you used to frequent.

186

Don't run with the same guys and don't go near those taverns and places where you used to drink.

187

Physically stay away from them.

188

This is very important on the internet and other things.

189

Never put yourself in a position where you can be alone with temptation.

190

Build guards around you to protect yourself.

191

You've got to realize how weak you are

192

and how strong the devil is and how strong sin and its lust can be.

193

Now, it says in verse 15, then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin.

194

And when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

195

Another thing that you need to realize about sin, it's deadly.

196

You say, well, I'm a Christian.

197

OK, you're a Christian.

198

It's still deadly.

199

How many Christian homes have I seen destroyed by sin?

200

How many Christian ministries are no more because of sin?

201

How many men who have been used mightily of God to do great things

202

and then they fall into sin and it undoes everything that was good before?

203

Sin is deadly, it's monstrous.

204

You need to fear it, you need to run from it.

205

Now, verse 16, this is the important part in dealing with temptation.

206

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

207

Every good thing given, every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

208

Now, what else should you recognize?

209

When temptation comes, do not be deceived about the goodness of God.

210

You see, in the garden, that's one of the first things that the devil did.

211

When the devil was tempting

212

Eve, he tried to make her believe that God wasn't good.

213

That God had prohibited her from eating from all the trees of the garden.

214

That wasn't true.

215

And so the devil will basically always get you to think, well, God's not going to help you here.

216

God's not going to meet this need.

217

And so you need to succumb to this temptation.

218

I'm offering you something because God won't offer you anything.

219

And you need to realize when temptation comes, I'm not going to grab a hold of it.

220

Why?

221

Because God is good and he's got something better for me.

222

Especially I tell this to young men who are who are not married.

223

I say, you know, you have these temptations and these opportunities to commit immoralities and fornications and other things.

224

And they're very, very strong to look at things on the Internet.

225

Very, very strong and very, very evil and very, very damaging to the soul.

226

But when those temptations appear, what should you do?

227

recognize that God is good, that he has a plan.

228

He has a plan even to fulfill those physical desires you have.

229

He has a righteous plan and the devil is offering you a counterfeit plan.

230

And when you see that counterfeit plan, you need to reject it because it is not the best thing for your life.

231

It is not a good thing for your life.

232

You need to wait because God has promised to give you good.

233

That's where I find some of my greatest strength against sin is recognizing the goodness and the kindness of God,

234

that whatever temptation comes, it is a counterfeit of the goodness of God.

235

It's like a beautiful apple, maybe on the outside, but it's full of poison on the inside.

236

But everything God gives is good on the outside and the inside.

237

It is good through and through.

238

So those are some of the ways in which we deal with temptation.

239

But come on now, use some wisdom here.

240

If you're awake 16 hours a day, you're in this world behind enemy lines 16 hours a day.

241

Do you see that?

242

You're hearing the world.

243

You're being influenced by the world.

244

If you do not spend time in the word of God, copious amounts of time, if you do not spend time in prayer,

245

if you do not spend time in the good fellowship of a sound church with other believers, you're not going to be able to overcome.

246

And don't go out there looking for some TV evangelist to touch your life and give you power.

247

Don't look for some silly gimmick that's not going to help you with sin.

248

What do you need?

249

You need to study the word of God.

250

You need to pray for strength.

251

You need to be in the fellowship of a very strong local church under elders

252

that care about your soul and under elders that are preaching the exposition of God's word.

253

That's what you need.

254

All right.

255

Well, God bless you.
