Can You Live In Sin and Still Be Saved?

Do you struggle with a particular Sin? Are you stuck in a sin you just cannot break free from even though you believe that Jesus is the Messiah and gave His life to save us from our sinfulness. Can you be sure you actually have Christ in your life if you are still living in the sin you had repented from? The answer is simple, you cannot live in your sins and be in Christ. Jesus said, “No one can be slave to two masters; for he will either hate the first and love the second, or scorn the second and be loyal to the first. You can’t be a slave to both God and money (Mat. 6:24 CJB)” . You cannot serve God and remain in your sinful life.

For if we deliberately continue to sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but only the terrifying prospect of Judgment, of raging fire that will consume the enemies. Hebrews 10:26-27

Sin is Sin

There are many things that Scripture calls sin. To get this straight, sins are anything that is against God, His Word, and His Laws. There are some that He abhors and one that is unforgivable but sin is sin. Thy all lead to the same result. No matter the sin, the prescription for the cure is the same. Full repentance of all sins and turning to God. Giving up all things that keep you away from God and believing in Jesus. It is only through the sacrifice that God gave us that we are saved.

Nobody is perfect. We all sin. In this day and age the sins of man have fully taken hold of the world to the point that innocence is lost much earlier in life than ever before. People are turning away from the truth of God yet still claim to be Christian.   

I Can Be A Faithful Servant and Ignore God’s Law

The person who believes that statement is fully derailed by the Adversary and will surly die. How can you faithfully serve God while living in sin? You are only fooling yourself. If you live a life that ignores the Ten Commandments and the moral and ethical statutes that are contained in them, then you are not living for God you are living against Him.   

Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:28-29

If you give yourself over to God then you cannot continue in your sins of the flesh. You cannot continue to love the world and try to live for yourself. Even if you do help others, if you still have an ongoing sin in your heart you are fooling yourself. Once you repent of your sin and are baptized you must give up your previous life and live for God.

Jesus told the adulteress, “Go and sin no more”. Did He not do this after He saved her from death and she fell on His feet in full repentance? She gave up her life and followed Jesus from that point never to live that way again. So no, you cannot be a faithful servant and ignore God’s Law.

Jesus Is Holding You, Why Do You Let Go?

God has a plan and it includes you so why are you avoiding Him. We are given life everlasting through His free gift of Grace and Mercy but so many people just do not want to accept it. Too many people want to enjoy their current situation and do not care what happens when their bodies stop living.

The funny thing is that pretty much everybody has heard of God and Jesus and they know that there is a book called the Bible. Some have even used it to fuel their personal ambitions and have tried to ruin Jews and Christian by spitting the Word into their faces while they distort it to fit their selfish ways.

I said this recently but it fits here…The Bible has just about every answer we are looking for because everything in it points us to our creator and teaches us about life. It contains geology, biology, meteorology, astrology, math, history, physics, philosophy, health, sex ed., and more. It gives us a code of morals and ethics that are conducive to a world of peace. It even talks about certain vocations such as farming (both animal and gardens), construction, sailing, fishing, and many other facets making this world a better place to live in.    

If someone knows of God, why does that person not believe it could actually be true? Too often do people want to say that we live here because we do and there is nothing more. They do not see the miracle that is life itself.

With all this knowledge given, we can run the race and come out victorious but only if we are obedient to God’s will and plan. The Adversary will try to trick us every chance he gets but we must remain vigilant in our faith turning completely away from sin and start down the path that leads to the Kingdom. Until the day of Christ’s return there will be sin in the world. Repent and  place your faith in Him who saves us. God is with us Are you with Him?

May God’s Grace and Mercy shine upon you,

Rob, Servant of God
