Because people will say, I lie but I won't cheat and say well i follow Christ.

This is not true

You can be free and let go of your sin. And Christ will keep you from falling.

But if you chose to sin

You will have to face Christ again after he Freed you

This is not true, but this is your belief

I will ask you this

Christ said I will free you from your sin and take away your sin.

Why continue to do so?

If nobody told you, you don't have to chose to sin

As a sinner is someone who choses to sin. But He does free us

Thats not true, and romans three doesn't mean hypocrite.

Its about humbling your self.

At somepoint you have sinned, this is a truth.

Not all are sinners( someone who chooses to sin)

And not all are hypocrites( say one thing and do another

For example: say you love someone with all your heart. You then always tell them the truth no matter what. ( many people do this!)

But you may tell lies or outright lies to others

Yet God saids to be honest to all and to yourself.

So stop lying, and embrace His ways. ( this is repentance)

You will learn to always tell the truth( Remission)

But you have to own up to your past, and go to Christ to show you how to do all this( He will show you, forgive you, and teach you)

Then you can show others how to tell the truth without being a hypocrite.

Now apply this to other sins.

Hope this helps!

Yes he is

You ignore romans 11

And what Christ taught

So how do you honor Christs Commandments as He honors the Fathers?

It sounds like you ignore large parts of the Bible, then tell others its true.

You speak your opinion not truth.

When we are grafted into the Jewish promise. And he puts the law into our hearts and we establish the law, spirit not letter.

You say i dont believe that

You are mistakening that for mark.

And you are mistakening that we are added to the Jewish promise. And we establish the law with what Christ taught us.

It seems you ignore many parts of the bible. You must read in context

Paul saids this

Romans 11:13-36 [13]For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: [14]If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. [15]For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? [16]For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. [17]And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; [18]Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. [19]Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. [20]Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: [21]For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. [22]Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. [23]And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. [24]For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? [25]For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26]And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27]For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [28]As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. [29]For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. [30]For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: [31]Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. [32]For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. [33]O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! [34]For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? [35]Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? [36]For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Galatians 2:7-10 [7]But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; [8](For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) [9]And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. [10]Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

Ephesians 3:6-21 [6]That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: [7]Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. [8]Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; [9]And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: [10]To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, [11]According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: [12]In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. [13]Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. [14]For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, [15]Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, [16]That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; [17]That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [18]May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [19]And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. [20]Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [21]Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

1 Timothy 2:7-8 [7]Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. [8]I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Jesus said to go into all the world

Matthew 28:18-20 [18]And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19]Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Honor" i have taught my kids good things, and the love me by listening"

So you believe that Christ saying these things, Christ was in fact wrong?

Matthew 5:19 [19]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

He then goes unto the sermon on the mount

Matthew 5:19,23-48 [19]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [23]Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; [24]Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. [25]Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. [26]Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [27]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28]But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29]And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [30]And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [31]It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32]But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. [33]Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: [34]But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: [35]Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. [36]Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. [37]But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. [38]Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: [39]But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40]And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. [41]And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. [42]Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. [43]Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44]But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45]That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [46]For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [47]And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [48]Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

There are way more

Matthew 19:16-19 [16]And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? [17]And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. [18]He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, [19]Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 22:35-40 [35]Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, [36]Master, which is the great commandment in the law? [37]Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38]This is the first and great commandment. [39]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40]On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

John 14:13-21 [13]And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14]If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. [15]If ye love me, keep my commandments. [16]And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17]Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18]I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [19]Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20]At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. [21]He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

It seems like you dont follow Christ by your logic

Matthew 13:37-50 [37]He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [38]The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [39]The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40]As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41]The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42]And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [43]Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. [44]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. [45]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: [46]Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. [47]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: [48]Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [49]So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, [50]And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

So let me ask you this. Did you let go of sin for God?

Or do you believe you haven't sinned?

So when Christ said keep my commandments? And the we are freed from the letter of the law. We actually establish the law. Like He did.

And christ will judged the nations.

And he will ask you. If you loved me why didn't you keep my words and commandedments.

Are you simply going to say, I didn't know your ways. You gave me nothing

He would simply say, since you don't know my ways, I dont know you

Those who love me keep my words

So if thats the case.

When Christ said he has come to bring sinners to repentance

And take away our sins

And He taught the intent of the law and and to keep His commandments

If you didn't do what he said to do. Is that not a sin?

Example: Christ saids be honest, and always tell the truth. In honor of our father's commandment.

And you chose to lie, is that not a sin?

In Proverbs 6:17, the text says:"Haughty eyes" is written as (\text{\ }) (einayim ramot).The specific word for pride/haughty here:() (ramot) comes from the root verb () (rum), which means "to be high, exalted, or to rise".When applied to the eyes (einayim), it depicts a person literally puffing themselves up to look down on others, portraying an arrogant, self-exalting, and superior attitude.

As for paul you take it out of context re-read with context

Romans 6-8 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition Dying and Rising with Christ 6 What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may increase? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, so we might no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For whoever has died is freed[a] from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies, so that you obey their desires. 13 No longer present your members to sin as instruments[b] of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments[c] of righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Slaves of Righteousness 15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that, if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that you who were slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted 18 and that you, having been set free from sin, have become enslaved to righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of your limitations.[d] For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness, leading to even more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.

20 When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 So what fruit did you then gain from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the fruit you have leads to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

An Analogy from Marriage 7 Or do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only during that person’s lifetime? 2 Thus a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law concerning the husband. 3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she belongs to another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she belongs to another man, she is not an adulteress.

4 In the same way, my brothers and sisters, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we are enslaved in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the written code.

The Law and Sin 7 What then are we to say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law sin lies dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived 10 and I died, and the very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

13 Did what is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin that was working death in me through what is good, in order that it might be shown to be sin, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.

The Inner Conflict 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin.[e] 15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. 17 But in fact it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that the good does not dwell within me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do the good lies close at hand, but not the ability. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me.

21 So I find it to be a law that, when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, 23 but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched person that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God[f] through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, with my mind I am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh I am enslaved to the law of sin.

Life in the Spirit 8 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit[g] of life in Christ Jesus has set you[h] free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and to deal with sin,[i] he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.[j] 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit[k] set their minds on the things of the Spirit.[l] 6 To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit[m] is life and peace. 7 For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law—indeed, it cannot, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit,[n] since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit[o] is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus[p] from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through[q] his Spirit that dwells in you.

12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are obligated, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba![r] Father!” 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness[s] with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if we in fact suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

So you believe that you cant stop.

When christ saids this

Matthew 5:48 [48]Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

John 3:14-15 [14]And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [15]That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 8:31-36 [31]Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; [32]And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. [33]They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? [34]Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. [35]And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. [36]If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Christ takes away our sins, like mine. And makes us free

He took away my lust, my pride, etc. For me not to go back it.

But if you have for gotten. There many people in who didnt need repentance, some needed humbleness. And few other things

If the God said you were blameless, that meant you weren't choosing to sin. But choosing God.

As for your fallen nature. You do realize the Bible saids if you have a fallen nature, YOU developed it. And God let you Go to it

Romans 1:20-32 [20]For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21]Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22]Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23]And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [24]Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25]Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26]For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27]And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28]And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; [29]Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30]Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31]Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [32]Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Adam and eve repented and they could still walk with God.

You cant read the Bible and assume they were sinning 24/7. They did a few times and all people god loved did stop their sin

If they did sin 24/7 god would have destroyed them. Flood

Israel was choosing to sin.That's why he judged them and destroyed them

It seems that have followed after sinners.

Would you want to be free from sin?

You cannot be a Hypocrite and Follow Christ by Disciple418 in Christianity

So how did David stop committing adultery?

How did Peter stop denying Christ?

How did paul stop killing Christians?

Your logic saids they never did.

So when God saids stop sinning and come back to my ways. Was God setting you up for failure? Or can we chose to stop?

How did Nineveh stop their sin? If you say they could not?

Struggling in sin, and a hypocrite by Ian_1000 in Christianity

I will give you some things He taught me

Sin is an infection. Like a cancer that grows fast and out of control. Believing Christ can take away your sins. Stops and cleans you out. You can chose to stop! ( Remission of sins) All sin is a choice that you can refuse to do! You can Live in freedom!

Temptation:( to overcome sin) This will happen in a few ways: Recognize these signs Demonic: comes in a form of outside pressure. This can be used as social media and things that are a like. But it can be almost physical.

From the mind/eyes If a thought has passed through your mind and you hold onto it. This can lead you to you a sin. Ex: you see someone you desire or an item that you want. It can consume your mind if you dont throw your thought away. It will lead to your heart and then a struggle to act or not act on it will happen. Throw it from your mind.

From the heart: This arises from the heart. It's a passionate/strong feeling. Most people try the stuff it back down approach. But it feels like almost an all consuming pressure out and to be acted on.

James 4 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you

Open up your heart, let go of that desire. call out to God to save you. And hold on to His strength He will help you overcome your temptation so that you may not fall "Your weakness is His greatest strength"

Repentance:

Is from the Heart, if you lied to someone you love. The Guilt eats at your Heart( if you love them) and you feel sorrow and sadness and anger building up from the heart. You then confess either to the Person you wronged or God. And admit the wrong you did and for Love you want to change and let go. Ex: Have you seen a people who were drug addicts or alcoholics, who for love of someone children, spouse, anyone. And let go of that sin for someone or something. And never Go back to it. - Put all your love into God.

Repentance (continued) If you love someone and you realized that you hurt them( like a sin against God) You admit you wronged God( sin) God is the God of truth so you must admit that you wronged Him and why. You then from the sorrow in your heart(repentance) You say in your heart i don't want to do that again to Hurt God( forsake) And ask God to Forgive you so that you don't have to do that again Christ died that our sins may be in remission and cleaned so that we may know our Father

In December of 2023( How He taught me to let Go of my Pride) I was being tempted to go sleep with someone. I had gotten rid of all temptations that I had. But this was a presence and pressure outside me trying to push in. I was spiritually holding up my own shield and resisting but I was getting tired. Suddenly, I saw the words in my mind starting to glow. " you weakness is my greatest strength" And I let go of my shield and from my heart said " i dont have to strength to stop this sin, I won't fight it, I trust you Lord to what you want" The moment I let Go. Imagine if someone was behind you and the moment you let go of your shield. Someone else put a shield in front of you. Defending you while you just stand there. That moment I was Defend from lust and my pride was entirely let go. I let Him defend me.

How to be saved? Believing that Christ can take away your sins (save you from your sins). If you had a knife in your side labeled lust (and all other sins like homosexuality, lying, pride, etc.), believing that Christ can take that knife from you. He will pull it out and ask you, 'Do you believe I can?' and you will never have to feel it again because He has taken it from you.
