S2 E4 - Sin in the Christian Life

Carrying on our conversation from last time about sin, we wanted to take it a step further. It is easy to say what sin is, but "What's next?" or "What about me, who continues to still be in sin?"

We all wonder about the hope that is come through Jesus and His plan for us and our lives. Many trust God, but either get caught up in today's futures of being okay with certain sins or mess up and we lose trust that God is who He promises He is... Our Father. We may compare Him to an earthly father who wasn't as forgiving as our Heavenly Father, which is not a good picture for us to compare to and trust.

In today's episode, we ask some tight questions and give some beliefs that hopefully will begin to allow you to create discussions with others around you. Whether you are mentoring guys younger than you or you have a group of guys you are in contact with - bring up the topic and see what you come up with after discussing. A provoking question from this title was: IF SOMEONE CAME UP TO YOU AND YOU COULD ONLY GIVE THEM THREE THINGS OF ADVICE ON HOW LEAVE SIN BEHIND... WHAT DO YOU SAY? WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE?

Here are some questions to think on yourself. Meditate or think about them, discuss with those around you, figure out answers for you do not know the day that someone will ask you and when you have examined your own beliefs and stances, it makes it a lot easier to share Biblically - rather than how you feel.

The questions are as follows:
What does sin in the Christian life look like?
Temptation - Is being tempted a sin?
Where is the process of temptation carried out (origination)?
How do we seek to leave Sin behind or how do we turn from our sinful nature?
Not sinning anymore?
Even after salvation, do people become complacent?

Take away: Amazing concept of grace - we cannot earn our own salvation.
