If you feel that you are a failure, then I think that you in fact feel bad about it.
Do you believe in Jesus? That he died for you, and that he is your Savior?
Yes, I do. But I feel bad for sinning and not stopping myself . I pray ever time for God to forgive me
1 John 1:9 says it all and please note, cleansing takes time to complete. Therefore, we can fall into sin when we are not taught that for Christians, sin is a choice when before it was not. Often God let's us continue in it till we sicken of it and begin to be scrubbed clean. Soon the desire is gone for that sin and guess what, a new sin needs the cleansing. It gets easier over time.
It is more like saying, " Lord I tried and tried to change and stop this sin but I keep doing it."
And the Lord responds, "How is it working for you?"
And you reply, "" Lord I tried to stop this repeating sin but I keep doing it."
The Lord says, "How is it working for you?"
You say, "Not so good, I feel condemned, lost, alone!"
"How is it working for you?"
After this, you are so tired of it that you tell the Lord, "I can't change - HELP ME DEAR JESUS!"
And the Lord answers, "Okay, now I will..."
You see, the Israelites with Moses complained and had to eat quail till they were sick to learn that they must trust God as he is the one that leads to freedom. We often have to get sick of our efforts and actually trust God. In that is the cleansing mentioned in 1 John 1:9
It often hurts to scrub clean a deep cut on one's arm but it is necessary so all infection is destroyed then healing begins. However, due to the pain of the disinfecting soap, we draw back from the full cleansing and the arm remains infected till we submit to Doctor Jesus's healing soap of the Holy Spirit...
So, how is it working for you?
