Caught in Sin?

Are you a "Christian" caught in some kind of sin? When I mean caught, I mean trapped in it to the extent that it seems to you that there is no way out. If you are, I want to let you know that there is hope for you. Do not be in despair,  for there is a God that saves. The fact that you are despaired itself is the greatest sign that in the end you will have victory.

Many so called Christians live in sin without having the slightest sorrow. But if you have a sorrow and dissatisfaction about your sinful life, that proves that you are a candidate for salvation. I want to share something that God has taught me clearly in the past few months. First, let me tell you the reason why you are caught in sin. It is simply because you are yet to be born again. A person who is born again will not and cannot live in habitual sin anymore. I am not saying that born again sinners don't sin, I am saying that they will not live continuously and in slavery to any sinful lifestyle. So, the key is to be reborn. How then can one be reborn. Well, what role did you play in your physical birth. Absolutely nothing. In the same way, being born again or born from above has nothing to do with your acts. God saves those whom he wills and if you cry out to Him he will save and transform you. That is your only hope.

There are a few things you need to know and do urgently:

1.  Don't compromise: Never ever compromise because everyone seems to be doing it or because you haven't felt the consequences of your actions yet. If the Bible says something is wrong and is abhorred by God then that is the final word. 
2. You are helpless on your own: This might seem odd to you, but truly you are helpless. You cannot change your addiction on your own. No amount of trying is going to give you a permanent solution to your problem. You might be wondering how this agrees with point #1. I will explain. When you fall into sin, understand that you have sinned, then get up and ask for forgiveness and carry on.
3. Cry out to God: After you have sinned, besides asking for forgiveness, cry out to God asking him to deliver you. Tell him that you want out, but you can't. Tell him that you tried and tried and that you are now sure that only God can help. You will feel Godly sorrow when you cry out, then you will truly repent of your sin. Repentance leads to new birth.
4. Being Born again: In God's time, you will be born again. Not by anything you do, but because God worked in your life. You will no longer feel the old urge to sin again. You will be made a new creation. But the most important point is that you come to the end of yourself and admit that you need some divine intervention.

I hope this helps.
