To Sin or Not To Sin

Day 1- Read 2 Corinthians 5:21 and 1 Peter 2:24

Did Jesus sin? Why did Jesus become sin according to 2 Corinthians 5:21?
Why did Jesus bear our sin according to 1 Peter 2:24?
According to these verses, what does Jesus want for us?
After Jesus did all the work and went through all that pain for you to have righteousness, why do you choose to sin?

Day 2- Read 2 Timothy 2:19 and Psalm 119:9-11

When we commit our life to Jesus, are we supposed to continue being sinful?
What can help you stay pure?

DEFINITION.

Practice: (v) repeated exercise of an activity to master a skill or action.
Read 1 John 3:1-7. Followers of Jesus sin because we are not perfect and we live in a sinful world. This passage is talking about people who practice sin. What is the difference in practicing sin and just “messing up” from time to time? Do you believe that a believer should “practice sin?” What should a believer practice?

Day 3- Read Matthew 5:29-30 and James 1:14-15

Does God ask you to take drastic measures when it comes to dealing with your sin?
Why do you believe God wants you to avoid sin at all costs?

I PROMISE YOU

Matthew 5:3 says “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” When you start dealing with your sin, it can be depressing. God took your sin on the cross. When you feel down for what you have done, remember “feeling down” about your sin is what brings you to need Jesus. Look to Him and get it outta your life.
