Last Monday night we heard a sermon from Loulie Giglio, the founder of the Passion Movement about defeating sexual sin, and the three lies that we as believers tend to believe:
1. You can do it - meaning that you are able to in your own strength keep yourself from sinning.
THE TRUTH: Is that it is impossible for us to live the Christian life, which is why we need Christ IN us, and living THROUGH us to live the life God is calling us to live.
2. You can't stop sinning/ you're just a sinner saved by grace
THE TRUTH: Through Jesus you have been transformed and are now a saint, and holy one of God.
3. You have to carry your past/ shame with you the rest of your life
THE TRUTH: Your past with all it's sins are nailed to cross, never to be remembered anymore. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ (Romans 8)
Any thoughts?
