What do We have with God a Religion or Relationship?

Micah 6:8 NKJV
[8] He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

John 4:23-24 NKJV
[23] But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. [24] God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

+In a Nutshell…
+Religion is man’s idea of what he wants with God.
+Relationship is God’s idea of what He wants with man.

” As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.  For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;  and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”( Colossians 2: 6-10  NKJV).

Galatians 3:26 KJVS
For you are all the Children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus.
1 John 3:1 KJVS
Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Children of God…

+Thank God our Heavenly Father that we are His Children through Faith in Christ Jesus His Son.

+Let us not be on of these individuals in…
Romans 10:3 that says…
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

+As Dear, Precious and Well Beloved Children of God we do not establish our own righteousness to be children of God. We are children of and the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Amen!

+Continue to live by every Word of God, and let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Do you have a desire in your heart to be used by God  in miracles, signs, wonders, healing and the supernaturals like Jesus did ?

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.  “If you love Me, keep My commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—  the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”( John 14:12-17 NKJV).

” Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:  You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. THERE ARE DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, BUT THE SAME SPIRIT.

  There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.  And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:  for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”(1 Corinthians 12 :1-11 NKJV).

” Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.  And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?  Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?  BUT EARNESTLY DESIRE THE BEST GIFTS. And yet I show you a more excellent way.”(1 Corinthians 12:27-31 NKJV).

” Pursue love, and DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS, but especially that you may prophesy. For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.  But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.”(1 Corinthians 14:1-5 NKJV).

●  Just simply take your desires to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to use you. Wait upon Him to prepare you with spiritual ,wisdom, knowledge, understanding ,and also the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

●  Do not go out on your own, wait  for the lord to send you out. As 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV says: ” Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.  He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”  So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.”( Mark 16:15-20 NKJV).

●  Who is to say the Lord cannot use you?
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

Does giving up helps the situation to get better? No it doesn’t . Because ,Psalms 46:1 NKJV says: “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.”

So if you’re serving God, the question is? Are you serving God to quit on life? When He says in John 10:10-11 NKJV :  ” The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. [11] “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”

The decision you have to make is easy;  you can quit and forfeit  God’s promises of eternal life, or you can stand your ground, and fight . As 1 Timothy 6:12-16 NKJV says:
” Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.  I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,  that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing,  which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.”

Then at the end of your life, you can boldly declare two things: ” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”( 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 NKJV) .

And ,” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. [8] Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”( 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV).

Give Christ all your struggles, challenges, and defeats and accept His Victory for you.

As Philippians 4:6-9 NKJV tells us not to :
” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.  The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

When we focus on FEAR, and negative things it will come upon you, as Job said: ” For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.”( Job 3: 25-26 NKJV).

That’s the reason why we should do as God says : ” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”( Philippians 4: 6-8 NKJV).

LET’S BE  DELIVERED FROM THE SPIRIT OF FEAR THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.

” Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” ( Psalms 23:4 NKJV).

” I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS.” ( Psalms 34:4 NKJV).

 KNOW THAT THE SPIRIT OF FEAR IS NOT FROM GOD NOR OF GOD: ” For God has not given us a spirit of FEAR, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”( 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV).

JESUS SAID: ” Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” ( John 14:27 NKJV).

” There is no FEAR in love; but perfect love casts out FEAR, because FEAR involves torment. But he who FEARS has not been made perfect in love.” ( 1 John 4:18 NKJV).

In Christ Jesus we are completely delivered, and set free from all FEARS.

The Perfect Love which is the Love of God casts out all FEAR.

NOT living in the Love of God makes us vulnerable  to all kinds of FEARS.

FEAR has torment.

FEAR is a demonic spirit under the rule of satan.

When are we completely delivered from fear :
A. We will be Bold and Strong in the Lord.
B. We will freely demonstrate love to others and function in the sound mind of Christ.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

▪︎ Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
• BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

” Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” ( Matthew 12: 34- 37 NKJV).

” Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.  Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” (2 Timothy 2:14-19 NKJV).

” Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” ( Ephesians 4:29-32 NKJV).

” But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.  Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,…”( Colossians 3: 8-10 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

WHEN WE SPEAK GOD’S WORD, IT’S  AS IF THE ORACLE’S OF GOD IS SPEAKING.

” If anyone SPEAKS, let him SPEAK as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”(1 Peter 4:11 NKJV).

” So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55: 11 NKJV).

” For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”( Hebrews 4: 12-13 NKJV).

When we Speak Words of Love and Faith, our Words will be Empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 18:21 NKJV says:
” Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. BUT ONLY SPEAK A WORD, and my servant will be healed.”( Matthew 8:8 NKJV).

Look at what Mark 11:23 says,
For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAYS shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAYS.
+Let us all be mindful of what we speak and how we speak.
+Words have creative power. Let us speak the promises of God in every situation, and not speak bad and negative.

Matthew 13:36-37 says:
” But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned”.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

• Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
• BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Amplify Your FAITH and activate It to the maximum capacity, so that you will never hear :  “Why are you fearful, O you of little FAITH ?” ( Matthew 8:26 NKJV)

” So then FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ” ( Romans 10:17 NKJV).

” Do you have FAITH? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.  But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from FAITH; for whatever is not from FAITH is sin. “( Romans 14 : 22-23 NKJV).

” For we walk by FAITH, not by sight. ” ( 2 Corinthians 5 : 7 NKJV ).

” And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through FAITH and patience inherit the promises.” ( Hebrews 6 : 11-12 NKJV).

” Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
[6] But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” ( Hebrews 11: 1 & 6 NKJV).

” As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,  rooted and built up in Him and established in the FAITH, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.  Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.  For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;  and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” ( Colossians 2: 6-10 NKJV).

” But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit ” ( Jude 1:20 NKJV).

1 Your FAITH is to please God.

2 Your FAITH is for you to receive from God.

• FAITH is for righteous living.

• FAITH says I believed what God said, and I have accepted it that it is so without physical evidence. Therefore ,I trust in God and rely upon God ,and depend upon it come to pass.
• FAITH becomes the things I asked God for until I get them.
• By faith I can say I have the things that I asked God for before I actually receive them because faith call those things that are not as though they were.
• God honors your FAITH in Him.

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [ Ephesians 3: 20-21 NKJV]

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be the glory. Amen!

IF YOU’RE NOT DRAWING, OR GETTING CLOSER TO GOD. THEN YOU’RE DRAWING CLOSER TO ?  THE DEVIL . If you hate God ? Then you love the devil. If you’re not serving God, then you’re serving the devil.

Matthew 6:24 NKJV is clear ,when it says:
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. “( Jeremiah 29 : 11-14 NKJV).

” But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.” (Psalms 73: 28 NKJV).

” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. [8] Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”( James 4: 7-8 NKJV).

” let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22 NKJV).

” And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods;  for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed.

And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.” But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.  If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good.” And the people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the Lord!”  ( Joshua 24: 15-21 NKJV).

WHAT’S YOUR CHOICE ? WILL YOU CHOOSE TO SERVE THE LORD, LIKE THOSE PEOPLE DID .

while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” ( Hebrews 3: 15 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1 : 24-25 NKJV].

If you find yourself doing the same sinful things over,and over again ; then you are no longer a  victim, but a volunteer for the devil’s use.

”  The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.  More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.  Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.  Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”( Psalms 19 :7-14 NKJV).

” And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” ( Matthew 24 : 12-13 NKJV).

” Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5: 8-11 NKJV).

” Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.  But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.  Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.  Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.” (James 1: 12-16 NKJV).

” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” ( James 4:7-8 NKJV).

” Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).”[ Jude 1: 24-25 AMPC].

SIN IS A DETRIMENT TO YOUR LIFE. God will forgive all your sins,except one, and you need to know which one.

” Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” ( Matthew 12 : 31-32 KJV).

A REPROBATE MINDED PERSON, REJECTS GOD AND HIS WORD.

” And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”( Romans 1: 28-32 KJV).

” They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” (Titus 1: 16 KJV).

HOW DO WE CURE THE REPROBATE MIND ? BY DOING WHAT GOD SAYS IN.

” if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV).

” Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.  Do not err, my beloved brethren.”(James 1: 12-16 KJV).

” If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”(1 John 1:8-10 KJV).

Romans 3:23-26 KJV says:
”  for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;  to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

However,  ” For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,..”( Hebrews 10:26 KJV).

” Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17 KJV)

” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”( Romans  12 : 1-2 KJV).

” Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”(Philippians 4:8 KJV).

” Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,  unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” [Ephesians 3: 20-21 KJV].
