So many people believe when you become a Christian that you can continue to live in sin. This is far from the truth. Once a person makes Jesus Lord and Savior we should practice righteousness and not sin. 1 John 2:29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. Romans 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
Sin will always attack us but we must fight it and not allow it to rule in our bodies. Especially while young so bad habits don't take hold and plague your life for years. Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Though sin is pleasurable (Hebrews 11:25), as followers of Christ we must deny our flesh of sinful desires and follow Jesus or the Word. It can be challenging but the Holy Spirit will empower us. Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
