How do you respond when confronted with your sin?

Question

We have all done wrong in our lives, whoever we are!
What is your response to your conscience or when you are being convicted in your spirit?
God wants all men everywhere to repent. This is the response He wants each one of us to have to Him, because it is only then that we can know forgiveness of our wrong doing, and put the past behind us. Jesus has already paid the price for our sin and took the punishment for us, which we deserved.
It is our response to this tho, that matters!

What is your response today?

Answer 1

I confess and ask God for forgiveness.

Answer 2

Even Christians suffer for their sins. Otherwise they wouldn't be suffering. Jesus lived for us. To teach us to "Go and sin no more" and to have mercy upon all beings. But the problem is hardly a soul knows what Jesus actually said in full, because of King Constantine and his click of scribes who omitted added and misconstrued so many things in the Bible. If one wants the original teachings they should read Gospel of The Nazirenes. This book was hidden in a Buddhist temple by the original followers of Jeuse (the Essenes) they had to go into hiding because true followers of Christ where being killed by the government and they hid their book as well. If you are a sincere Christian then google gospelofthenazirenes.com Following the original truth and teachings of Jesus will set you free. Other wise what is the difference of a Christian who follows completely and one who does all sins yet believes. They don't get the same result. Nor do they burn in hell. They take birth again says Jesus. One must understand Jesuses original teachings of Karma, Reincarnation, vegetarianism and no one goes to hell eternally, to understand the unlimited mercy and love of God. I beg for fogivness and I don't do it again.

Answer 3

I 'got the log out' some time ago, but I examine myself daily. If someone were to confront me with a sin, I would not only repent, but I would seek the answer as to WHY I sinned. The kings of the earth seek the TRUTH to a matter, and one has to start with the TRUTH of oneself.
But, once you come to the KNOWLEDGE of that truth, there is no longer atonement for sin. (Heb. 10:26-27). That is what the church hides from you....TRUTH. And so many crucify Messiah again and again....

Answer 4

I have no peace when I have said, thought of or did something that wasn't pleasing to God. I have to humble myself before the Lord, confess it as sin and ask for forgiveness.

These verses came to mind.

Psalm 51:17
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart--
These, O God, You will not despise.

Micah 6:8
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?

Answer 5

God Bless you for sharing the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ on here- you continue to do so! There is no one greater than He. I am a sinner, and I needed His forgiveness- I had no freedom with Christ- I was bound for hell, bound for a life separated from Him eternally....I was bound to die in my sins- But Jesus Christ opened my eyes and lifted the veil to His wonderful gospel. He paid the price for my sins, so I could walk free....and now I am saved through Him- By His grace! Because I believe with my whole heart He is Lord- and I repent from my sins wanting Him to be Lord of my life.
I desire to live for Jesus!

Answer 6

Sins are a private matter between a person and God.
The Word of God allows me to utilize -
1John 1:9 " If we name our sins, He is just and righteouss to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I sin daily as my sin nature is in every cell of my human body.
1 John 1:9 is for recovering the filling of the Holy Spirit. I pray to the Father in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ.
I utilize 1John 1:9 as Jesus Christ paid the price for sins. He who knew no sin was made sin for us, that we might have the righteousness of God .
Once I am back in fellowship, I study the Word of God and apply it to my life.

Answer 7

Whenever i err or sin the Holy Spirit within me convicts of that I ask for forgiveness, Yes and God forgives me - I believe andI know it. If the devil is reminding about the forgiven sins, I just rebuke him in Jesus name knowing that he is fighting for the lost cause.

Therefore now we victors in Christ Jesus, Amen.

Answer 8

I ask God every single day to please help me to be more the woman He wants me to be.
It is hard, sometimes, to realize that I've done wrong, and even harder to accept that I can't get past the temptation to do it again without His help.
That is exactly why I do need His help.

(I could go into the reasons why I don't believe in a literal "hell" as a place of torment, here, you've given me a beautiful opening. Let me leave you with this thought...if Jesus is to pay the full price of sin...why isn't He, right now, twisting in agony in the flames?)

Answer 9

I try to think of what Jesus would do about what is happening or I quote a Verse that may apply to this sin and if I shoud fail the test. I repent as quickly as i can.,because we have a father in heaven that is quick to forgive us, if we ask him and confess that sin to the Lord.

Answer 10

You cant respond ,there isn't enough time, god has already forgiven you before you finish viewing it, as you feel the weight youre sin coming over you,, the desire to apologize begins to build up, but before you can do it , god shows you that you're forgiven , and the feeling of unworthiness moves in and stands beside the feeling of your need to apologize, and again you're reminded that you're forgiven , this all takes place in the less then the blink of an eye and seems to last a life time strange how much time goes by in that little blink,, and all you can feel is sad,.... that jesus ,,Did that ,,,,

Answer 11

Huh? Sin?

Look, I know you mean well, or at least are sincere, but honestly, to someone outside your own narrow belief system, that's really just "crazy people talk."

I have no sin. I have never sinned. I have absolutely no need whatsoever of redemption, salvation, or your "Jesus" deity. PERIOD.

Yes, I have made mistakes in my life. The consequences of ALL my actions, and those of my ancestors before me, shape the world I live in today . . . but not a single, solitary one of those acts was a "sin." They are simply "orlog" . . . that which IS.

We heathens like to say that our godhs may not be perfect, or even immortal, but they are OUR godhs, and we . . . are good enough for THEM. Sorry yours hates you so.
