WHY DO CHRISTIANS GET TO SIN?
In the Bible there is a very clear distinction between the Flesh and the Spirit. If you follow your flesh you are under the law, the 10 commandments leads to death. (Rom 7:10). But if you follow the Spirit you are no longer under "that" law, now you are under the law of the Spirit. Rom 8:1-2 says "there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ has made me free from the law of sin and death".
So, when you ask Jesus into your life, He puts His Spirit in you and now you are under a different law. Confused?..... ok, let's give an example.
Example: if you drive on the highway going 220km/hr, and they pull you over, they will impound your car, handcuff you and drag your sorry ass butt to jail. But.... lets change locations to Germany, on the autobahn, and you go 220km/hr and pass a police car, there is no issue. Why? Because you are under a different law. Same action but different law.
So, as Christians, all things are allowed but not everything is good for you. As in our example, at 220km/hr, if you run over anything bigger than a squirrel your going into the ditch and you will die! Somethings are just wrong. You know it and God knows it... so moral law still takes its place and this is where "conviction" comes into place. Because the Spirit of God is your new life coach, He will give you a stern talking too. Just like a good parent would. 2 Cor 3:18 talks about being transformed into His image. The longer you walk with your life coach, the more you will look like Him.
So.... I hope this helps you understand..
Love you all
