So, the first stage of the training to live above sin is to know the reason why God had to break the power of sin.
Firstly, *we cannot but sin.* Rom 3:23
Why? It's our weakness as humans. No matter how much we try not to sin, one way or another, we fall into it. Rom 7:17
So Jesus set us free so we can *stop being sin conscious.*
This is the first mindset we need to have.
*Forget about sinning or not sinning. Focus more on your relationship with God and your life purpose.*
The devil wants to kill us with the consciousness of sin and the guilt of sinning. But Jesus took it away. He doesn't see you as a sinner anymore so, if you perhaps sin, still know that you are forgiven and MOVE ON.
Secondly, we need to be *consumed* by our desire to fulfill our life assignment.
Who do you want to be in life? (Your life purpose) Set it as a goal and busy yourself in the pursuit of it. Focus on it, not on 'not sinning.'
It all starts in the mind, whatever your mind focuses on, your body follows.
Thirdly, create an environment ( people, books) that helps you focus more on your goal than petty sins. *Once you are living for something bigger than you, you won't have time to think about sins.* Philippines 3:14
Fourthly, Always have your moments with God. Draw strength, inspiration and ideas from him and use it to get back to work on your purpose.
⚠️This is for believers who the doesn't want to sin and who the guilt of sin is killing. not for those who already enjoys sinning and looking for ways justify their actions.
I love you.❤️
Have a focused day.
