If only we would put half as much effort into obeying the Spirit as we do into gratifying selfish ambitions, what effective lives we would live! Much here to contemplate. So true!!

This is very predominant truth that is important to keep in mind. (See, I knew I could have posted hundreds more Scriptures!) Thank God we do not have to stumble in the darkness only hoping we are on the right track! Hello, Jay, and thank you for pointing the context of that Scripture out!

I think you've outdone yourself with this post! When I was reading this, several Scriptures popped into my head, but then you covered them all (each and every one). :D One interesting point to make, is that in 1 John 1:9, although it does tell us that God will forgive us of our mistakes, it also makes it clear in verse 7 that it is our responsibility to walk in the Light. We cannot (as you pointed out) keep sinning willfully- as some say, "Forgive me for what I'm about to do". We need to continually walk in the light, and when that occasional mistake pops up, we can ask for forgiveness, and not be taking Jesus' gift of redemption for granted. Wow, Alice! I'm just astounded at how well you presented this topic. Keep up the great work! ;D Oh my word, Alice! I think you’ve outdone yourself with this post!
