GoodnewsEverybody.com Life: Sin-Less, Rigteousness, "Moral", etc..

When we become Christians, we are still sinners! However, as we grow in our personal relationship with Him, we sin-less! That's our goal in our Christian walk, so we can brighter lights for Him in this "sinful dark world"!

6No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. 9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God."-1 John 3

What I do?

Every night before I go to bed, I go before God on my knees in prayer and ask Him to show me every "wrong" I've done today or anything unpure in His eyes. After he shows me when I reflect through the day (He shows what I should be thankful for too!) starting at the time I get up, I ask Him to forgive me for each "sin":

Sample Prayer

"Heavenly Father, show me all my sins I committed today that I may be pure in your eyes. I know I've done things wrong in your eyes that seem to be not wrong in my eyes (read down below for some Scripture verses of others that we learn something new everyday as we grow).

The next morning, I usually put the Armor of God (Ephesians 6) and ask God to "equip" me with other "spiritual" gear (Fruits of the Spirit-down below....

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.-Galatians 5

..and manifest each Spiritual Gift in 1 Corinthians 12...

As you grow with God and get discipled, you began to see more "yucky" stuff in life that you began to throw away.

Hey I found a really good sinners' prayer in the bible it is in Psalm 51:1-17 King David prayed it after his affair with Bathsheba.

1 Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just when You speak,[a]
And blameless when You judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise. "

More Scripture Verses on Sinning-Less

"Rules for Holy Living"

"....5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry..."- Colossians 3

*Note: Idols are not "other gods" (as mentioned in the Ten Commandments) made of stone, but it could be money, sports idols, hollywood stars, or anything that you put "before God". God is a jealous God and He doesn't like anything that you put before Him! Do you put God first (e.g. financially, time, etc..)

"22So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin."-Romans 14

"Making One's Calling and Election Sure"

"5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. "-2 Peter 1

....to be ready for another "spiritual warfare" in the sinful world we live in.

Just Remember! After you come to receive Christ (saved, born-again, etc..) and have Him become Lord of your life, you are in Christ! Yes, you'll keep sinning, but instead of staying in the ground feeling guilty of the "wrong" you did-pick-up your self (like falling in your bike as a kid) and keep going!

Our Daily Bread (Jan.28) - Murphy's Laws

"Murphys Laws are observations about life that seem to have the weight of experience behind them. Youve probably heard this one: If anything can go wrong, it will. Heres another one: You cant do just one thing; everything has its consequences.
My own experience seems to confirm many of Murphys Laws, but its that second one that I would hang on the wall as a motto. Wrong choices have their consequences. For example, if we choose to live for pleasure, that will affect our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (Ex. 20:4-5). If we walk away from God, we may discover that our children have taken that trip with us. Later, even if we return to Him, they may not.
But there is also good news. Devotion to the Lord has its consequences too. Men and women who live in faith before God can have a strong influence on their children and their childrens children. If they live a long life, they can witness the effect their faith has had on several generations. What satisfaction it brings to older people to see their posterity living for Christ!
s Murphy and the Bible agree on this point: Everything has its consequences. — Haddon W. Robinson
If you sow seeds of wickedness, Sins harvest you will reap; But scattered seeds of righteousness Yield blessings you can keep. —Sper
People who follow Christ lead others in the right direction. "

Have you ever heard that "sins" or "wrongdoings" your father, grandfather, and generations ahead of you can affect you? I was at one of my local church's homegroup last night, and the topic of "wilderness" came about. I was led to Exodus 20:4....

"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments."-Exodus 20

I shared how God has shown me some sins of my "forefathers" within my family that I had to ask Him for forgiveness because of the current/past trials/issues I'm facing. For example there was this well-known rapper name Tupac Shakur, whose parents were in prision, and he ended up going through the similar circumstance when grew up.

Also, as a specific nation (e.g. U.S.A.), we need to ask God to forgive the sins our "forefathers"-even though we might not acting on the particular sin. For example, racism, our nation has had a long record of this (e.g. KKK, Civil War, Black Panthers, etc..). Our nation is under a blanket of a "curse" due to these past generational sins.

What do we do now? Once God has shown you a list of sins from your "forefathers", ask Him to forgive your forefathers "for they do not know what they do"...

Heavenly Father, reveal (Bible can help show you through stories from the people that went through some similar circumstances) all the generation curses/sins that has passed down to me-this generation-and "forgive them for they do not know what they done". Also, forgive me all of my sins too that has kept me bonded to live the life fully (John 10:10) you promised through your Word. Please continue to show me of all my "wrongdoings" that the next generation or my chidren will not have to go through what I went though. Come and be the Lord of my life everyday and the rest of my life, so I can fulfill the work you sent me to do on earth before you take me with you at Home-Heaven. I ask all this according to your will in the precious name...Jesus!

Proverbs 2 Moral Benefits of Wisdom

"1 My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
*see GoodnewsEverybody.com Life: Relationships, etc.....
" 11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.

12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.

16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God.[a]
18 Surely her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead. 19 None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.

20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it. "

Proverbs 12

1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

21 No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.

26 The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

27 The lazy do not roast[a] any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

28 In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.

Anyone "good"?

The Rich Young Ruler (Luke 18)

" 18A ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”19And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.20“You know the commandments, ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’”21And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”22When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”23But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.24And Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!25“For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”26They who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”27But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”

28Peter said, “Behold, we have left our own homes and followed You.”29And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,30who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”

31Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.32“For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,33and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again.”34But the disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said. "

Here are five Bible-based reasons why good works – even religious ones – cannot save you or me:....

All the World Guilty (Romans 3)

"All the World Guilty

1Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?2Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.3What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

4May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, “THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED.”

5But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.)6May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?7But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?8And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just.

9What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

10as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;

11THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

12ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”

13“THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE,
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,”
“THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”;

14“WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS”; 15“THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,
16DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,
17AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN.”
18“THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.”

19Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;20because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

Justification by Faith

21But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,24being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;25whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;26for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

27Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,30since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.

31Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. ..."

Job 10 To Find Some Skeleton in My Closet

"2-7 Job prayed:

"Here's what I want to say:
Don't, God, bring in a verdict of guilty
without letting me know the charges you're bringing.
How does this fit into what you once called 'good'—
giving me a hard time, spurning me,
a life you shaped by your very own hands,
and then blessing the plots of the wicked?
You don't look at things the way we mortals do.
You're not taken in by appearances, are you?
Unlike us, you're not working against a deadline.
You have all eternity to work things out.

to dig up some dirt, to find some skeleton in my closet?
You know good and well I'm not guilty.
You also know no one can help me.

8-12 "You made me like a handcrafted piece of pottery—
and now are you going to smash me to pieces?
Don't you remember how beautifully you worked my clay?
Will you reduce me now to a mud pie?
Oh, that marvel of conception as you stirred together
semen and ovum—
What a miracle of skin and bone,
muscle and brain!
You gave me life itself, and incredible love.
You watched and guarded every breath I took.

13-17 "But you never told me about this part.
I should have known that there was more to it—
That if I so much as missed a step, you'd notice and pounce,
wouldn't let me get by with a thing.
If I'm truly guilty, I'm doomed.
But if I'm innocent, it's no better—I'm still doomed.
My belly is full of bitterness.
I'm up to my ears in a swamp of affliction.
I try to make the best of it, try to brave it out,
but you're too much for me,
relentless, like a lion on the prowl.
You line up fresh witnesses against me.
You compound your anger
and pile on the grief and pain!

18-22 "So why did you have me born?
I wish no one had ever laid eyes on me!
I wish I'd never lived—a stillborn,
buried without ever having breathed.
Isn't it time to call it quits on my life?
Can't you let up, and let me smile just once
Before I die and am buried,
before I'm nailed into my coffin, sealed in the ground,
And banished for good to the land of the dead,
blind in the final dark?"

Living for God

" 1Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. 2As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. 5But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
