Breaking the Sin Cycle
“Again the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight.”
Judges 10:6
It’s easy to sin. It’s easy to sin again. The first time seems pretty innocent. No one gets hurt or even notices. It’s kind of fun, so we do it again.
Sin lies. It says continuing to sin is harmless. But the truth is, sin will take us farther than we ever intend to go and do more than we ever intend to do. Sin intends to lure and hold us hostage in powerful cycle.
Take heart my friend! We can break the sin cycle! God’s grace is greater than the power of our sin cycle. When His children repent, He forgives. Repenting is more than saying “I am sorry”. Repentance is a change of mind that leads to change of heart resulting in a change action.
Just as He heard the cry of repentance from the Israelites, He hears our cry.
Different starts when we break the sin cycle by confessing our sin and accepting God’s grace.
Wendy ,
So thankful for this post; for the reminder that the cycle of sin can be broken through confession and repentance. You know, I’ve been in church just about all of my life, yet I’ve never understood so much about repentance until I started studying God’s word with you 5 yrs. ago!!!! Praising God for your teachings. God has allowed you to change my life more than anyone in these past 5 yrs.; I can never thank Him enough for bringing you into my life. The transformation in my life is a God thing.
Eternally grateful,
