Romans 8:1-5 There is therefore now No Condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who Walk Not after the Flesh but after the Spirit. (KJV) .
Galatians 5: 24 -25 And they that are Christ’s have Crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts, if we Live in the Spirit let us also Walk in the Spirit.
God will not stop us if we choose to Sin but we will reap the evil we sow until we come to our senses and Repent, this is God’s discipline. He may send someone to warn us or show us that we are in danger but He has given us freedom to choose and when we choose to Walk in The Fruit of The Spirit doing what is right, He will empower us through the Spirit so we can walk Righteously and this will put our Carnal flesh to death as we Aim to be Perfected in Love. We remember also that we do not Walk alone, God knows those who are His and not one of us will be lost, He protects our Souls.
Romans 8 :12-15 Therefore, Brothers, we have an obligation but it is not to the Sinful Nature to Live according to it or if you Live according to the Sinful Nature you will die but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body you will live because those who are led by the Spirit of God are Sons of God.
Colossians 3:4-6 When Christ who is your life appears then you also will appear with Him in glory. Put to death therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed which is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming.

Amen

A long time ago, I heard the mark of a “mature” Christian described as: “Mature Christians sin less and less and when they do sin, they recognize it much faster and repent.” God is refining us and placing a desire in our hearts to please Our Father in heaven!

Very True Debbie and yes we are indeed under Grace if we Sin before we are Perfected in Love and than Walk as Jesus did on earth which was without Sin but until than Jesus is our only Advocate and Intercedes for us so that when we Repent we are forgiven as you shared.
But Thankfully when we have put to death through The Holy Spirit our Carnal Flesh that causes us to Sin (Romans8) and we are Born Again and Perfected in Love, having than God’s seed or Nature(1John3:9) He tells us as confirmed in the Scriptures above and in others that we will no longer Sin, that we can’t because those He knows as His own will be conformed into the Image of Jesus and not one of us will be lost…… How Good is that!
“Christ”ian Love Debbie and God’s Blessings,

Very True Debbie as confirmed in 1 Corinthians 5:8, we are to put the evil of our Carnal flesh to death and Walk in Love, Standing up for God’s Truth regardless of the Opposition inflicted on us, He will keep us Strong till the end, meaning when Jesus returns for us.

Wonderful Encouragement Lynn, Thank you, what I have noticed about you Lynn is that you are Faithful to encourage others to keep their focus on The Lord so we can Walk in His Love and do His good Works, which is what He asks us to do as we can see confirmed in the Scripture below, Thank you again.
Hebrews 10: 24-25 And let us consider one another in order to stir up Love and Good Works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some but exhorting one another and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Christian Love Always – Anne ( Grannie Annie)
