What is it that would compell a believer now to still go off in sin. There is something about a born again believer that sneaks around or just lives in blatant sin. What would possess a born again God fearing person such as you and I to do things we know do not fit the new creation now? When everything is said and done the one thing that causes a believer to live that kind of a lifestyle is-THEIR LOVE. The love for the father is not deeper than themselves. They love themselves more than they love their father.
It will be a love situation now in all a believer says and does. They keep themselves because of love and a understanding of who they are. They know they are the very living expression of Christ and all the father is. They are the fruit of the Spirit by Christ in them and a desire and love for being that life always. Do we do it always? No but the desires of who they are is transferred from just a self for yourself, to a believer with understanding of how life fits together and work's.
Love will motivate a believer to do all they do for life and living. Father love, the love of God expressed as you, as your creation love is demonstrated. You fall in love with love (God is love) and do all you know to do to be that love for others. If a believer has a doer mentality here is the way to live, work at the love for God as a motivating factor in all you will ever do.
You may never perfect love but it is your desire to be love and you love your father more than you love yourself. You see there is nothing more the father can do for you when it comes to setting you free. Take a long look at the cross and you see it gives the believer freedom. You have to be free in mind in order to operate as it is designed. I always have a problem with those that tell you that a Christian's freedom will cause them to sin. They say you need to be corralled until you can an live right, when in fact the opposite is true. If you ever watch a person that was raised in a strict law slinging household and made to do certain things to please God they usually want nothing to do with God.
Everything they did came under judgement and correction, law logs were always in place and when they get out of that household watch them because most will live like the devil sowing what they used to call wild oats. They can be some of the hardest to reach because they have been brain washed and don't even like bringing up the word religion. They simply hate it because of what they have been told is life.
Raising children is tricky situation because they have a sin nature and you will need to explain the gospel to them. You need to teach your kids not Sunday school, they need to know what you know if you know anything. Sunday school is good but you reach them and they will come to enjoy life as it is intended and they will love their father
I know kids that have been raised with the knowledge of Christ is life. What a joy to see young people with knowledge and they were sparred the hell of religion, what a difference. It is the gospel a live in believers.
