Your relationship with God….
You might make mistakes. Everybody does. Everybody makes mistakes. So Read Romans 7 and 1st John 1:9. There is a sense of peace that you will have walking in the Spirit ( see Romans 8). There is also a point beyond which you cannot go. Honest mistakes are forgivable and no one can know the limits of God’s grace and a deliberately honest sin wherein you presume God's forgiveness is also in the realm of his capacity for grace. It is said the unforgivable sin is denying the power of the Holy Ghost as in denying His power to forgive. But, would you trample on His grace daily and deliberately and expect His spirit to remain close? To him who knows what is right and does not do it, to him it is a sin-bing that. Here; Read this:
“Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” ( Hebrews 10:28-31 )
Your heart says there is no remorse or sorrow when you keep doing the same thing over and over again as if God's call on you was just to make you feel good while you do as you please without any fear or shall I say respect for Him. Read Romans 8 verse 1 and if you cuss your hockey coach, forgive yourself. You will be upset if you are not asked to play next game and if you are a Born again believer, you will feel disappointed that you let God down in your example of Him. You will aim to never do it again and you won't, by God's grace, as you grow and ask for more of the Holy Ghost. You never cared before about how God might feel. You don't want to lose that sense of caring about how God might feel as if you never knew such a presence of God where your heart becomes cold and insensitive to Him as if you never felt Him before in your life. You will lose that sense of peace and it may take some time for it to return. In fact, you might have to wait a little while as you doubt your faith in this sense of separation from God but if you are truly in Him, you will wait while living in the knowledge of the word and what you know of as that expectation of you as a real disciple( see the movie the Book of John 39 times and feel real) instead of the God given emotions of peace. Here, you will learn that your faith is not just emotions of joy but choice to live for Him even when you can feel that separation from Him. Peace will return. Read Romans 8: 28-39. Wait and the peace will return. Have a gentle discipline and why would you deliberately plan to sin anyway? Did someone tell you that you would be the chief representative of the fire brigade if you take their evil suggestion to cheat on your wife? You like the peace that faith in Christ has given you. Hold on! You never know when God might send you to a library to help an old Anglican minister down the steps somehow or a young Wesleyan minister find a book on a shelf for his doctrinal theses. You just happened to be there to help him look and hand him a book right off the shelf. God loves you and what you need is right down the road. God loves you so hold on. Read John 17 and enjoy being conformed into the image of His son.
