·How to over come it.
 
Dear Friends I will just share to U about What is Sin.
 
What Is Sin
We live in a culture where the concept of sin has 
become 
entangled in legalistic arguments over right and 
wrong. When many of us consider "What is sin?" 
we think of violations of the Ten Commandments. 
Even then, we tend to think of murder and adultery 
as "major" sins compared with lying, cursing, 
or idolatry. The truth is that sin, as defined in the 
original translations of the Bible, means 
"to miss the mark." The mark, in this case, 
is the standard of perfection established 
by God and evidenced by Jesus. Viewed in 
that light, it is clear that we are all sinners. 
As its is Written in the bible The Apostle Paul says 
in Romans 3:23: "All have sinned and fall 
short of the glory of God." 
 
In light of this, it does no good to compare 
ourselves to others. We cannot escape our 
failure to be righteous in our own strength. 
This is by God's design, because only when 
we understand our weakness will we consider 
relying on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.Sin is 
mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible, 
starting with the "original" sin when Adam 
and Eve ate of the tree of knowledge. 
Often it seems as if sin is simply the violation 
of any of God's laws, including the Ten 
Commandments. 
 
Paul, however, puts this in perspective in
 Romans 3:20, when he says, 
"Therefore no one will be declared righteous 
in His sight by observing the law; rather, 
through the law we become conscious of sin.
" God wanted us to recognize our sins. 
Even those who have not murdered or committed 
adultery will find themselves convicted of lying, 
or of worshipping false idols like wealth or 
power ahead of God. Basically, sin in any 
amount will distance us from God. 
"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to 
save, nor His ear too dull to hear," says 
Isaiah -59: 1-2. "But your iniquities have 
separated you from your God; your sins have 
hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.
" We must resist the temptation to act as if 
we are righteous, especially by leaning on our 
good works. "If we claim to be without sin, 
we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 
and will forgive us our sins and purify us from 
all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not 
sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his 
word has no place in our lives" (1 John 1:8-10). 
 
The Nature of Sin :
Sin is like being uprooted
The effect of sin is like pulling a plant up out 
of the ground so that its roots are dangling in
 the air. Sin's effect in this way is immediate, 
but time must pass before its effect can be seen-- 
ah...do you see this? If you do pull a plant up 
out of the ground it will shrivel and die, but on 
the other hand, if you replant it in the rich soil, 
before too much time has passed, it can be 
restored. If you wait until the plant is fully dead, 
then reinserting it in the soil will do no good. 
This image might seem rather elementary to you, 
but its application regarding sin is not so well 
understood, so please bear with me as I continue.
In this parable man is the plant and God is the rich 
soil. If a person is rooted out of God, because 
of sin's presence, we can say that the person is 
dead, (at the uprooting) and the effect will be 
seen later. So long as the person has animal life, 
that is, their heart is beating and they are breathing, 
that person can be "replanted" into the rich soil, 
that is, back into God and live again. If the 
person dies the physical death in an uprooted 
state then that person has died the second death 
and cannot be restored--ever.
So dear Friends pray this prayer that you must 
be uprooted from ur sin and replanted in Christ 

Jesus.
 
Prayer:
Lord Jesus I thank you that you thought me 
what is sin Lord without knowing that I sinned 
all this day long. Lord Jesus Forgive me for my 
sin I believe that know one can save me from 
my sin but except you alone cos I also believe 
that you died on the cross even for my sin you 
alone are ables to uproot me from my sins and 
replant me by your  blood lord Jesus .
Jesus help me to live a sinless life and by your 
grace in Precious name of our lord Jesus I pray.
Amen and Amen…….
Next let us meditate How does sin work in our life.
