Matthews, STD. You may still be asking how you can win over sin in your life. Winning over sin is not easy. You must be really serious about the Christian life before you can win over sin. The biblical way to win over each sin in your life is to make a decision concerning each particular sin. This is called a “Decision of Faith.” If you want to win over a sin in your life, you must take these steps and continue to take them. In practice, a “decision of faith” is a single, complete action and cannot be divided chronologically (by segments of time). For our purposes here, we are dividing it logically in order to look at and to explain the different elements that make up this one step of faith. 1. Confess the sin – as sin. Name your sin, and what it makes you. For example, “Lord, I am confessing to you that I lied, and I agree with you that I am now a LIAR.” 2. Forsake the sin. (Tell God right there while you are confessing it to him, that from today on, with His help, you are turning away from that sin. You will not do it any more.) 3. Believe God’s promise of forgiveness. (God has said in 1 John 1:9, that if I confess my sin to Him, He will forgive me. After I confess, God removes the guilt. If other people were involved in this sin, I must confess my wrong doing to them and ask them for forgiveness, too. If I have wronged someone, I must confess to him or her, too, and ask for forgiveness.) 4. Then, I must receive Christ as my cleansing from that sin. When I have confessed, the Bible says God makes me clean from that sin because of Christ’s death on the cross (1 Cor. 1:24, 30; Col. 2:6). For example, you could say: “Heavenly Father, having confessed to You my sin of being a ________________________ and having promised to forsake my sin entirely, I do now deliberately and in faith believe that you have made me clean from that sin. With your help, I am now going to live without doing that sin anymore. 5. Now…Go out and live according to what you have told God – Don’t do it anymore. a. When temptation comes, and it will surely come, because Satan is not going to give up on you, you must stand strong in the decision you made to God. For example, you could say: “Satan, do not tempt me to do that sin anymore, because I have confessed and forsaken it, and God has forgiven me. I have thanked God for making me clean from that sin; so, Satan, leave me, right now.” b. Then, pray, pray, pray, pray, wherever you are, standing, walking, running, sitting, or whatever, pray to God to help you to be strong. When you do this, you are practicing the TRUTH. “And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free” (John 8:32). Spiritual freedom from sin comes by practicing the TRUTH. 3
