Hiya, Family!
I have been pondering something over the last few days and I have prayed about it. Ever since I have rededicated and have been trying to line my life up with God's Word, there are still instances where I sin. My questions are these:
1) How are we to respond if we live (or work, or otherwise have to be) in an environment where sin (cursing, pornography, explicit song lyrics, etc.) is taking place all the time? I live at home with my mother and my siblings participate in these things and when they curse, play the music, etc., since I used to listen to that type of music and curse (among other things), I find their language repeating in my mind. Then I immediately go and repent constantly during the day.
2) Is it possible to sin too much and ask for forgiveness to much and even repent too much? Some sin that I participated in during my former life, I did so for years and some of those habits surface again and I have to stop and immediately ask for forgiveness and repent.
I'm confused and that terrifies me because I KNOW that God is not a God of confusion. Maybe that's Satan on my shoulder... I am aware that Jesus lived our life without sin and died for our sins, past, present, and future, but isn't there a limit to this forgiveness...even if we are just a babe in Christ?
Your prayer and thoughts are much needed...! :-)
