Forgivness Part 2

Romans 6:11-13, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in lust thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”
While it is true God is very forgiving and very long suffering and patient. The question then is if God is so forgiving and all we have to do is confess can we then live like we want to? God did give us the freedom of choice; however He also gave us some rules to live by. Some believe they can live like the devil all week long then go to church on Sunday and bow their head and all will be ok. Way back in the garden Adam was given a choice obey God or leave the garden. We all know what happened when he choose to live like he wanted to. Judas walked with Jesus and chose to live like he wanted to and look what happened to him. Romans 6:16, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
So to answer the question can we live like e want to; I guess we can but I don’t think we will like the outcome. The choice then becomes very clear to whom do you swear your allegiance? To God or satan? Satan loves to get Christians to follow him for then he can point a finger and say, “See this Christian thing is not what its cracked up to be.” God says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal live through Jesus Christ our Lord.” “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.”
God does not remember our sin, as a vendetta against us, because Christ took them upon himself, for us. The penalty has been paid and so the debt, the transgression is forgiven. My question then is who is controlling your life? Who died for you on the cross? Who loves you enough to die for you? Who do you love enough to live for? Your actions will speak louder than your words. Jesus said, “Every tree that bringeth not good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruit ye shall know them.”
