Short YouTube teaching by Justin R. Lester (uploaded Jan 31, 2024) advising Christians on five practical steps to "kill" sin: (1) honestly acknowledge personal sin, (2) recognize sin and temptation are always present, (3) understand the severity and consequences of sin, (4) desire deliverance through the Gospel (God provides a pathway out), and (5) accept the freedom available through Jesus — including confessing sins per 1 John 1:9. Ends with a brief call-to-action (like/subscribe).

God hates sin, but he doesn't hate you. Here are five ways that you can kill sin in your life. So it doesn't drive you, but you can drive your life to where God wants you to be. Number one, acknowledge the sin that's present in your life. When you're not honest with yourself, you're lying to yourself. So don't lie. Just tell the truth about the sin that's present in your life. Recognize number two, that sin is always around. Just the same way we're breathing air means that the temptations of sin are always around you. Number three, grasp the severity of sin's consequences. If you do it, what are the ramifications? But number four, Desire deliverance from sin. The good news of the Gospel is that God always gives us a pathway out. And lastly, own the freedom that comes in the lord Jesus. Because 1 John 1 and 9 puts it like this. If we confess our sins, Jesus our Father is faithful to forgive all of our sins and he will cleanse us from righteousness. If you are grateful for the forgiveness of the Lord Jesus, and if you're grateful that God gives you a path out, go ahead, hit that like and subscribe button and stick around for more. You got this because God's got you.
