Frequently asked questions

You're not alone in your journey. Many of us grapple with similar struggles and questions about our faith and walk with Jesus. Here, we address some of the most pressing inquiries our community has, offering insights grounded in scripture and encouragement.

How do I defeat lust?

Defeating lust is a spiritual battle requiring God's strength and intentional steps. In order to defeat lust, you have to avoid it, not fight it, it involves renewing your mind, setting boundaries, accountability, and drawing closer to Jesus through prayer and scripture. Remember, God provides a way out of every temptation. You are not meant to fight this alone.

If I fell short before, what does it matter if it happens again?

Every moment is a new opportunity for repentance and renewal. While past failures can be discouraging, God's mercy is new every morning. He calls us to persevere, to learn from our mistakes, and to lean on His grace. Your journey is about progress, not perfection, and He delights in your desire to turn back to Him.

Jesus said to the immoral woman, "Neither do I condemn you, Go now and leave your life of sin." John 8:11. Though she was full of sin, and everyone condemned her, Jesus didn't. But he did tell her to go and sin no more. So, know Jesus will always forgive you, but he calls us to sin no more!

What are practical steps to avoid lustful thoughts?

Practical steps include guarding your eyes, mind, and heart. Fill your life with wholesome content, engage in meaningful activities, and flee from situations that trigger temptation. Be honest with a trusted mentor or accountability partner. Most importantly, fill your mind with God's truth.

Is it possible to truly overcome a long-standing sin?

Yes, with God, all things are possible. Overcoming deep-rooted sin often takes time, perseverance, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. It's a process of sanctification, where God continually works within you. Don't give up; His power is greater than any addiction or habit.

How can i grow closer to Jesus?

Growing closer to Jesus is a journey of daily devotion and surrender. Spend time in His word, pray consistently, engage in worship, and serve others. Seek fellowship with other believers and allow His Spirit to transform your heart. Every step, no matter how small, brings you nearer to Him.

If Jesus died for our sins doesnt that mean we can sin and still be forgiven?

Jesus' sacrifice indeed provides forgiveness for our sins, but this grace is not an invitation to continue in sin. Rather, it's a call to freedom from sin's power. True faith leads to repentance and a desire to live a life pleasing to God, not to exploit His grace. His forgiveness empowers us to fight sin, not to embrace it.

How does prayer help in overcoming sin?

Prayer is your direct line to God's power. Through prayer, you confess your weaknesses, ask for strength, and invite the Holy Spirit to transform you. It helps you stay focused on God, surrender your struggles, and receive His peace and guidance in moments of temptation.

How can i find a supportive community in my fight against sin?

Finding like-minded believers is crucial. Look for a church or small group that emphasizes spiritual growth and accountability. Consider visiting our Community Forum where you can connect with others who share similar struggles and encourage one another in Christ.
