My little children I write to you that you sin not... I john 2:1. Some teach that we are to just make a "happy" confession, and then do the best we can in life. But the Bible teaches that our best is not good enough, in fact it is worthless. We need the power of God working in our lives, to empower us to live above sin (to be able to say NO to sin). The Bible says we are to receive "power" after the Holy Spirit come upon us. This goes way past the "happy" confession and speaks of true conversion! How do we know if we possess this power? It is a life changing experience. The things I use to do, I don't do any more. The life I use to live has changed. There is a new power working inside of me, leading me in a path of light and life! It is Him in me, and no longer me by myself struggling against sin. I can live a life well pleasing to God, because the Life within is doing the "pleasing." It has become easier to walk day by day in the Light, because He growing up in me. I have decreased, and He increases, and He has no problem with sin at all. Be blessed.
