Notes on overcoming sin

Ask God to show you how you look to Him-and He will do it.

Society is set up to appeal to the negative factor in our nature-and we yield to often.

Hate sin-your sins etc. Loathe them.

Sin is difficult to hate-mind seems to love sin.

Human mind loves its lusts. It hates God's way-hates to give up it's lusts.

God hates sin. And when we really hate sin as God does, then we will begin to overcome. Ask for God's mind-ask for help to hate sin. Then repent and turn.

Our sins affect God as they would any loving parent who will grieve over their errant children.

Do you want to get rid of sin for yourself or for God. Analyze this!

Make yourself do the opposite of sin. Make yourself practice the right habit.Smiling for example.

Build the habit of righteousness.
