46: How to Experience Freedom From Your “Besetting Sins”

45: To Know or Not Know, that is the Question

What Happens When We Confess Our Sins
The Chosen is one of the most moving portrayals of Christ that has ever been put on film. And I’ve watched them all. Every time I watch an episode, I am compelled to surrender more of my life to Jesus. And this segment is no exception.
In this clip, you will see a perfect picture of how the Lord responds to us when we try to live the Higher Christian Life in the flesh and fail. And we will always fail. It can be no other way.
Do you remember the first of our three truths? Truth one simply states that you are incapable of pleasing God or producing anything good with your flesh, your sinful nature, no matter how hard you try. It cannot be done, has never been done, will never be done, by anybody, ever. Why? Because it says in Romans 7:18, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.” Case closed. End of story. Done.
We must stop trying to do what only the Lord can do through us. The Higher Christian Life is found in our surrender of ourselves to Him and Him living His life through us. There is no place for self-effort. Only self-surrender.
