Sin is everywhere, we must be cautious how we live our lives and do our best to avoid it. Lust, temptation, jealousy, rage, violence and many others acts creep into our lives and brutalize our relationships with each other and with Jesus. Even with a strong foundation and belief in God, we are still susceptible to sin and will never get away from it, but fortunately our loving Fathers forgives and forgets all the acts we commit. As forgiving as He is though, you should make your best effort to avoid things that cause you to sin. The bible says if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off, if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out…Now, I am not promoting self mutilation, and if you go chopping limbs off, don't blame me…thats on you… (or, off you…in this case) but, the underlying concept is, if there are things in your life that you KNOW will tempt you, avoid them! Bad movies, the internet, certain "friends" and the likes.
Everyone has their downfalls, no one is perfect, but it's our job here on earth to spread the glory of God and we can't be doing that if our lives are constantly in the devils hands.
