As for ourselves, although we have expended and worked a lot, there are our own ulterior motives. We only want to labor for the Lord in exchange for a beautiful destination, the blessings to enter into the kingdom of heaven, and a crown. Such kind of sacrifices involves deceitful nature and is completely making a deal with the Lord. When we get some achievements in the work for the Lord, we think ourselves somebody, looking down on anyone else and we become terribly arrogant. When we are imprisoned for the Lord, we think that we love the Lord more than others; so we boast everywhere that we have stood witness for the Lord, drawing brothers and sisters into our presence and standing in God's place to make people revere and admire us. When God's work doesn't conform to our notions, we deny God, judge and resist God. ... It can be seen that if our satanic dispositions haven't changed, we can still commit sin to resist and betray God, and we are still in enmity with God. Only when we pursue genuinely, remove our corruption and no longer believe in God according to our satanic dispositions, conceptions, and notions, and live by God's words and truly obey God in everything, can we be approved by God and be brought into His kingdom.
Now, we know what's God's attitude toward sinners is; in other words, we know how God will treat us. So, from now on, we should pursue being cleansed, and only in this way can we gain blessings from God, be brought into the kingdom of heaven by Him, and receive a wonderful destination. Then, how can we break away from sin? Where can we find the way to this? Here I recommend a movie to you: The Moment of Change.
