QUICK TIP: How To Avoid Sinning Often

What is sin? Primarily, sin is getting on God's wrong side. Doing something that offends God or the Godhead. There are many things that can offend the Godhead. Quite a lot. In fact, some of the things that offend the Godhead range from sins directly offending them stipulated in the Bible to things that are just morally wrong even to fellow human beings (not all though). And as well as sins that you do to yourself that can have long lasting wrong effects on you.

Sin is either physically noticeable or totally invisible such that nobody even knows it has happened. It can even be so bad to the extent that you the sinner do not even know that you have sinned. Sin is really a sublime thing. The sin I am most concerned about is not the sublime version, I am talking about the very easily noticeable type such as found in the 10 commandments, because these are what most people are familiar with, and strangely enough they form the basis for morality, and even stranger, God has written it into every man's heart...hahahaha...so, that technically makes all men without excuse. Many people find themselves flaunting these laws so badly.



Let me list the commandments for reference, EXODUS 20:1-17


And God spake all these words, saying,

I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

SOLUTION:
1. Get born again, and it will help you fix it. Not permanently, but you will notice the difference and great help.
2. Get filled with the Holy Spirit. He will bail you out. Not 100% because you will disobey him sometimes, that is normal regular human stubbornness, but as long as you have him, you will notice the difference and great help.
2. Build a good reputation among a handful of people such that if you break these laws or get caught you will be ruined. People who have a lot at stake rarely commit crimes that will ruin that reputation. Not 100%, but you will notice the difference and great help as well.

Good luck, the force be with thee.
