There are many Christians who may be doing all the right things for awhile but then slip back into old sin habits.

We all have sins that we struggle with and find nearly impossible to quit. We have the strength through Christ to break any addiction, and He promises to fill us with joy when we obey. The longer we continue to disobey God, the greater the pain that comes with God’s loving discipline.

It is okay to have questions and doubts, but we need to make sure that we are seeking God’s truth for answers and believe them when He gives them to us. There is no other religion like Christianity where Jesus, God Himself, died for us to make a way so that we could spend eternity with Him.
