People go through life, they want to believe in God, but they want to do their will instead of His. In other words they only want to have to do the least possible, or the bare minimum and do His will. Just enough to get them into heaven, and still have their way. That is why they spend a life time trying to find the ledge of this world and not fall off. I guess you could say they want to know the ledge, so they can live life on the edge of it. When our desire is to know God through His Son, we gain the knowledge of God as we ask Him for it. We, by faith in His name have the ability to overcome this world even if we have sinned. But if our desire is to just to know the ledge of God and not His Son, it will not be a secret to God. We may fool man but God knows our heart, and He only wants what comes after it, not before it. Until we give Him our heart, He will use us, but in the end will tell us, “I never knew you.”

So for you to know what sin is, you must first desire with your heart to know Him. What sin is to the world’s way of thinking, may not be sin at all to God. The religion of the world loves to establish rules and regulation and say if you do this than you are sinning against God, and if you do not than you remain within the limits, that might not be the case at all. For the Preachers today to say that smoking and drinking is something they are proud they never have done, or something they do not do any more, and use this as a lesson of righteousness, they will have to remove the Scripture that says, “It is not what goes in your mouth that defiles you, but what comes out of it.” Matthew 15:11

If the desire of your heart is to know God through His Son, I can assure you, your heart will condem you when you are sinning. But if your heart is not in your decisions then, the thing that God uses to communicate to you, to condem you and to give you assurance, has been left out. If you feel good or bad has nothing to do with whether your sinning or not. It all has to do with that tug at your heart, so be sure not to leave your heart out.

What will happen if you sin again, again, and again? If it is sin? You will know for sure you have yet to give your heart to God, and He is not your desire. And finding out where you are is the first step into finding out what you must do, to get to where you want to go.

What is sure sign of sin? When someone’s will is inline with God’s, and they line their will up with yours, even if it is not their will, and you treat that with disrespect, you can be sure that is sin.

Before you let the devil make you think God has cut you off because you have sinned.

First: be sure it is sin and not a broken tradition.

Second: know if it is sin, Jesus died for them all.

Third: if your true desire is to know God through His Son, your heart will let you know when you are not inline with His will.
