As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct
1 Peter 1:14-15, ESV
We are made new in Christ. We should no longer live by what we have known and thought, or by what the world says, but by what God says through His Word and Holy Spirit.
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out
Acts 3:19, ESV
The Father loves us and invites us as we are, but He does not expect us to stay as we have been.
God expects us to change, to be transformed by the Holy Spirit to be more like His Son.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9, ESV
There is no forgiveness without confession and repentance.
Give your sin to God, and find peace.
If it helps, tell a trusted Christian brother or sister.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18, ESV
Do not think you can do everything on your own. Sometimes we all need help.
Especially in matters of eternity. We all need Christ to escape The Fall.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10, ESV
Only God can make us good and clean.
Lord, give us wisdom to seek You, and clean our hearts and minds as You cleanse our souls.
As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,
Titus 3:10, ESV
Some people only want to cause trouble. They gossip, demean, and mock, all in the guise of “prayer” and “accountability”.
Tell them stop, and if they refuse to listen avoid them (even to the point of kicking them out of the congregation).
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:7, ESV
Do not assume you know more than God or that He lacks understanding. Realize your need for His grace and forgiveness, that His way is right, and that your life is in His hands.
