It says to forgive others because the pain inflicted by the majority is punishment enough.
Now I've been struggling with a sin that I repeat again and again and again. I know I need to stop. I want to stop. I have prayed to God to stop me, to help me stop, to end my willfullness. And yet I still do it.
Am I still forgiven? Should others forgive me? I knew at the beginning that if I confessed my sins, He is faithful and just forgives us our sins. However, if you continue doing it, how does that show true repentance?
On top of that, He says that "No temptation has ever seized you except for what is common to man. And God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. and when you are tempted, He will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Corinthians 10:13) I take it as I have this temptation yes but there is no such thing as not being able to defeat it. I just have to give up my will.
So why am I not?
