Trying Our Best

Trying Our Best
Author: Mark V. Markov

To practice sinning
And to live in practicing sin means
To live in practicing sin,
And not asking for forgiveness from God.
To continue to practice sin,
By not living in the faith.
By being without living faith in God

Since if you practice your faith in God
You will ask for forgiveness
For all of your sins
And try your best
To not sin

And if there is no struggle for you
Then you avoid the sin all together
Yet if it’s a struggle
Or it’s health related
Then you ask for forgiveness
And try your best to not sin

Every time you ask for forgiveness from God
You are practicing your faith in God
And it’s when you sin and not ask for forgiveness
Then you live a life in practicing sin
And not your living faith in God

No one is perfect except for
God the Heavenly Father,
Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
That is why the Lord’s prayer
Included the words
Forgive us for our sins
As we forgive the ones
Who have sinned against us.

If we are acknowledging our sins
Before God as believers
Then that tells us
About our life as believers

Being from time to time,
We do sin sometimes
And so we are instructed
By our Lord Jesus Christ
To ask for forgiveness
And of course
To put our best effort to not sin

So if we sin sometimes
We are still God’s children
As long as we pray to God and ask for forgiveness
And as long as we try our best to not sin

Yet sometimes it could be a struggle
And or it could be health related
So even though
Because of those circumstances we repeat the same sin,
From time to time.

As long as we sincerely ask God for forgiveness,
Elohim the Holy Trinity forgives us

The Holy Scripture says
For if we confess our sins
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

So when we confess our sins
We are practicing our faith in God
And not living a life in practicing sin

To practice sin
Is to live a life in sin
Without asking for forgiveness from God
And without even trying to walk away from the sin

When those people are able to walk away from it
When there’s nothing that’s making them to practice it
When those people can easily walk away from the sin
But yet they choose not to walk away

And they choose to purposely practice the sin.
Over time,
For believers in God and in Jesus Christ.
It becomes a deliberate sin.

And even the whole situation becomes
Very similar
To the verse in reference
Of people living a life practicing sin

Those people that are living a life in practicing sin
Are not God’s children
Because they are living a life
Not practicing their faith in God
But are living a life
In practicing sin

For the believer
The word of God instruction is
To not sin
And to not sin deliberately.

To sin deliberately is
When you are purposely sinning
Without even trying to not sin.

When you are not in a struggle
And it’s not health related
When nothing is making you sin
And yet you still are committing
The sin
And you do it without even trying to not sin

Even though you are able to walk away from it
But you just want
To continue practicing the sin.
You are not in a struggle
And it’s not health related

Given the situation,
It’s easy to walk away from it
And not to do it
But the person still wants to continue
Practicing it
Without even trying to not sin

The sin turns into a deliberate sin
When the person is a believer
In God and in Jesus Christ
And continues to purposely sin
Unless its a struggle
Or it’s health related,
When that person purposely sins
It becomes a deliberate sin.

As believers
We must always
Practice our faith in God
And always
Confess our sins to God

Trying our best
To not to sin
Trying our best,
To do right and not wrong
All of our lives

Then as the Holy Spirit through Apostle John says
We are God’s children
As we are trying our best,
In practicing righteousness.
Being purified,
By the blood of Jesus Christ.

To practice righteousness
Is trying our best to do right
And not wrong

As believers
We must always
Practice our living faith in God
And always
Confess our sins to God
Trying our best
To not sin
Trying our best,
In living a life practicing righteousness

Meaning we always put an effort
To do right and not wrong,
All of our lives.
God loves people that practice righteousness.
Noah was a righteous man,
And God saved him and his family.

To practice righteousness
Is always
To try our best
In doing right and not wrong
Always to,
Try our best...

Hebrews 10:26-39 (ESV)

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving
the knowledge of the truth,
there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a fearful expectation of judgment,
and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy
on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

29 How much worse punishment, do you think,
will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God,
and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified,
and has outraged the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay."
And again, "The Lord will judge his people."

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened,
you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

33 sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction,
and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

34 For you had compassion on those in prison,
and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property,
since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

36 For you have need of endurance,
so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.

37 For,

"Yet a little while,
and the coming one will come and will not delay;

38 but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him."

39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed,
but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Genesis 6:9 (ESV)

9 These are the generations of Noah.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation.
Noah walked with God.

John 14:15 (ESV)

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Matthew 22:36-40 (ESV)

36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

38 This is the great and first commandment.

39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."


1 John 1:9 (ESV)

9 If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Luke 11:1-4 (ESV)

1 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place,
and when he finished,
one of his disciples said to him,
"Lord, teach us to pray,
as John taught his disciples."

2 And he said to them, "When you pray, say:
"Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.

3 Give us each day our daily bread,

4 and forgive us our sins,for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation."

Luke 11:1-4 (ESV)

1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished,
one of his disciples said to him,
"Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

2 He said to them, "When you pray, say:

"‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation."

1 John 3:4-10 (ESV)

4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness;
sin is lawlessness.

5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning;
no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous,
as he is righteous.

8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil,
for the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him;
and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.

10 By this it is evident who are the children of God,
and who are the children of the devil:
whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,
nor is the one who does not love his brother.
