Many people struggle with recurring sin, from ordinary members to church leaders, which is why a majority of church websites emphasize the importance of recognizing and correcting sinful patterns.  Some Christians are so overwhelmed by the guilt of committing the sin repeatedly that it never occurs to them they should try to work on improving their ways.  They fail to understand that recurring sin should not continue indefinitely, especially if they want to be a devout and faithful Christian.

 

One of the keys to a righteous life is to recognize that sin has roots and there will always be different forms of evil to tempt believers.  Once these individuals succumb to temptation, they may feel as though they lack the faith needed to change their sinful ways.  In order to avoid that from happening, either avoid temptations altogether or network with other church members to ensure you eliminate as much sin as possible from your life.

 

Once Christians accurately identify what led them to sinful patterns, they will realize that recurring sin can’t be easily defeated on their own.  The Bible encourages Christians to lean on the power of prayer by seeking help from God.  Some Christians are crippled by recurring sin since they only seek God after they have stumbled.

 

While God has promised to strengthen those who are desperate and hurting during trying times, church websites almost always encourage church members to find support among their congregation and peers.  Few Christians choose to share with other church members what they are struggling with as they fear the judgment their sins might attract.

However, most Christians have discovered that not committing certain sins can be more challenging than they first thought.  As a result, it is more beneficial in the long run to have a support group that you rely on and feel comfortable with so breaking away from patterns of sin is easier.
