Dearly beloved as you think of the great price , Jesus our Lord paid to redeem you in particular from sin, you will see the reason why you should be determined, never to yield to sin and be resisting it with all your spiritual stamina by the grace of God.

Isa 53:4 — Isa 53:6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

It is because of the believers of all ages and you in particular’s realization of the great price, Jesus our Lord , paid for our sins, that compels them and must be constraining you too , to live a sin free lifestyle, that our Lord and the blessed Holy Spirit, commanded.

John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

However, should you accidentally fall into sin, the Bible reveals what you must do to be reconciled back to God.

1. You must have godly sorrow, because you have sinned. It is not regretting because of the repercussions, as the unregenerate used to do. But sincere godly sorrow, because, you have failed our Lord and put Him to open shame before the devil.

2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Heb 6:4 — Heb 6:6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

2. You must turn to God in sincere penitent prayer and contrition.

Psalms 80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Psa 51:1 — Psa 51:4 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Our Father in heaven, even though it grieved Him, that you have sinned is always willing to restore erring sinners back into fellowship with Him.

Isa 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions,and, as a cloud, thy sins :return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

Jer 3:22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.

Luk 15:11 — Luk 15:24 And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Dearly beloved, always remember, the Lord forbid you from falling into sin. But should you slipped accidentally, return immediately to Him, in true penitence and He will restore you.

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made,and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

I am persuaded you are still standing and sustaining your resolute sin free lifestyle. So continue with it, till Christ comes. But just in case anything has happened, our Lord is your advocate, return to Him.

1Jo 2:1 — 1Jo 2:2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
