So how do we deal with repetitive sin according to the Bible? There are so many good answers here, but perhaps the most important way to deal with repetitive sin is to never give up. Our hope is only found when we truly believe that God’s faithfulness is greater than our faithlessness.

@Umbra_Mask5 years ago God bless you dude.
ive been struggling with porn addiction for the last 10 years, its been taking a toll on my faith and mental health, and id="hidden4" many times i questioned my own faith because of my actions, i even saw oncedesert because of that same problem.
but god never failed to show me his great forgiveness. It was never about how much i sinned, but how great was his sons sacrifice.
for anyone also struggling, there is no sin big (or frequent) enough that god cant forgive. Our christian path is not about how much we dont sin, but how big his love is for us.

I just listened to a deliverance prayer bc i so badly want to get rid of this spirit of lust. Next thing i know, this video popped up in my completely undone by gods unconditional love i feel unworthy but i must fight the good fight, repent quickly and not give up.
