As believers we have to ask ourselves if what we truly want is God, or is what we really want is a form of godliness that would allow us to straddle the fence and keep one foot in sin. God's love, forgiveness, and grace is freely given but He does require something of us in exchange. Obedience, and a conscious choice to choose a life that is alignment with His character and His word or be turned over to sin.
We have gotten so comfortable with lukewarm Christianity, that we are offended when someone points out the fact that Jesus said "Go and sin no more", after giving forgiveness to a woman who would have otherwise been condemned.
He who is actively practicing sin, is not in Christ though they can deceive themselves and be deceived into believing that choosing Christ doesn't mean they have to actually make changes.
Let's honor God in our faith walks through our choices and behaviors.
Here are the scriptures I discussed:
John 8
1 John 3
Please read these scriptures and the entire books listed.
Challenge yourself to get into reading the Bible, start with the New Testament, read a couple of pages per day, once you've finished the New Testament, go back and start at the Old Testament and look for the ways that Jesus' coming was foretold throughout the Old Testament from the very beginning.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
