Should a believer preach the gospel even if you are committing a sin? In other words, should a believer continue with pornography, foul language, masturbation, nakedness, backsliding, and the list goes on and on? The question is: Should a person continue to do their duties as a believer to spread the gospel or preach the gospel even if are sinning in the secular world?
That's bothering me in my mind for quite some time. Especially there are some believers are struggling with that. I am meant, I am struggling. We all are. Some believers struggle to temptations every day. Sometimes others will fall. When that happens, they feel ashamed, disgusted, disgraceful and embarrassing and the list goes on and on. What can we do against temptation? What can we do to make sure we don't fall? It is a battle. Especially there are some believers are struggling. Believe me, I get it. I understand more than you think. I understand why none of the believers see it that way.
How can you fight against temptation, against pornography, against masturbation and the list goes on and on? It is true, we have to ask the Lord to give us the strength to resist temptation and influence in a secular world. It's true we need to continue to believe Jesus die on the cross for us, then within three days he has risen.
We all need to repent, pray, read a word of God and spread the gospel to the world. We all need to do that, but we need to keep in mind everyone is different. In other words, each person has different abilities to spread the gospel in their own way. Not everyone can preach the gospel in the same way the person preaching. For a sample, I cannot preach the way Apostle Mike or pastor Allen can preach. It's true anybody can preach the gospel, but we need to keep in mind everyone is different styles of preaching the gospel, even it's the true gospel. Plus, we the believers must have a clean heart. Resist temptations for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
James 1:12 blessed is the man that endures temptation, for when he is tired, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loves him.
We need to resist temptation, thanks to the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ to give us strength. Like it says in the scriptures, for those who resist temptation endure will receive the crown of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Even so, it's difficult to endure temptations. We have to tell outside to say no. It sounds crazy to some people, but it's true. If it does happen to be tempted, just say no to yourself for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to give us the strength to resist temptations in the secular world.
