You're only human...right?

"You're only human...u might as well ______."

Ok show of hands...who has heard someone say this?! Ugh this warms my insides [not in a good way] when I hear this, and don't let it be out the same person mouth over and over...If I catch you saying it I'ma chop you in the throat...oh...sorry I was in the moment...oopsy

Are we humans...yes BUT this should NOT be an excuse to do or say what we want and that goes for me or anyone else. OH you don't believe me?! Lets take a lil gander at The Good ol' Word:

1 Peter 2:16 NLT For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.

Galatians 5:13  For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful [human] nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.

** Galatians 5:16-26 is the passage that explain these verses 

The fact that we are human makes us [we] need Jesus all the more. Jesus came that we might have power over sin. We chose whether or not we will give into to our human nature or not...Alot of times I want to do what I want and say what I want and as a Christian I struggle but I rather go down with a fight. I think hmmm...to do what I want and gratify my flesh temporarily and have to repent for a planned sin or choose to do the opposite. And to be honest sometimes I fail and I do what I want but sin and disobedience cost ya! trust that!

Are Christians perfect..no BUT if you are claiming salvation and yet you are comfortable in sin there is a problem with that...Jesus died for our sins and gives us power to overcome. Its a matter of obedience. 

I'm not only human because I have the power through Christ, If we declare that we can do all things through Christ shouldn't that include resisting sin? You choose.
