We spend way too much time thinking about sin; our sin and others sin. Are we living a Christ like life, our manner, our dress, our thoughts and actions, are they pleasing to God.
What about those around us.
Are they representing themselves properly in the public eye. What about the music they listen to or the movies they watch, the make up they wear or tattoo's or ear rings that pierce the ear, or the perfume or cologne they wear. How much time do they spend on the Internet or cell phone. Are they drinking or doing drugs, or pornography or beat their dog.
Is it offensive to God, does it give the wrong impression to the non-christian.
We are consumed with sin, constantly watchful when it pops up in us and others.
Life is so much better when things are good and positive. The blood of Christ covers sin, we need not live in a world were everything has to be controlled, were sin has to be kept in check. We can rest in Christ and replace a world of sin with love.
Our sins are covered under grace, the work that was planned at the cross once and for all makes us right with God.

The reason we still feel the pulling influence of sin on us is because of our new character in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit within us convicts us of our righteousness, we are right with God, His saints, His church, we are no longer in sin.
God does not remove the influence of sin, He renews us inside to having a new Christ like character.
We can continue living focused on sin and never mature spiritually, or we can change our mindset to loving our God with all our focus on His love.
We can spend time asking things like, how could a loving God allow these horrors to happen, the negative mindset, or we could change our attitude to positive thinking and ask questions instead like, How could God create such beauty and perfection, like nature or my wife.
The more time we spend away from our focus on sin to spending time on loving God, the more we align our entire existence to His plan for us, to His kingdom and His righteousness.
Believe in Me, then all these things shall be added unto you.

We are covered completely by grace, regardless of how others judge our life. The more time we spend meditating, in communion with God, the greater His love overflows unto others around us, for we are to love our neighbors as ourselves.
If we could learn to receive His love. Think about it, thank Him for it and allow it to reveal our true character. That character that seldom gets angry or yells, is humble and giving and does not boast about how it lives but accepts others way of living, right or wrong. Yes, sides up with people struggling with sin in love not judgement. No more gossip, no more negative opinions, no more hurting other by what we say or how we act. For now that grace covers all our infidelity, all our imperfections, we are free to love.
God can not use us if we are focused on sin, but I guarantee you, God can and will use our love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Just at the right time, He will call us to love, not to judge and gossip. We have such immense power in Christ, maybe we'd be called to witness in a foreign language we don't know, or see something no one else can see, or heal the sick, or feed the masses.
Maybe just to smile at the very perfect time or say the kind word just when God needs us.

We develop spiritual attributes like patience, peace, humility, joy, tolerance, we put others before ourselves, in love.
By aligning our mindset to thinking positive things, we can become aligned with God's purpose and plan for our life. Struggling with sin in ourselves and others keeps us bound to baby food, a slow maturing rate, spiritually. God still loves us regardless of our walk with Him, its still our choice.
Paul asks that we assemble frequently to keep each other accountable to the gospel of grace.
I would love add the scripture references to my words, but it would fill many pages that no one would read. Search out the truth yourself in scripture. We are free from sin, free to approach God as our Father in Heaven and free to spend the rest of our days looking into His eyes, in His arms.
Aligning ourselves with God, also aligns us with scripture. Once He reveals to us His truth about grace and love, we can take that positive mindset and see the absolute beauty in the Old and New Testament.

A positive loving approach to everything rubs off on others, we motivate each other. All we need do is exercise our faith and believe we are free from sin in everything we do.
Life in Christ is a beautiful life, if we allow ourselves to grow and change our mindset.
Sin does not have to be the center of our day, were covered, free from it because of the blood Jesus shed for us. Enjoy the life God planned for us, today.
