How do I get rid of the sin of pornography?
Question:
Hello sir,
I want to know how I can get rid of my sins. Actually, I am from a Christian family. I grew up in a good environment, but about six months ago I started seeing unwanted movies on the Internet. I know it was very sinful, and after seeing the movies I apologized to God. However, after some hours I am again watching these kinds of movies. I want to get rid off of this sin. Jesus will forgive me? What must I do?
Please reply to this mail.
Answer:
As you now realize, just because you come from a good home, it doesn't mean you are protected from sin. Can you be forgiven? Of course! God's desire is that you are saved from your sins. But it means you have to be willing to give up your sins. ""But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord GOD, "and not that he should turn from his ways and live?"" (Ezekiel 18:21-23).
It will be a bit difficult. But if you will work with me and ask questions about what you don't understand, then I am willing to work with you as well. Am I correct in assuming that you are a young male?
The first step is to understand that you are being manipulated to sin. Satan has put the bait of sex on a hook. You see the bait, you may even see the hook, but you bit anyway. So to stop, you first need to understand how you are being manipulated, why you are being manipulated, and why it is harmful. I want you to read two related answers to similar questions. When you are done, then tell me more about what is going on so we can get you out.
