You say you have tried and failed!
May I ask you a few questions?
When you began the Christian life, did you:
1st. Trust Christ’s FINISHED WORK alone?
WHO his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
I Peter 2:24.
2nd. Did you SURRENDER all to God? God is demanding this.
MY son give me thine heart.
Proverbs 23:26.
3rd. Did you CONFESS CHRIST publicly?
WHOSOEVER therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:32-33.
4th. Did you PRAY constantly?
PRAY without ceasing.
I Thessalonians 5:17.
5th. Did you faithfully STUDY YOUR BIBLE? Have you read it today?
AS newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.
I Peter 2:2.
6th. Did you shun EVIL COMPANIONS?
BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psalm 1:1.
7th. Did you GO TO WORK for Christ?
AND to every man his work.
Mark 13:34.
