Youth : I committed a sin, now what do I do?

Many young people turn away from God, give up being faithful in their faith, after committing a sin (something they know is wrong, something that separates them from God, but still continue to do so).



After committing a sin, the person no longer seems the same anymore, before they were fervent, but now are full of doubts and insecurities; before they lived a peaceful life, now they are living an inner hell.

How does one get out of this situation? How does one turn back? Is it possible?

Before knowing the answer to these questions, you should first consider what led him/her to commit sin. Nobody having an intimate communion with God, who fears Him and is vigilant, wakes up one day and decides to throw away everything that they conquered spiritually to commit a sin and thus throwing their salvation away.

First there was numbness of faith, a lack of vigilance, a lack of fear, and an accommodation!
This was the beginning of the fall. And that is where it should be fixed.

“Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. ”
Revelation 2:5

Many people run to God, asking for forgiveness of their sins, but then they end up falling back to commit the same sin again. There was no repentance, only a regret, and a remorse for what happened.
You need to cut off whatever made you fall in the first place, whether it is a friendship, a computer, or a relationship.

  1. This is very helpful what action we need if we commit sin.Repentance is not by words but by our actions to sacrifice those things that is affecting our spiritual life.And be humble to ask for forgiveness for what has been done and act to change it.It’s not easy but when we are serious with our commitment with God we may overcame our struggles.

  2. Thank you for this message
    A lot of times, we make mistakes that can potentially separate us from the presence of God but we never really know what to do about it. So we just pray asking God to forgive us and go back to the same sin that caused us to be far from Him but what i learned here is that a feeling of regret is not going to change things for us but rather to actually let go of that very thing that separated us from God in the very first place.
    I look forward to learning more about this
    Thank you once again

  5. that’s true, when we fall we should repent while there is still time, if you notice that you keep on repeating the same sin, then you should look and see what causes you to do it and cut it off. thanks

  6. Hi,
    The words you use are so vital to checking. “Numbness of faith”, lack of vigilance/fear. Really important words that have been chosen as God tells us about them all. These things are seen by a person. Even the examples you have chosen are to be looked at very carefully. I will be looking out for part two to this
