How to Quit Sinning

I know I am a sinner, and no matter what I do in this life, the fact remains that I have sinned, but because of my relationship with JESUS, I want that to be a thing of the past in my life. I hate it when I recall the sins of the day as I go to my knees to talk to GOD and tell HIM about my day and ask for forgivenss and strength to resist the same temptations tomorrow. He honors that prayer and I do find strength the very next day and HE gives me HIS power to overcome those temptations. Unfortunately at the end of the day I realize that there are other sins to be forgiven. Praise GOD HE is changing me and I can look back at some things that used to be a temptation to me, and find that GOD has worked HIS miracle and they no longer have as much power to tempt me.

Paul knew this desire.
Romans 7:14 - 8;1 (New Living Translation)
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.
If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

Rom 8:1
"THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

What does Paul say of the carnal mind?
"The carnal mind is enmity against God..." Rom. 8:7.

Why is the carnal mind enmity?
"For it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Rom. 8:7.

Can one please God while he is carnally minded?
"So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." Rom. 8:8.

What will those receive who remain in that state?
"For to be carnally minded is death." Rom. 8:6.
NOTE: Since the "wages of sin is death" (Rom. 8:23), and "sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4), it follows that to be carnally minded is death. It is also sin, or a violation of God's law.

In what way may this condition be changed?
"We pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." 2 Cor. 5:20.

How was this reconciliation brought about in the case of the wicked Ninevites, when Jonah prophesied their destruction?
The king of Nineveh said, "Let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hand." "And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not." Jonah 3:8, 10.

Are repentance and confession still essential to reconciliation?
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out." Acts. 3:19. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.
Note: Two things HE does when we confess, (1) He forgives (2) and He cleanses us from all unrighteousness. He forgives us immediately and then he work in us to cleanse us from unright thinking and acting.

Is this work effected independently of the sinner's action?
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. "For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." Rom. 5:10.

How is the carnal mind destroyed?
"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." Rom. 6:6.

When the work on the part of the sinner has been thoroughly done, how complete will be the change in him?
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Cor. 5:17.

How may we know whether or not one has experienced this change?
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matt. 7:20.

If one has a spiritual mind, what fruit will he bear?
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." Gal. 5:22, 23.

What is the first result of justification?
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. 5:1.

How complete is the justification of that person who becomes reconciled to God?
"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7.

When thus reconciled to God, how will the individual stand?
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom. 8:1.

What does Jesus want us to do?
When a woman who was taken in adultry was brought to HIM to test HIM, Jesus showed forgiveness and at the same time it is thought that he scribbled the sins of her accusers in the sand and they all backed off. Then HE turned to her and asked her, "Where are your accusers" She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
Note: "go and sin no more" Anything GOD asks us to do HE also gives us the power to do it, we have to let HIS will be ours...we have to choose HIS will in order to overcome.
