God’s word never changes and it never will. God offers us mercy and forgiveness for the sins that we’ve committed, however, as a condition of our Salvation, we have to repent of our sins. In John 8:11, Jesus said: “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” As Christians, we have to do our level best to walk away from the sinful lifestyle that we were living and never look back or we risk returning to our sinful lifestyles.
The apostle Paul discussed the need to be repentant and to turn away from our ungodly lusts, our sinful lifestyle that we were once in bondage to, and to live in freedom through Christ Jesus. See, before we fell to our knees before the cross and asked Jesus for forgiveness, we were slaves to sin because we didn't know any better. However, after we became believers and renounced all of our sin, the blood of Jesus cleansed us; we were made sinless, righteous, just like Jesus.
Hebrews 10 tells us that if we intentionally transgress, we’re trampling Jesus' sacrifice underfoot, we’re causing Jesus to die for us in vain. Put another way: Since we've been cleansed by the blood of Jesus, we can’t just keep on sinning and hope that God will look the other way or excuse our sins due to what society says we can do; He doesn’t and He won’t. That means no more smoking pot, drinking heavily or anything like that.
On the other hand, if you do slip up—as all of us do occasionally—take the sin to God, confess it to Him, renounce the sin, ask for His forgiveness, and get on with your life… don’t give the devil a foothold by beating yourself up over it. Remember that God is quick to forgive.
Now that Christ has set us free, now that he has opened the cell doors for us like he did for the apostles in Acts 5 and offered us a better way, we have to step out of our dark, dank, smelly prison cells into the light of day and let the awesome power of Christ transform us into children of light.

Dante In Love is the story of the most famous journey in literature. Dante Alighieri, exiled from his home in Florence, a
fugitive from justice, followed a road in 1302 that took him first to the labyrinths of hell then up the healing mountain of
purgatory, and finally to paradise. He found a vision and a language that made him immortal.
Author Harriet Rubin follows
Dante's path along the old Jubilee routes that linked monasteries and all roads to Rome. It is a path followed by generations of
seekers--from T.S. Eliot, Sigmund Freud, Primo Levi, to Bruce Springsteen. After the poet fled Rome for Siena he walked along the
upper Arno, past La Verna, to Bibiena, to Cesena, and to the Po Plain.
During his nineteen year journy, Dante wrote his
"unfathomable heart song," as Thomas Carlyle called The Divine Comedy, a poem that explores the three states of the
psyche. Eliot, a lifelong student of the Comedy, said, "Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them,
there is no third.
Dante In Love tells the story of the High Middle Ages, a time during which the artist Giotto was the
first to paint the sky blue, Francis of Assisi discovered knowledge in humility and the great doctors of the church mapped the soul
and stood back to admire their cathedrals. Dante's medieval world gave birth to the foundation of modern art, faith, and
commerce.
Dante and his fellow artistis were trying to decode God's art and in so doing unravel the double helix of creativity.
We meet the painters, church builders, and pilgrims from Florence to Rome to Venice and Verona who made the roads the center of
the medieval world. Following Dante's route, we are inspired to undertake journeys of discovering ourselves.
