Thanks for this message. God holds us responsible for our actions. Also, he requires that we live up to his righteous standards. As our creator, he knows what is best for us, and his principles condemn many of the habits common in the world. However, he is also realistic and compassionate in what he expects from imperfect humans. If errors were what you watch, O Jah, O Jehovah, who could stand?" Yes, Jehovah knows full well that "the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up. However, this consideration on God's part does not absolve us of our responsibility to control bad desires. Self control is essential in combating our wrong inclinations and habits and ultimately prevailing over them. Think about the benefits of breaking the old pattern, then, make a list of how changing your behavior could improve your life. Focusing on the benefits of changing our negative behavior can motivate us to change. This let us try to do away with bad habits for the sake of Christ
