Terry a person must repent of their sin which means to turn from it. To turn from your sin means you try, with the help of God, to not repeat that sin. If you do repeat it for some are not as easy to break from the first time like a bad habit, then you repent and turn from it yet again. God knows the heart and knows whether you are truly trying to walk away from a sin or just spouting words. "To go and sin no more" means to try to walk w/o sin the best you can while seeking God's help to do so and learning His word in order to help or resist temptation. Even Jesus used the scriptures to ward off temptation when satan tried to tempt Him after coming out of the desert for 40 days. Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee. We also need to put on the full armour of God to help defend ourselves from satan's attacks. With that in mind also know that when we repent, truly in our hearts, that God forgives us fully and remembers them no more. As David said in Psalm, He (God) casts them as far as the east is from the west. Don't let guilt and condemnation hinder you and shackel you and prevent you from walking in the Lord.
